[plug] questions about Mandrake 9.0

[Milan Pospisil]

Hi all; 
           Could I possibly get an advice how to change the resolution of my monitor (using Mandrake 9.0)? Is there an equivalent of Ms Windows:  Start -> Settings ->Control Panel -> Display -> Display properties -> Settings  hiding somewhere in the graphic interface  system, or is the command line the only answer?(I suppose it might be a good answer if one knows how to use it). So far the only thing I managed to figure out would be to reinstall the whole package, which seems to be a bit cumbersome at best.   
 Well, speaking of reinstallig - should it come to it for one reason or another and I want to use my Linux
machine as a server for a Ms Windows box hanging out of it, where the Linux  machine will be doing most of the work ie. surfing the net, sending and receiving mail, downloading stuff etc. while the Windows box will be used for communications with the unfortunate Microserfs who do not have any other means and thus can not  process any data beyond Microsoft platform, which of the following server options do I choose:   Web/FTP
                                                        Mail/Groupware/News
                                                        Database
                                                        Firewall/Router
                                                        DNS/NIS
                                                        Network Computer Server
Currently, not knowing what is it all about I have ticked all of them. It works but how much of it is necessary for a dial up modem connection is at this stage beyond me.

                               Thanks for any help.
                                                                                     Regards:
                                                                                                              Milan Pospisil
