Welcome on my Linux Page. I'm Dennis from The Netherlands and run Linux RedHat 5.1 kernel 2.1.132...

I got a Intel Pentium 300 MHz, 2.5 gig HD, AWE-32 Soundcard, ISDN, a Trident 975 AGP video card, 64 MB of memory and a 15" Monitor. As desktop i run KDE (which is great for me, although i know many people dislike it). Included on this page are also some screenshots of my KDE.

What you'll find on this page ?

Information about Linux, HOWTO's, screenshots and links to Linux related sites.


THE LINUX PREACHERS

The current Linux Preachers are Mad Madness, KaaSJoNGeN and Herejezus. We are preaching Linux and are trying to convert the people in the microsoft stranghold, stuck to windows, to Linux. The current system's we installed are Castle Rock - Otherland - and Boulder. When given birth, the new Linux system gets a name. If you're interested in being converted, or want to be a Linux Preacher yourself, mail Mad Madness and i'll get back to you. Also for the Linux Preachers CDROM volume #1 with lots of programs/games/appz for Linux mail me.
You might wonder why people want to run Linux. There are several reasons for that :
Some people want to explore the (better) alternative to Windows
Most software for Linux is FREE. You get even the sourcecode with 95% of the packages!
Everything you can do in windows you can do in Linux, only it is cheaper, takes less CPU time, doesn't crash, and you can do even more!
Linux offers you much more privacy ;)
For people who are not text orientated, there is X-Window and/or KDE!

Why many people DON'T run Linux :

They think it's too difficult for them
They are too stuck to Microsoft Windows
They like Microsoft Windows (??)
They consider themselves the 'average' user

I only preach Linux to the ones who want more out of their computer, not the average users. Let them run their crappy Microsoft programs and be happy :)


HOWTO SECTION


Take a look at my AWE-32/64-NL-HOWTO written in the Dutch language. or the AWE-32/64-ENG-HOWTO in English.
Many Linux Newbies seem to have problems with their dialup. First of all read the ISP-Hookup-HOWTO in /usr/doc/HOWTO very carefully and follow every step, and secondly take a look at this Universial PPP script . With this you should manage ;)
There are also some certain ISA PnP modems you can't get to work with regular scripts, for that use the ISA PnP Modem Script.
There are some ppl who don't even know how to format a floppy in linux. Here's a little format-script that saves some typing.
For the Dutch ISDN users (isdn4k-utils) there is the I4L-HOWTO to read. I didn't got the scripts in there to work correctly, so i used these scripts :

/etc/i4l.conf
/etc/ppp/ioptions
/etc/ppp/ip-down
/etc/ppp/ip-up
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.isdn
/root/dialisdn

Don't forget to chmod +x all files but i4l.conf! Put /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.isdn start in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and copy all the above files to the correct directories.

KDE Screenshots

They are kinda crappy because i made them a bit smaller but what the heck ;)
