I've found that if you go into the preferences in Mozilla, you can boost the
minimum font size to 12 or so and then pretty much all the fonts on most
sites will be readable.  I had the same problem and futzed with all kinds of
settings and I got SO tired of resetting the view zoom size every time I
opened the browser.  So finally I set that min. size and it's helped
tremendously.

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to access my win shares as well.
 I might try linneighborhood, I suppose.  My ultimate goal is to be able to
run a linux workstation with whichever gui to do anything I can with
windows. Mandrake 9 made it seem a little more feasable, but still miles to
go.

for the help! 1) on windows you can simply map a drive on a network by right
clicking on My computer and then select Map Network drive...how do you that
on a linux box? You are going to have to setup and use various third party
utilities such as linneighborhood for mapping drivers. 2) I use mozilla on
mylinux box ( and on XP as well but that is irrelevant) an the fonts are
sometimes impossible to read. I tried many changes but I always get to some
pages on the web that are difficult to read...any idea? It is most likely
your default font, and when a webpage say's to use a font you don't have it
defaults to your default. (did that make sense at all?). Go into
preferences,appearances, fonts, and try messing with those options you may
get lucky if you adjust those options :). 3) what is the best way to use
somewindows applications under linux such as office? run wine, Mandrake I
believe has a package for it which should make it fairly easy to get going.
Thanks for the suggestions. I have not been involved with the club yet but I
am following every topic you guys are suggesting on the emails but I have to
admit that most of it goes over my head :) - pascal
