So here’s my Mandrake 8.x experience.Įditorial notice: All opinions are those of the author and not necessarily those of įirst, my machine a GeForce2, Celeron 700, SoundBlaster 64, a nice 19″ monitor, hardware modem, nothing fancy, everything linux-compatible. You need to review the way the game plays as well! And people need to start reviewing how the distributions function over a period of time greater than a day or two. To compare, it’s like reviewing the opening cinematic sequence of game. What is this a review of? It’s a review of the installation, and a quick insight into some of the packages found. I’m not annoyed by the style, or the comments, but more at the way they always end far too soon? One of the latest reviews of Lycoris is a prime example. By default, ICQ lets others know that you're online, too, but you can make yourself invisible to others or tell ICQ to accept messages only from users you specify.I keep reading review after review after review of the current crop of linux distributions. ICQ's directory lets you search for registered users by name or e-mail address and the program will tell you whether they're online. By clicking on any user's name, you can send him an instant message that will pop up on his screen, request a chat session, transfer a file or send e-mail. Once you're logged on and ICQ is running, it displays a list of users you've selected.

But you don't have to provide the information, and with the privacy issues that have been raised around the Internet in recent months, you may want to be careful about this. This has been a major part of ICQ's success - it gives users the opportunity to find others with similar interests.

ICQ will also ask questions about your location, occupation and interests, which it uses as part of its extensive directory service. When you install ICQ for the first time, you'll be asked to register with ICQ's chat server, using your e-mail address as an identifier.
