You'll find most "experts" that the press quotes in computers are probably less qualified than your average university compsci students these days... Go ahead and look at their qualifications, chances are they've got a diploma from DeVry and started their own "consulting firm" from their mother's basement. Basically they say things that they know will get quoted and eaten up by the computing press to get publicity. Like: let's all jump on the bandwagon and give MS an "F" for their new initiative in light of them fixing the hole 6 months ago on a product released two years before "trustworthy computing" even existed. Yeah, that's the ticket!

It's akin to being sent to some drinking rehab placb, then a year later somebody found a video of you drunk a couple years ago, suddenly the rehab isn't working.

Ari: Those symlinks fixed it, sound works in KDE now. Gracias.

And another question for you: How do I run certain programs on startup in Linux? I've downloaded and installed Folding@Home for Linux but it only starts manually right now, and I couldn't really find the proper way to tell it to load on bootup in Linux. I'm told by someone else rc.local usually works, but I don't have one...

I have no idea why, but Debian has no rc.local. See http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-cu...stombootscripts

Sound in Linux is weird.

My sound in GAIM wasn't working at all at first. So I tried configuring it to simply dump all wav files via:

code:
cat %s > /dev/dsp

I'm not sure if artsdsp works the same way as esddsp (I've used the latter but not the former), but I think what you should do if you want to play your sounds with artsdsp is starting the program with the command "artsdsp gaim". The equivalent of the "play" command is "artsplay", I'm inclined to guess.
