| SuSE Linux 9 - YaST Online Update killed X |

I have a bit of a problem.
I have been using SuSE Linux 9.0 Personal for a while and recently bought a new computer. Before this new computer I had an old modem that Linux wouldn't support. With the new computer, I finally got online with Linux. BTW, I use a duak-boot Windows XP and Linux system. The Windows installation is fairly important.
I launched YaST Online Update (YOU) for the first time and downloaded I think msot of the security updates. I restarted the computer to find that after starting up, when just about to show the KDM logon screen, all I got was a long beep and a restart. After running the YaST Repair Tool from the CD, it now just beeps forever until you switch it off.
My system:
Intel P4 HT 3.0GHz
1.0 GB RAM

| howto create the 'service' command |

I've always sort of liked the 'service' command that comes with redhat, so I created my own:
Create a file (as root) /usr/sbin/service
Code: #!/bin/sh
set -e
/etc/init.d/$1 $2 $3
Done.. :)
Example usage:
Code: service mysql start
service mysql stop
service sshd start
Always one for making completions I did this too, mind this is gentoo aimed a little (the secondary option)
Place this in ~/.bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc (or /etc/bash_completion.d/service for gentoo users)
Code: # a function for the autocompletion of the service command.
_service_fn()
{
# set some local variables
local cur prev
COMPREPLY=()
cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}
prev=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}
#if only one completion or a option is being requested
#then complete against various options
if [ $COMP_CWORD -eq 1 ]; then
COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "$(ls /etc/init.d)" $cur ))
elif [ $COMP_CWORD -eq 2 ]; then
COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "start stop restart pause zap status ineed iuse needsme usesme broken" $cur ))
else
COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -f $cur ))
fi
return 0
}
#setup the completion
complete -F _service_fn service

I have been trying for hours to install dvd:rip ( perl-Video-DVDRip ) without any luck. I found the following information on [/url][url=http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/doc/faq.cipp]http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/doc/faq.cipp
Code: 6.7 Why complains transcode about a missing VIDEO_TS.IFO file?
That's Ok. The corresponding messages are printed by libdvdread if you transcode files on harddisk (which is the default case with dvd::rip). You see something like this:
libdvdread: Couldn't find device name.
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
but these are only (very confusing) warning messages of libdvdread, which naturally can't find any DVD device or VIDEO_TS.IFO file if started from a directory with only VOB files in it. Just ignore these messages, and please don't report this as a bug.
After reading this I became more confused then when I started. This is the error I get after trying to transcode the ripped vob's:
Code: Job 'Transcoding video - title #2, pass 1' failed.
Executed command: mkdir -m 0775 -p '/home/elrond/DvD/StevieRayVaughn/tmp' && cd /home/elrond/DvD/StevieRayVaughn/tmp && dr_exec transcode -H 10 -a 0 -x vob -i /home/elrond/DvD/StevieRayVaughn/vob//002 -w 3504,50 -b 128,0,0 --a52_drc_off -f 24,1 -M 2 -Y 4,2,4,6 -B 1,11,8 -R 1 -y xvid,null -o /dev/null --print_status 20 && echo DVDRIP_SUCCESS
Last output was:

Well, from what I have played around with in the past the only distros that I tested for myself were: RH, Knoppix, Linspire/Lindows, Mandrake, CL, FC. Out of all of these distros I seemed more interested in Mandrake, Knoppix, and RH which I hear now is FC. (AFAIK). So from your opinion and experience, what would be the best for a beginner. Another problem I have had is getting the drivers to work with my hardware. Im sure everyones had this problem :P. I just built a new computer, so hopefully you can lead me in a right direction.
MSI Neo4 Platinum SLi Dual Channel Motherboard
MSI GeForce NX 6600GT SLi
Kingston HyperX 512DDR Dual Channel
Maxtor 7500RPM 160GB
AMD 64 Athlon 2.0GHz (939)
Enermax 550W SLi PSU
Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu LED CPU Cooler
Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse
I truly hope these specs help. :)
