Since there have been several thousand incomplete downloads I'm sure I used a whole lot more bandwith than that, I would guess at least twice that amoun, but I really have no way to tellt. I'm just supprised that they havent snipped my connection yet
While were on the topic of useless statistics, my MySQL Server has been hit with 557837 queries as well.
Anyone have a copy of lindows?
Why is it that everytime I download Lindows, Nero claims the cue sheet is corrupt???????
I will snag it again and try Colne cd I think it is, the one with the sheep on the icon......heh

I have never had a problem buring ISO's.....
It is an EIDE Philips.
I use 1x or 2x when I am having problems with the burning, that usually helps, but not this time....heh

Hi there!
Well, sort of, just for grins I tried loading FreeSpire on my new editing box.
ASRock 775Dual-ASTA mobo
Pentium 820D 2.8 O'Cd to 3.4
2 gig DDR400
PNY GeForce FX5500 dual VGA, 128meg ram AGP card
Chaintech 7.1 sound card
Adaptec SCSII card for scanner
WinTV GO! for analog capture (don't laugh, 720 X 480 picture perfect!)
SIIG multi-purpose firewire, usb, ata100, raid card
They say it only takes 10min. to load FreeSpire, guess what, it only took 8!
It identified mobo, ram, video card, sound card, both dvd burners, both hard drives and all partitions!
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!
I think I'll subscribe to CNR(?, hope that's right) and see how much of this hodge-podge of parts can be made to really work on this box!
Regards,
jaybird

Nice! I'll have to take a look at it.jaybird wrote:Hi there!
Well, sort of, just for grins I tried loading FreeSpire on my new editing box.
ASRock 775Dual-ASTA mobo
Pentium 820D 2.8 O'Cd to 3.4
2 gig DDR400
PNY GeForce FX5500 dual VGA, 128meg ram AGP card
Chaintech 7.1 sound card
Adaptec SCSII card for scanner
WinTV GO! for analog capture (don't laugh, 720 X 480 picture perfect!)
SIIG multi-purpose firewire, usb, ata100, raid card
They say it only takes 10min. to load FreeSpire, guess what, it only took 8!
It identified mobo, ram, video card, sound card, both dvd burners, both hard drives and all partitions!
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!
I think I'll subscribe to CNR(?, hope that's right) and see how much of this hodge-podge of parts can be made to really work on this box!
Regards,

Just an update,
I haven't had a lot of time to "play" with FreeSpire yet, however, I did reload it again (just running it from the CD-ROM at this time) and with a little nosing around I found out that it did identify ALL PCI cards in my new box correctly!
1. PNY GeForce FX5500 128meg, dual head vid card
2. Chaintech 7.1 sound card (surround sound even works with no set-up!)
3. ADAPTEC SCSII AND Microtek X6EL scanner
4. WinTV GO! analog vidoe capture card
5. SIIG multi-function card (FireWire, USB, ATA100, RAID)
6. Both CD/DVD 'burners!
7. My HP HP5L and Canon i900D printers!
8. My DATA USB modem
Of course this doesn't mean that I'll find drivers for all of this but so far things are looking up!
It also "sees" all partitions (FAT32 & NTFS), drives and folders.
I just have to figure out how to make things work, I know NOTHING about Linux. This is supposed to be an OS for people who just want their PC to "WORK", not for them to become "experts" in LINUX.
We shall see !
The next thing on my "adgenda" is to get both monitors functioning!
Stay tuned for "the rest of the story!"
