Not Terribly Lively, Are We?

TymbrWlf
I'm a WinDoze user who is seriously evaluating a move to Linux. I've beeen a regular at NTCompatible. com for a few years now and when I heard about a Linux compatible sister-site, I was ecstatic, because I knew how helpful NTCompatible had been for me in getting away from Win9x/WinME (what garbage!) and migrating ...

What's the point of WINE?

clutch
OK, I have been fiddling around with WINE for a little bit, and I think I must be missing the point. I was under the impression that you could install applications using it, and that its barebones installation would at least allow that.

problems installing Mandrake 8.2

socomcen
I have a CTX 200Mhz AMD K6 MMX with 128M of EDO RAM and a Matrox 3. 7G HDD. I can install the basic Mandrake 8. 2 OS but if I try installing any of the applications it locks up when installing from the Commercial Applications CD2 (x86) and then nothing works.

Mandrake 6 can't detect my floppy drive

bobbinbrisco
i boot mandrake from the cd and everything goes well until the end of the installation when i want to use a floppy to boot to Mandrake instead of using LILO. the problem is that Mandrake can't detect my floppy: it tries to write data to the floppy drive but nothing happens.

I just installed the new Red Hat Linux 7. 4/8. 0(?) beta on my Notebook. To my surprise, this release looks more like Windows XP 8) Here a screenshot from the new desktop (running KDE 3. 0. 3): Finally, a distro with good looking default fonts.
