pppoe (dsl) tip for noobs like me...

Anonymous
Take Ubuntu for example, there is no 'in your face' pppoe (dsl) setup tool. Open a 'root' terminal window and type pppoeconf (without the quotation marks) and then hit the <enter> key. You will see a bunch of questions in a 'text' style interface.

USB optical mouse problems!!!

Dapper Dan
I've spent the better part of today in vain trying to get my mouse configured. It's a Logitech USB optical scroll mouse. The weird thing is, just yesterday it was working perfectly! To retrace, I installed Slackware 10 Sunday and quickly had my mouse configured and working perfectly.

multiple page threads

Anonymous
Just a suggestion. How about a 'next page' button/link at the top of each of the thread pages. It is a bit of a pain to scroll/drag the page to get to the 'next page' button/link. .
