ATI Graphics cards.
by Oliver Jones
Hi.
Anyone here use new ATI Radeon graphics cards under Linux? I'm looking
at buying a new mid range graphics card. Ie, either an nVidia 5700
Ultra or ATI Radeon 9600XT. The supplier I'm looking at is out of stock
on the nVidia cards. So I'm considering an ATI.
I've never used an ATI video card. I moved from Voodoo's to nVidia way
back when Quake 3 came out.
In particular I'm interested to know if dual display and TV out works
with ATI video cards under Linux. I'm pretty sure this works with
nVidia boards under Linux.
Anyone here doing things like that on an ATI?
Regards

ATI...
by Oliver Jones
Thanks for all your info guys. I think I've decided to go with an
nVidia 5700 solution even though they arn't as fast as the Radeon 9600XT
series. I've found another supplier who has them in stock.

Jpegs a security risk?
by Oliver Jones
A while back M$ produced a host fix for IE/OE that deems JPEG files a
security risk and stops users from opening or displaying them. Is this
a problem that exists for all attached images or is it just images sent
from Linux mail clients? I only use Evolution for email so I'm not sure
how to works between OE and OE. Anyone else seen this sort of errant
behaviour from OE?

BBQ Postponed
by Jamie Curtis
Hi there,
Due to the unpredictability of the weather out there today, we have
decided that it is best to postpone the Xmas BBQ until a day where we have
a bit more faith in the weather holding up.
So, our revised plan is 6pm, Wednesday 17th. Same deal applies, BYO meat
and drink, some salads, bread and softdrink provided.
Location still at 3 Liston Crescent.
Fingers crossed the weather will be fine !
Hope to see you all there,
Cheers,
Jamie

Audio Recording
by Daniel Lawson
As part of a holiday project, I was going to transfer soem vinyls I have
to CD. Has anyone done anything like this, and have any preferred tools?
Recording the audio isn't really a problem. What I would like some
recommendations on are tools which will remove at least some of the
record hiss. I know I wont get it all, but i should be able to remove a
fair bit.
I'll also need to split the vinyls up into tracks, so a wav editor would
be a good start.
I seem to remember a linux journal article on this recently, so I'm
looking through the archives, but if anyone has any recommendations /
experiences they wish to share, it would be good :)
Thanks,
Daniel
