Mittens, there was an issue with Mozilla like, yesterday. Think they might be related? I'm not sure what the issue was, I just updated.

Found it:

There are a few updates that seemed to have problems, but I haven't yet, and I updated after getting Swaret to work on my 10.0 box. If all else fails, E-mail Patric, he's a nice guy usually.

Ah.. time to run Swaret... I need to get that cronned again..

Can I ask why he was banned? Ahh, oh well.. Anyways:

Probably Mandrake 8.2 or something to start you off.

I said probably because any early version of Mandrake (or specifically that one) I've found to help benefit those user's who are making the jump to linux from Window's. Just my personal experience's, ya know?

I have used RH 7.3, 8, and 9. 7.3 was probably the best, 8 was crap, and I did not have any real problems with 9. Just installed Fedora Core 2. Kinda buggy to me. I will try slackware and freebsd on this comp to see which one will become my main OS.(for awhile anyways)

Hey, im trying to mount this ntfs drive for memory while he's at work...i get an error that the kernel is not compatible with ntfs ?? is there an update or a oatch, how do i install it ? where do i get it !!?!

The linux-ntfs site downloads page has RPM's
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/index.html
And here's the link for redhat 9.0 which is what I think he decided to go with.
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/redhat9.html
And you might want to read the instructions before you d/l anything.
