Fedora 7 is old. No one will try to help you unless you use the most updated version of Fedora ...

The reason? Because Fedora 11 is the most recent version and this version includes updated...

Hiya,

Just curious as to what scripting tool you may use for creating vbscripts.

Just curious...I do most of mine using a text editor, but I'd be willing to check out other resources. Anyone...

I think you guys are forgetting that this is a developers snapshot and that it is open source. People are going to change this many iterations over before it's released. Also, a majority of people...

The only bad part about schools is Macs are firmly entrenched there...and they pretty much give them away to the school. Along with that, Microsoft gives their stuff away on that level too....so...

Red Hat and Novell are both SERVER companies. They don't care about desktop space...calling on them to jump into a market they aren't even involved in just because Windows Vista sucks is short cited...

Boooo on you for not mentioning the ultimate desktop Linux distro, PCLinuxOS.

I migrated blogs from serendipity to wordpress. In doing so, I went from one url schema to another.

jbennet,

It's also the arch it is compiled for. It's compiled i386 which doesn't take advantage of many modern processors. If you look at yoper and PCLinuxOS, both are i686 arch. My boot time...

Well, coming from a person who's used MEPIS since version 2003.06, (me) I'd say that MEPIS getting faster isn't going to help much. It's one of the slower distros I've tried. Yoper, PCLinuxOS,...

Synaptic has been updated in the PCLOS repositories and it now has a much snappier start :D

I need to add registry keys and replace registry keys inside a vbs script...I started one...and it executes fine. However, I want to append "M:\MLS\bin" portion to the end of the existing key...as...

For those of you who use Microsoft products on a daily basis (I'm included in that list...my job uses WinXP daily) Linux might seem silly or stupid. You might think the people that use it are just...

If the tutorial isn't enough...there's a great FAQ here:

Honestly you should try out a LiveCD before you install it to see if you like it. ubuntu has a liveCD you can download and burn to disk.

What application do you use to burn in Windows?

I responded to the distrowatch comments on my blog: http://linux-blog.org/index.php?/archives/197-Debunking-Confusion-in-PCLinuxOS.html

I've heard the guys over at mepislovers.org say a lot of stuff and most of it not nice. As long as you agree with what they say, you'll be fine. The minute you find a point of contention, they'll...

Ubuntu doesn't contain the GCC compiler by default...they seem to think it is too dangerous to include.

Using the command referenced above will take care of you.

You're smoking crack!

Ubuntu wouldn't be the easiest. At least recommend Mint Linux so all the codecs and being able to play DVDs are taken care of for crying out loud. This is a FAMILY PC. ...

I try to use on-disk.com because they give portions of the profit back to the developers :)

I don't think we're talking about speed here...MEPIS is an i386 distro...an unbloated OpenSuse will outperform it.

Not only that, but Mandriva boots in 40 seconds...distrowatch's fastest booting...

Configuring NTP locally is pointless because it will not be able to update from the main pool of time servers which are on the internet.

Really, this is like having a DNS server without the...

Mplayer handles just about anything you throw at it. Depending on what window manager and distro you're running...you will most likely be able to install it with a package manager.

You shoulda chose PCLinuxOS mate.

Every single time someone recommends Ubuntu for new users I want to friggen scream.

Ubuntu IS NOT the best for new users...there is one based on Ubuntu I'd recommend hand and fist over...

The only bad news about this is that they lost over half their developers a few weeks back. That's going to stifle development quite a bit.

I've been investigating the possibility of adding in a VOIP package for my clients and one thing is certain...unless you roll your own with Open Source solutions such as Asterisk, you won't be...

Hey all,

I just inherited an older chipset computer and wanted to know the maximum hard disk size I could install on it. It's in a Dell Dimension 4100...I downloaded the manual but nothing gives....

The easiest way is to remaster it! Try PCLinuxOS at http://pclinuxos.com

The remaster it to your liking and reburn it. http://www.pclinuxonline.com/wiki/RemasterLiveCD

Good luck :D

Give PCLinuxOS a try.

It's organized and many programmers use it already...especially perl hackers (we've got a ton in the developers mailing list). Overall feel, look, and stability is...

If you're running red hat linux 9, you need to upgrade. Red Hat doesn't make Linux for the desktop anymore...you'd have to go to the Fedora Project for that. Red Hat Linux 9 is quite a bit...

You should install it on its own computer. This is mainly for routing traffic on your LAN so I recommend that you do not install it with any other Linux distributions OR Windows...it should be the...

No...you'll need two network cards...one card is for internet and one is for LAN. They're pretty cheap (usually around 20 bucks) so if I were you I'd pick up another network card and go for it :D

I assume you're speaking of actual hardware keys that you're pressing to move the volume up or down. If that is the case, you'll need to give us more information as to what keys you're pressing to...

I have to second f-spot. It's spot on.

You could remaster the PCLinuxOS CD to your liking...since there are about every single window managers in the synaptic repository...you can configure your entire install and then export it into a...

PCLinuxOS is a good LiveCD resource I've recently found based on this thread. I liked it so much that I started a wiki project to support it which has since grown into user manuals that are...

Nope...they're not like Fedora. Yet they are at the same time.

Solaris is Unix. Unix is not linux. Libraries are incompatible...applications must be recompiled across the board.

Also,...

I'd say you're a bit off with wireless. Recent kernel changes and the implementation of ndiswrapper have drastically improved the wireless realm....
