gothzane Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 Theres a conspiracy theory going around that microsoft puts melicious code deep within the kernels to completly destory the os or the program when they reach a certain age forcing you to upgrade......brilliant marketing ploy? or plotting tyrannical slave laborists? you decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice!! I'm in the same boat you are... I have to recompile my kernel as well because it won't mount an NTFS partition. It also doesn't like my sound card, i'm not sure if its just not supported or what. I don't game, so no problems there. Gaim is pretty good, aim for linux is about the same except you can't send or receive files which really blows. So far so good, just a lot of tricky lines of code to learn if u want to get the most out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebitch Posted November 9 Report Share Posted November 9 for the soundcard you can try alsa (which is free) or this thing called oss which you have to buy for 10$ but it always works... i would try alsa first. also theres something called soundconfig or sndconfig that u can run.

I have 2 soundcards in my Dell Optiplex. An integrated Aureal Vortex, and a pci Turtle Beach Montego II a3d. It doesn't detect the montego, only the aureal. No audio though, none of the audio applications work, they all give an error... sound configuration. I remember I had sound right away when I installed Redhat 6.2 a while ago. Different hardware though. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
