So I installed Linuxoze

[DukePuke]

Well actualy I installed Slackware 9.0, which comes *only* with 1 CD lol, and it included KDE and Gnome. So i believe i missed lots of shit, now i suffer of manual installing. Actualy downloaded swaret - it is sweet, now I dont need to fuck around stupid tucows or sourceforge and fight thorough those dump mirror pages just to install stupid lib.

Dunno actualy, Also i got messages while installing   app that I need some kind of SDL lib, which i looked thorough swaret I have installed allready.

BTW thanks

try swaret --dep

For SDL:
First install some 3D game using swaret.
This should install most SDL libs for you.

pkgtool

KDE can (when KDM is being used), and Gnome can do it as well.    

BTW DukePuke: type "startx" and watch the magic.    

Actually, every WM does it.

really? let me fire up a default twm or fvwm config and see if it does.

nope. it doesn't.

desktops may do it... window managers don't.

don't confuse window managers with desktops! too many people do that!

Man, problems again. during TuxRacer configure got error: Some kind of glx or whatever opengl header file is out of date! Who cares now I am messing thorough lots off sites to solve this problem. Actualy its my mistake, I had to install Mandrake 10, all 4 CD's , I believe all libraries had been placed in my komp

Use an RPM (or urpmi).

If you have problems with it, you should use some auto-installer.

PS: what's your video-card?

its some kind integrated via chipset with 8 MB shared memory (please dont laugh much). But BTW its ok for kde and apps, mouse move pretty smooth.

Actualy about those mesa3d libs. I do "make linux", and it compiled shit 5-10 mins, but then i try to "./configure" tuxracer, it STILL prompts i have out-of-date glx.h! And prompt advices me to get those damn libs from mesa3d, man looks like its gonna be cool day

I doubt if you can play many 3D games with your card.
I'm not a 'gamer' and I don't use mandrake.
Still, I'm sure urpmi should do those things for you.
A friendly Mandrake user(Refalm?) should be able to help you with urpmi.
I only compile stuff on 'Slack'.
I don't find it needed on Fedora and SuSE.
As far as I know, Mandrake should be just as easy.

Good luck.

Restin didn't.
Any WM can do that.
You just didn't configure it to work like that.

PS: You whould have to change the runlevels in most distro's.

AHA!

Therefore, the option isn't truly valid. You have to KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, don't you? I do believe I said "default install", didn't I? I'm very well aware that you can make it do it. You can do anything in *nix through config files and scripts.

That, however, is not acceptable for an end-user desktop! I know that Slack isn't even trying to be a "friendly desktop" OS, but a geek-paradise mega-configurable, super-duper workstation or server OS.

Know what the best idea ever to happen to Linux on the desktop will be, regarding turning off your computer?



THAT WILL BE IT. Choose "Log Out" from Workspace Manager in GenSTEP, and you'll be greeted with a lovely dialog asking if you want to log out, or turn off your computer! Choose "Shut Down" (Power Off is far too literal to give you further choices) and it will ask you if you want to turn it off or restart it!

And all of this is handled in GUI! :-p

BTW... what the Hell is "Linuxoze"

Variety is a wonderfull thing.
