I only know that windows detects CD's whenever the CD door is opened/closed.
okay, so i installed gentoo on VMWare, it's a good distro. but i still perfer SuSE.
some apps were optimised to run on GNOME.
I tried millions of diffrent distro's and SuSE was the one i liked the most. it is very powerful. Although, Mandrake is okay, but I like suse the most.
the only thing i would improve in suse is... in personal they can include Wine HQ and.. in pro they can include crossover
your right, although, i think it's mozilla. konqueror uses a simular engine that mozilla does(hey, you can use mozilla plugins in konqueror). why dont you just use opera? if the bold fonts annoy you then use opera.
Gameware made a nice Virtual life game called docking station. fully expandable and stuff like that. best of all, there is a linux version of it. it's pretty cool. It's also free. http://www.gamewaredevelopment.co.uk/ds/ds_index.php
I like SuSE 9.1. also, if sun systems do make a 3d desktop like that i would be happy, its so cool .
