I run Gentoo on my mini-itx box and Ubuntu on four other home

frankly I prefer gnome to kde - and use xfce or enlightenment when

the local library. Basically, I go over there one or two times a month
for an hour or two to do updates - beyond that, they run.

Um...does anyone know which language I pick on babelfish or
freetranslation to decipher this?

Computer Geek, I think, but it may be a particular dialect.

I'm surprised one of the geeks who designed those

Gnome and KDE are the biggest windows managers in terms of popularity.
Windows managers are what give you the desktop interface under Unix/Linux.
KDE looks the most like Windows. I prefer Gnome however as I prefer to do my
own thing. XFCE and Enlightenment are also windows managers, but require
much less resources. Ubuntu and RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) are
distributions OF Linux. Basically a group gets together and decides they
want to go a certain direction, and compile and add different things in that
package. Thus the particular distro. I personally have used Slackware,
Debian, RH, Suse, and Mandrake/Mandriva which is my personal favorite.

Wow. And I just use an "on" switch and a mouse...

OK, all you experts. A question. Suddenly, without warning,
I've lost sound. None form the PC tower, none from the
speakers (which are on and working). It also happened a
couple of months back for about three days then miraculously
reappeared. Now it seems permanent.

There are no obvious physical problems - nothing dislodged
from motherboard, all connections solid etc.

Any suggestions for faultfinding before I take it to the
expensive tech?
