This method is using PearPC. I heard about it a while back, the I think the biggest drawback (that I heard) was that it runs very slowly, the speed of a G3 or lower....I don't know if there is any truth in that rumor, though...

Excellent site!

I second mikex's stand. Please remember that this is not G4....

Well, I have only played GW on beta, and the others I haven't even touched. GW beta was ok, not something I was impressed with. I mean, having a system not dominated by experience and seniority is definately original, but not as satifying as the regular level structure of MMORPGs. You have been playing GW for 2 years now, and a guy who just picked up the game and began playing that day just beat the pants off you. Probably seems fun for that guy, but losing feels twice as bad because the guy was new to the game. Catch my point?
There are a lot of other MMORPGs I have played, though, all of them either free or in beta. Unfortunately, whenever I play a free game thats in beta, when they release I can't pay so I can't play

Well, having me explain you won't do you any good--i'm trying the same thing at my house.
However, some time ago a show called "Systm" released an episode on "MythTV". MythTV is a program (that runs on linux) that is basically a free version of Tivo. Although it only runs on Linux, there are many forums of linux that ONLY run the program--they were made specifically for running MythTV. In this episode of systm, they'll show you through the whole process, and hopefully you can apply it at your house...
Or, you can try doing it yourself with hardware and software from AverMedia. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16815116616.
Whichever route you take, good luck!

Yeah, thanks for the link...
Also, mac, regular G5s already run at very hot temperatures. Thats pricisely why we don't have G5 power- and ibooks. We'd burn ourselves
:D :D . -
I belive the View New Post link is exactly what your looking for. When your done and you want to tell the forum you have read all the posts, on the bottom there a small link saying Mark All Posts as Read. That'll mark them all as read, obviously
:D . -
Nice! I want to help to
. I edited a small bit, and lessened the spotlight on BT and spread it out to ASAP. Hope you don't mind

From what I can see, one reason is that linux is free. Open source usually gets people....

The two I, as well as many others, recommend are ZA (which isn't an option for you) and Kerio. I myself have not used Kerio, but from many others I hear it is an excellent, free alternative to ZA.

Well, there aren't that many types of harddrives; after making sure that the harddrive can connect to your computer (most of the time, shouldn't be a problem) you only need to look at 2 different aspects: capacity and RPM speed.
Capacity is, well, capacity, how much storage is available on the harddrive. That aspect is pretty much straightforward, you buy according to your usage.
RPM speed is not a big detail, but still something you should look at (RPM, if you don't know, means revolutions per minute, telling you how fast the hard disk spins. The fast it spins, the faster it is to read and write to the HD). Nowadays 7200 RPM is the standard for desktops, i'd recommend you get at least 7200 RPM. However, Western Digital also offers an almost trademark harddrive called a raptor, goes at approx. 10,000 RPM, reading and writing data at very high speeds. Its quite expensive, and only available in 74GB (if memory serves me right). here's a link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16822144160.
Besides, that, I don't look to much further into harddrives. If your looking for in-depth analysation, i'm not the guy

Be ware, sometimes things a bit tricky with wireless, especially if the computers are a good distance away from the router. You may need to play around with the placement of the computers or place of the router....
-
Hmm....it seems I've heard both sides of the story now
. Thanks TheLetterK, you cleared that up for me.... -
Well, make sure the computer is set to to run off the CD drive before the harddrive, then Knoppix should run...

Also, what is your ISP? Chances are they'll offer you an anti virus. my DSL provider, SBC Yahoo, offers they're own brand of anti-spyware/anti-virus by using EZ antivirus's AV. AOL offers free AV, if i'm not mistake.
If it turns out your ISP doesn't have a free AV, the ones above are awesome.
-
I second that, somewhat
. I'd go for XP over Sempron, XP is a bit cheaper as well....Good luck, though, we're here if you need help for any of the other parts! -
the biggest reason of why apple has kept os x to them selves is to keep good control over the hardware/software interface and in doing this you throw that out the window.
It's because Apple leverages the operating system as a reason to pay for their (moderately) overpriced systems. Apple makes tremendous profit off the sale of hardware in this manner.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
But isn't another reason why prices are so high is because of IBM's charges? People are hoping that when the Intel machines come out they'll be cheaper....

I believe you can use a live version off a USB drive, but for installing on your harddrive i'm not so sure....

Well, for start out, I think I can help a bit
.To start off, linux is actually a kernal of an operating system, and since its open source, people have make different versions of operating systems based on the same linux kernal. These different versions are called distributions, or distros. Probably the hardest decision I had when I began linux was choosing a distro
. There are many out there, but you can look through almost all of them at www.distrowatch.com. Also, I liked (and heard approvals from others who used it) a little quiz found here: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/. It basically asks you different questions and gives you which distro it thinks you should try first based on your answers. Whatever you try, good luck.Unfortunately, to do this at home, you will need a burner to burn the installation CD (at least for more robust OSes). If you have a USB key thats 50MB or bigger, you can try Puppy Linux or DS Linux (both Puppy and DS Linux can boot off a USB drive). Those are just some options for you if you don't have a burner, but unfortunately to really immerse yourself in the linux world you will have to obtain a CD. Try going to a local PC store or to a friends house and ask them to help you!
Whatever you try, good luck! Its a lot of fun...

To answer everyones question:
Don't worry guys, I've been using FF for a long time now, long before it made a formal release. I only use IE for uncompatible websites and windows update.
and TT75, I tried the links, it gave confirmation that it worked, but truthfully, it didn't. I have the installer, but I haven't had time to try reinstalling it, and I want to leave that as my last resort. Any other ideas?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Did you try a repair of IE?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
How would I go about repairing IE? I've never done it, is it accomplished by using the installer?
-
Edit: and why use IE?...worked fine in FF
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
It didn't work on my FF, so I assumed they were still working out the kinks since it was in beta
. -
Sounds good, I'd allocate a bit more for the XP partition than XP takes up, for the reasons I said above....Good luck!
-
Well, yeah 2 top of the range nvidia 6800 ULTRA sli's + dual pci-e motherboard and then w/e chip,... the graphics cards alone will break the bank
Pierce
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
break the bank? Man, they'll blow a hole through the whole wall!

Exactly, unless you plan on doing somethings that will stress the GPU. Whatever it is, since this is an older computer, i suggest you either stick with integrated graphics or get a cheap PCI graphics card. Usually a local computer shop will have some in the bargain bin, or the major retailers may have some on the shelf. If all else fails, you always have the internet (ex. newegg.com, zipzoomfly.com, etc.)
