But, I got something messed up. The display doesn't take up the entire screen. There is a lot of extra black space, how do I make the display take up the entire screen?Are you using the standard vga display driver? If so, using your manufacturers driver may fix that.
EDIT: I tried the "Configure Desktop" thing, but the biggest display is 1024 x 768 and theres still a lot of black space. I remember from the installation there was bigger displays, I think.

Tried it and switched back to 1.5, I really don't like the gui changes and have no desire to edit them out myself.

Unix / Linux Discussion / Re: Boot issues (again)
« on: December 16, 2005, 12:21:10 pm »Install GRUB on your MBR to fix the boot issue
grub is insanely easy to use and in my experience is a lot easier to find documentation/help on. I think it is definately better for a new user since you don't have to do anything every time you update the kernel.

« on: December 16, 2005, 09:56:22 am »Having organizations running the public internet right now seems to be working pretty fine.
If by fine you mean ICANN being virtually controlled by the US government and ISPs that can do pretty much anything they want....

Yeah, I remember hearing that too. I was only commenting on iago's suggestions.
I think a lot of college campuses have some sort of Internet2 running, right?
code name Abilene is the major Internet2 backbone in the states, They have pipelines running as depicted here: http://loadrunner.uits.iu.edu/weathermaps/abilene Most users of abilene are larger universities and companies with large IT interests (telcos, IBM, etc)
