>Allegro as in lisp? >Can't spell? You'll fit in on IRC ;-) >Greetings from North End. >-- >MJR No allegro as in the C games programming lib. Its multi platform windowz, QNX, DOS, BEos, MAC and Linux witch is good coz that way there are loadz of games the can just be ported with little trouble... well unless they decided to use some platform specific stuff(DirecX). Try www.allegro.cc its not the official site but has loads of games listed (most with code =). Ye IRC'z ok but i gota use mirc =( coz i dont have my linux machine connected. lol don't think the rest of my family would like an old version of linux the next time they try to do some work on it. hhhmm that's a point is there any linux programs that can make MS word readable files? i think i have been told about one be4... just cant remember much about it =( Dennis -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.graffiti.net Powered by Outblaze

I understand that an introduction is usual. I would seem to be somewhat out of the usual run of your membership, in that that my only experience of computers is that of using one to write papers for publication, letters and articles, (and their associated filing) and the maintenance of records of my finances. I only came to the use of a computer as some of the periodicals I wrote for stated requesting their copy on floppy disk or by Email, I have had experience of Email which is best counted in days rather than weeks. It is my experience of Email and the propensity for windows to shut down when dialling in that has caused me to seek to install and learn to use Linux which is reputed to be more stable. My level of expertise extends to being able to work the keyboard and the various on/off switches, but I am prepared to learn. It appears to me that I would make an ideal test-bed for the use of the various forms of Linux as if you can get me to be able to use it with some facility then it should be suitable for more general use. I have already managed to convince my prospective son-in-law of its value and he has it installed on his computer, we look forward to learning together. John Seago

Linux and Pentium 4's
by Martyn Drake 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Hi, Has (or does) anybody here run Linux on a Pentium 4 machine? The reason for asking is that I've heard there were some potential problems with some kernels with this processor and before I attempt to install Linux on such a beast, I just wanted to hear anybody's advice on doing so. Regards, Martyn
