N then it just shows the date.... no info nuthin!
Firefox doesnt open nething.

Well, thats how the client is, unfortunately. Its quite buggy, and doesn't display the welcome message properly. If you get the date displayed, you are logged in. It doesn't have the provision of launching the browser, but if you want, you could create a simple shell script which would start sifyd, login, and launch a browser. Post if you want info on that.
N one last thing... if I login to my account frm
windows n dont logout... then boot to ubuntu... will my net work??[/b]
Yes, if you are using supersify or something. The official win32 client logs you out if you shut down.
And now, about the resolution ... I am not familiar with the GUI tools used by Gnome, but here is a simple way you can try, which involves editing the file I mentioned. As you need super user access to do this, use sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf from a console. Back the file up, first.
Add this line in the section "Monitor"
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "StudioWorks"
Option "DPMS"
VertRefresh 50-60
EndSection

In the section "screen", change DefaultDepth to 16.
About ubuntu, well its one of the better distributions, and perhaps the most popular one currently. I haven't used it though ... but I would recommend sticking with it, too much distro switching can cause a little confusion
😉 Try mandrake or suse, if you have to.
Now how do I go bout fakin the
MAC Add. in Ubuntu.

sudo ifconfig eth0 hw class
Replace eth0 with eth1 for second network card and so on ...
