After opening the file in vim, run the following command:
:set key=
Then save the file.

There are many providers which offer free shell accounts with a limited amount of disk space. A query of "free shell account" on any search engine should turn up what you're looking for.

Something like http://www.masswerk.at/jsuix/ will offer you a limited number of commands/software. If you want to learn actual Unix though, at the very least download the PuTTY client and get a shell...

Boot off your Windows install disk into the recovery console, then run fixmbr (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsf/p/fixmbr.htm).

Use the -R flag for chmod to make the permissions recursive.

I don't know of any distros offhand that autostart sshd and have a default username and password, but it should be fairly simple to make your own. The FreeBSD docs...

>root(hd0,6)
You need to put a space between 'root' and the parentheses:
root (hd0,6)

Run mount (http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount) with no arguments.

Through the command line?

If you're root, you won't need sudo. If under root you get permission errors, then you have some other issues. Perhaps check how your filesystem(s) are mounted.

So what's in your /etc/apt/sources.list file?

Try installing glibc.

What have you got in the /etc/apt/sources.list file? Have you run 'sudo apt-get update' before trying to install build-essential?

Without knowing the exact error message that you encountered, it's kind of hard to diagnose it. However, if you are having hardware issues with the alternate install CD, chances are that even if a...

Well, is this "your" network? If it is, try disabling encryption to make sure that it is indeed the encryption that's the problem. If it's your company's/school's network, etc. make sure you find out...

Neither of those are emulators. Yum is a package manager for Red Hat based Linux systems (such as Fedora), while Wine...

Or maybe they just aren't interested in an operating system that promises to offer little more than most *nix operating systems have already been offering for years.

>ReactOS for example.
ReactOS is a terrible example. It's got layers upon layers of bugs. First, you've got the ReactOS kernel which was written from scratch, then you've got the Wine layer which...

Nope. The mempat binary is compiled for x86-64, and oddly enough, I can't find the source for it anywhere.

Okay, I did some research on this, and turns out that this is kind of an Acer hardware bug, in which the fan speed is not controlled by the BIOS, but by the software that's supposed to be keeping...

I'd suspect your fan control settings would be in /sys/devices/platform/acer_acpi.

Make sure that your kernel has the necessary modules to detect and control your fan speeds. When I'm running Linux on my MacBook, my fan settings appear in the virtual filesystem /sys:
