RE: Kmail and Gmail? [ Applications ]

yes it is possible. I've just written an article how to set it. The article is here: [url=http://www.osguides.net/configuring-kmail-mail-client-for-gmail-r39.php]Configuring Kmail mail client for Gmail[/url]

Good luck!

RE: Games in Linux? [ Games ]

Hey,

You can run some emulator of windows applications to have them running on linux. For example you can try with wine: [url=http://winehq.org]http://winehq.org[/url]

You can use this emulator not only for games. You can use it for any other kind applications as well.

Good luck!

Games in Linux? [ Games ]

I'm sorry for the question but I'm not sure if it's possible to run a windows game over Linux?

Waiting for your response.

RE: ifconfig [ Linux ]

you can use the command ifconfig. This will list all interfaces you have and will show you the MAC of the NIC. You should look for HWaddr.

For example ifconfig should show you something like this:
[quote]Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:2E:A7:85:0A
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::20e:2eff:fea7:850a/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1531404 errors:2 dropped:14 overruns:2 frame:0
TX packets:1295165 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:1455680326 (1388.2 Mb) TX bytes:582411761 (555.4 Mb)
Interrupt:17 Base address:0x2000
[/quote]

As you can see from the example the MAC address for this NIC is 00:0E:2E:A7:85:0A.

How to check the MAC? [ Linux ]

Hey how can I check the MAC address of my network card?
