[LUG] Migrating to Linux Pt 2.
Well, my migration to Linux is going fairly well. It's been easier then
I thought it would be, I've installed Firefox, Thunderbird and GAIM
which I was using under Windows so I'm comfortable with them.
I even attempted to try and get my webcam working. This has been fun....
My web cam is a Viewquiet Tech M318B camera which was supplied with an
old Time K6/2 450 PC. The camera works nicely under Windows, ut's a USB
device, and I think I've been fairly lucky to find a driver which works
under a 2.6 kernel, compiles and even works!
Now, I'm wondering, how do I start the module on startup? It seems a
bit long winded to open a terminal, run su and then type in a command
line with options to start the driver.
Anyway, apart from that everything has been a positive expeirience.
Oh, futher to my asking about DVD Shrink, it does work under Wine, but
it doesn't seem to work as well as under Windows. I don't mind dual
booting for now until I find a similar alternative.
