am not planning to use the desktop anyway. just through command line... :)btw, regarding drivers...upon installation of any distro, does it automatically download the necessary drivers?and are these just generic linux drivers?

depende sa distro..but usually device-specific linux driver are downloaded on a 'as needed' basis.

[webmaster_ph]

ok...so i don't have to worry about drivers not being found and compatibility issues.

 

thanks, Ryuji_tanaka.

[webmaster_ph]

yeah, will only run on console; no desktop.

Question po for the Linux experts

 

Meron po bang magandang dial-up na modem na hindi mahirap i-install at gamitin for any Linux distro? (I have some live CDs for Ubuntu and Fedora and am planning to install it on separate hard drives).

 

Yung nasa PC ko ngayon, Conexant yung chipset nya (DLink is the manufacturer), but most Google searches lead me to either a driver that requires a license fee to make the whole thing work (the "free version", according to the website, would limit me to a paltry speed ) or to a computer retailer's website, which most likely made this driver for their own products. So kung meron po kayong recommended na modem, I'd give it a try. Thanks

use ndiswrapper and just run the windows driver for the modem....or you can google for a driver.

what's the difference between kd (or kdh) and gnome?

master.. kd? or kde?

[webmaster_ph]

lolz...kde

 

why the need for multiple interfaces?

[Guest Leviticus]

^^the most common answer for that is user preference. some users prefer KDE (since kamukha nya ang windows interface) while most prefer gnome. personally I prefer gnome. maskumportable ako dito as compared to kde
