Netscape for Linux

Mel
For you winXX refugees. I f you are familiar with and like the Netscape web browser , it is available for Linux. If you have never tried Netscape, I think you should try it. Netscape 7. 1 has the same look ,ease of use and all the extras in the Linux release as in the win version.

Help me escape!

Maillion
Until recently, there were three programs that I absolutely had to have in Windoze: 1. A paint prgram like Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop 2. An image catalogger like Thumbs Plus and 3. A virtual drive encryption program like Scramdisk or E4M.

Connecting to Internet using Mandrake

axp
I have not yet installed Mandrake Linux 9. 1 but was wondering whether you can (easily) connect to the internet from mandrake. Does this involve installing TCP/IP protocols? And whats all this stuff about PPP scripts?? I have a WinModem which Lycoris detected so Im assuming Mandrake will as well?.

Mandrake 9.2 + Winxp

elles
OK, I'm a total newbie here. I have no idea what I have done. So far, I have installed Linux (Mandrake 9. 2) by following my teacher's instructions. He suggestd we install it because it's a C programing/unix class.

Swap file not being used

dave111
Just new to Linux, loaded Mandrake 9. 2 successfully, but system runs very slowly. The KDE monitor shows the swap usage as zero at all times, and shows RAM nearly full (256 MB). Yet on initialization and termination, Swap is listed as being started and stopped, and is present on the hard drive configuration.

RedHat9.0 add aplications ( interesting glitch )

Mel
When adding apps in RH9 ,each time a disk was requested add apps gave the message error loading package and exited. This was no real problem for me but may be for someone. My solution was to simply leave the selected disk in the drive and restart Add Apps.
