of course Windows installs most everything and turns most of it on by
default at startup.
I can install and configure samba on Linux as easily as I can install
Windows 2000 server UNTIL I get to ldap. That takes me longer on Linux.
I definitely prefer BIND and DHCP server on Linux to Windows. Of course,
speed of install/configure is just one of the considerations. There is
stability, lifetime cost of ownership, speed, etc. I am certain that a
Samba server outperforms Windows 2000 server.
A single provider, single set of tools concept of Windows is a distinct
advantage. On Linux - I would suggest webmin <http://www.webmin.com>
As for a 'complete config walkthrough' for Samba/Winbind - I think
you'll find that at samba.org - Samba by Example
<http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/>
For someone with a good working knowledge of Windows networking - domain
setup - accounts, profiles, policies - it's pretty easy.
Emacs vs. Regedit.exe - I'll take emacs every time. But hey, that's just
me. I'm sure that some, far more knowledgable than me, would go the
other way.
Lastly, knowledge is an investment. Not spending the time to gain
knowledge is less than what I expect of myself and not only sells myself
short, but also denies my clients of other, perhaps better
possibilities.

Hi Philippe:
If you haven't already done the install, you could create a "home" partition
if you have enough space on the hard drive.  You would need to use fdisk or 
some kind of partitioning software to reduce the size of the partition where
you would create the new partition, then create it as some name other than 
"/home/xxxx".  Then copy everything from the original "home" to the new one 
keeping the permissions and ownership as it is.  You would then have to do 
some name changing:  the original "/home" to something else and the new 
partition to "/home/xxxx".  That all should be done as root.
After the copying and renaming is done, you should reboot just to make sure 
that everything is working as before.  If so, go ahead and do your fresh 
install but DON'T reformat the "/home" partition.

Are you running the 'canna' server?  I believe thats what displays the

Hmmm, could you also try booting with
   acpi=off
instead of
   pci=routeirq
Did you try reconfiguring your soundcard using system-config-soundcard?
With the old kernel does your soundcard still work? Could you compare
the output from the old and the new kernel?

Strange; I have a Fedora box running DHCP, DNS etc. and didn't see a 
broadcast storm (though I did turn off mDNSResponder soon after 
installation as an unneeded service). I'd have though these things would 
be designed to co-exist peacefully with the ubiqitous DHCP etc.

Hi list,
what happened to rpm.livna.org? Since days I am trying to apt-get

down, or do I have to change something in my config?

Is the result correct?  Here's what I get on my system with an ASUS
SP97-V motherboard:
# dmidecode | grep PCI | wc -l
9
No way is that correct.  I had to change the filter for grep to get
the correct count.
# dmidecode | grep "PCI Slot" | wc -l
4
So even if I changed the filter to "Slot"  the results would not be
that useful.  The ASUS SP97-V MB has 4 PCI and 3 ISA slots, but only 6
openings.  One opening is shared.  The information dmidecode provides
is useful but incomplete.  dmicode cannot determine if an ISA slot is
occupied.  Even if you have a new motherboard with all PCI slots the
data provided would not tell you that an installed card is oversize
and requires an adjacent slot or that an opening is used for an I/O
panel.  You are still going to need to use keep track of what is
installed.

acpi=off does not help.
The sound card works ok with kernel 724, but no sound with kernel 741.

Yes ; I do not see any particular error message.
The identification of the sound card is correct. The only problem is 
that ... i just do hear the so beautiful test sound !

Yes, no problem !

I do not see any significant difference concerning the sound card. You 
can have a look at the corresponding sections of /var/log/messages:

I can't find a printer maintenance utility for my epson cx3200. I've 
just tried escputil but it doesn't seem to do anything for me.
Any ideas?

My list of unresolved issues in fc3
* get a printer maintenance utility for printer under cups in fc3
* get java working in fc3
* get recognition of danish characters in filenames on fc3.
* get thunderbird address book working in both os's (fc3 and winxp)
* share profile in firefox across os's (got bookmarks working - is that 
it?)
* get explorer running with wine, check for netbanking.

well, you're (partially) right. It depends on the version of dmidecode.
In my case dmidecode was right. With a "newer" version
    root@elmstreet / # dmidecode | grep PCI | wc -l
    7
    root@elmstreet / # dmidecode | grep PCI
                         PCI is supported
                 Type: 32-bit PCI
                 Type: 32-bit PCI
                 Type: 32-bit PCI
                 Type: 32-bit PCI
                 Type: 32-bit PCI
                 Type: 32-bit PCI
With the version you have it's obviously somthing different.

What is the output of dmidecode on your system. Could you send me
the output (maybe off-list)?
