  1. I got (apparently) 50 gmail invites and I've got no one to give them to. And you can, too. Now, I know that everyone and their grandma's have a gmail account...but there's no hurt in trying. Here's the rules:

    Post the number of invites you have left, if someone wants an invite they PM someone on the list with the information (current email address, etc), or they can post the info in this thread, and the first person on the list with invites get precedence, there is a 24 hour grace period where the person on top of the list can send out the necesary number of invites, then it's open game.

    Be sure to update your posts with the new number of invites.

    GO!

  2. Hi again,

    Then reboot again, and post a new HijackThis log.

    Thanks.

  3. Hello again,

    It looks like you've given yourself another infection. Lucky for you, this one is easy to get rid of: just go to your Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs and look for Newdotnet and click change/uninstall.

    Next, please download and run spybot: search & destroy and have it fix what it finds UNLESS they relate to a program you actively use (WildTangent for online games, backweb for your logitech desktop messenger, etc).

    Finally, post a new HijackThis log with only the NECESARY programs running (close out of steam, firefox, nokia apps, etc) this will give us less to sift through, and more of a chance to find problems.

    I'm sorry that this is taking so long, but we'll get it yet :P

    Thanks.

  4. yes, but with Fedora (and in most cases SuSE, though i think they've also got a public ftp?) you've gotta shell out the cash. I suggest getting aquainted with knoppix and other liveboots and moving on to something of an intermediate-type level. (I moved on to a stage2 install of gentoo...but that's a different story :P ) But maybe something like Debian, or yes, i suppose Mandrakelinux would be alright.

    After all of the errors with SuSE, I was nearly discouraged from delving any further into the Linux Universe. Though, i suppose, in the end, it also motiviated me to move on to a "real" linux distro.

  5. I suggest an rpm distro like Fedora, Mandrake, or Suse

    I understand that you are naming the easiest distros for a newbie to get along with, but I've tried Mandrake and SuSE 9.1 and here's what I've found out: it doesn't help you transition from Windows, it tries to be just like Windows. I don't even think SuSE came wtih gcc+. And I couldn't install ANYTHING (even using YaST2) because SuSE installs things in odd places so I'd get all kinds of errors (like not having x installed?).

  6. I understand that "installing a program entails a lot more than just placing an .exe file on a drive", and yes, most (not all) programs have at least one registry value. However, the program tends to call the value, not the other way around. Also, you are only moving the folder, not deleting it, so its not like you are uninstalling it, leaving reg keys/values etc stranded.

    Also, jerrys never said anything about wanting to free hdd space.

    Programs I've moved as opposed to reinstalling:

    Quake I

    Quake II

    Unreal Tournament

    Winamp

    Just to name a few.
