Cool. Is that just for Gentoo/BSD? Would it be released too for Ubuntu via apt-get? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It'll probably be rolled into 5.10, but not released for 5.04.

WINE doesn't provide DirectX to OpenGL translation. Cedega does. That's the only difference.

<$2.50/gallon at ~20 miles per gallon.

I can't really help much, since I don't use WinRAR either--7-zip is a better choice.

Ndiswrapper is a bear to work with at times--this is why it's the backup method for getting network cards to work.

Definitely the fake nature show one.

A pile of papers appears in front of you, detailing the lawsuit filed against you.

It'll include just about everything you'll need immediately OOTB, and offer almost everything else within two clicks. There'll be an updater that runs right after installation. Apt-get manages all of your applications (installation, update, and removal), as well as security updates. Shouldn't need any.

A... 2gib HDD for a page disk? Wouldn't this be slower than putting it on the main disk?

yes, no, maybe a little a but don't use it as a guide. all valid answers. Back when P4 was released and starting ramping up clock speed, AMD started their "PR" ratings for AthlonXPs They *said* it was in compraison to a Tbird core Athlon. It was *apparent* they were meant to compare with P4's clock speeds. At this point, P4, PM, Athlon64 perform very differently in any two different tasks. An Athlon64 (and PentiumM for that matter) is a great chip for gaming, a 3500+ will hang around with a 3.8ghz Prescott 2M, or a 3.73ghz P4EE. They're not so good for video ecoding. Throw a nice SSE2 optimi

If you ever need to burn a disc for a system backup, it's a lot easier doing so at 4.7gig a disc than 700 meg with a CD, besides, what is the price difference between DVD Rom and Burner? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You also have to consider the price of the media.

Not at all. The Athlon 64s and Athlon XPs are substantially different.

Getting that particular card working is well beyond your skill level.

Debian can be installed from two floppies and a 'net connection. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How do you do a 'net connection? Remember now that I am a total newbie here <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It depends. How are you getting a net connection now? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a cable connection <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Should handle it automatically then, assuming you use an ethernet connection between the 'modem' and the computer. Well, and assuming your NIC is supported (it probably is).

Unix permissions are different. A superuser called 'root' owns most of the system (this is a good thing, you don't want to run as root--use su or sudo if you need to do something as root). Read the man files on both of these apps (man su and man sudo at a terminal emulator (can be found in Applications>System Tools>Terminal)). Personal stuff should go in your home directory. This will be loced in /home/<username>, or accessable via Places>Home Folder. What kind of themes? Window decorations? You need the appropriate codec or none of the audio players will work. Open terminal

1 gig drive, but no installation must be required. Has to run almost entirely off the key drive.

You'll need to backup your Windows data--you'll be repartitioning. Why would you want to? You can run GAIM which supports all the major IM networks. Any number of ways, what are you trying to do, specifically? That would help tremendously. Download the images you find interesting, and upload them to Imageshack, paste the Imageshack URLs in here.

Wow, I'm glad I don't use Sygate.

Your standard laptop won't work, but there are some that include the hardware needed. This is naturally extraordinarily expensive, and not cost-effective. Your video card should support TV-out then. No need to buy another. A Hauppauge PVR-150 is both a TV capture card and a hardware encoding card. The PVR-250 works well with both Windows and Linux, the PVR-150 doesn't work very well with Linux but supports Windows just fine. You do *not* want a PVR-150-MCE, unless you plan on using Windows Media Center. It sounds complicated because it is. But it's not impossible, and well within the technical

I've got Portable Firefox, Portable Open Office, TightVNC Viewer, and putty-- along with Slax on a second partition. Any other suggestions?
