This is am easy change.
Carefully remove glass from the front of your monitor. Remove the old desktop paper. Insert new paper into your monitor making sure the correct size is used. Replace glass. Good Luck. -------------

I just dont understand Mac users bashing linux when OSX is just Darwin BSD with a fancy GUI, BSD and linux are so similar it isn't funny. But yeah I suspect hes running a crappy distro like redhat or mandrake. Gentoo 4 lyf fewl. -------------  http://solipsism.ath.cx - solipsism.ath.cx |

Word fools.
See, it would help if you told us a few things. What distro, and what Window Manager you are using. I am going to Assume RedHat with either K or Gnome. Both of which suck. Let me know and maybe we can help you. K Thx. |

Knoppix is cool and all for messing around with but get a real distro.
Thats like cheating, since all you have to do is throw the cd in the drive and let it boot instead of windows. That doesn't qualify as running linux to me. ------------- http://solipsism.ath.cx - solipsism.ath.cx |

Yeah, it may be cheater linux...I have it. I get so frustrated with it though and I give up. Therefore, I don't have a real linux box yet.
BTW, I had a heck of a time finding the root password for knoppix, what is it? -------------

You make your own pass, but its only configed for a single user since its on a cd of mine. I find it nice for learning linux and I have a few programs for it but not alot... -------------

Heh. Run Linux like a pro. Nothing but a Command line.
I currently have 2 Linux boxes, and all they have power for is CLI. It's fine for me, all I use them for is Chatting, and a local fileserver. |

Meh. I stopped running Linux for a while, went to download a new distro today and their site had been hacked.
Once it's up again, I'll be doing Linux 24/7, only using the ntfs partition for file storage that's already there, and slowly moving it to the fat32 partition. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die. 
Okay, I don't have a clever signature zinger. So sue me. |
