Radeon ATI HD3650 or Nvidia 8600M GT
by Boggiano
I have to buy a second hand laptop and I have to choose between two
Dell laptops!
They are almost the same the only big difference is the video card:
one has Nvidia 8600M GT 512MB and the other has a Radeon
ATI HD3650 256 MB.
My goal is soft video editing and normal use (web, office...) and of
course all the 3D functions of kde! ;)
Any advice,please ?
Thanks!

Wine and iexplore.exe
by JD
executed the command
wine "/sdb3/home/jd/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Internet
Explorer/iexplore.exe"
After some time a gui window came up with tiny squares for text
and also a small banner titled Program error, with tiny squares
for text.
After a while that gui window took more legible shape and became
a compose email window of outlook.
Has anyone made it work?
Just trying to see how well wine emulates windows runtime env.

Hi all,
does anyone know if and how I could run a 64bit guest with the
virtualbox-OSE package provided by rpmfusion?
Currently I can only run 32 bit guests, 64bit fails silently.

serial8250: too much work for irq 19
by Richard Shaw
I installed F13 on my Dad's computer last night and ran into this
issue. The install itself went perfectly. I'm not sure what's
different between what services get run during install and regular
startup, but I can boot to the recovery option of the install DVD and
chroot to the system drive no problem.
When I boot normally everything starts fine and then somewhere around
the avahi daemon starting the system slows to a CRAWL, the abrt daemon
fails to start but otherwise continues.
Checking dmesg I see the following repeated probably 1000 times:
serial8250: too much work for irq 19
I've googled this and the fact that my Dad's hardware is current (Acer
dual core Pentium D) I don't think it actually has a 8250 UART. It
could be a serial port that's not being detected correctly or an
internal modem. I'll have to get him to check if he actually has
one...
Anyone have any experience troubleshooting things like this?
Thanks,
Richard

rkhunter warning
by Steve Blackwell
This morning I checked out an rkhunter warning I got and found it was
because of a hidden directory /etc/.java.
I installed Sun's java recently so I expect it's because of that.
I just wanted to check and see that other people who have installed
Sun's (or rather Oracle's) java also have a /etc/.java directory.
Thanks,
Steve

Flash-Plugin
by mike
Running F13 with Opera and Firefox and hav a app that wants current
flash. I down loaded the flah rpm and my word two pages of "dependency
not installed".
Is there any way in the rpm command to load all those or is it do a
screen cap and slog em down the hard way.
I poured over the rpm man pages and saw nothing that jumped out at me!
Thanks
