Do i need all the --with and that stuff? because with and without those it still doesnt work...

Myth - "Windows XP requires a high end PC to install and run" Reality - "Windows XP can be installed on surprisingly low system requirements contrary to popular opinion. With the average life cycle of a regular PC being roughly 4-6 years, just about any PC being used today can run Windows XP. The following requirements are Microsoft's "official" minimum system requirements which I have tested to work fine with the exception of only 64 MB of RAM (performance is poor). Increasing your RAM to 128 MB would be the only upgrade I would strongly consider as my absolute minimum Windows XP system requi

nope, everything but gaim

gfire -- xfire for GAIM, i think i found the path /home/fubz/.gaim but there is no plugins folder, and when i do make one it doesnt work, and i have no idea what to do... idk....

I can't find where my programs are installed to... i was using someone linux stuff page and the command line tut said they are usually in usr/bin or bin but they arn't. Im trying to install a plugin for GAIM. Is there a way to find target to it from a shortcut like windows? Or a search function?

hmmm... im gonna mess with the code and see if something in there is linux unfriendly. Well its not the code, must be something else *sigh*

Did everyone use Firefox? Does anyone have any other browsers to test it on?

You could sell your soul.... i've seen those go for a bit...

Well that sucks.... at least its not just me. O well just gonna have to watch the movies the hard way

Ya it worked after the 15th time i tried it i've noticed that with linux, at least for me, i need to do things a few times before it realizes yes i really want it done. lol

I get a black screen with all the console stuff. Its just like xwindows or gnoke or w/e the gui part is called closes and im left with like dos. the shutdown command works... but do i really need to do that? I wish i was just allowed to leave my comp on....

I am clueless on how to turn this thing off now.... I goto system, logout, Shut down. But all that does is bring me to the black screen.... then what... lol. Im a stupid noob.

I need sounds drivers i think... but i dont know where to get them. Like my music plays perfectly fine, but everything else sounds like a whale.... Went to asus and downloaded the soundmax drivers for my mobo, and for the life of me i cant figure this installing thing out. I just dont get it....

Flash doesnt fully work... Only 1 quarter of the picture is displaed in the browser, and there is no sound.... I just downloaded the lastest version and installed it, still a problem. Fixed the sound problem somehow, no idea, but i did. But still im getting a problem with the flash not fully displaying itself. It seems to only be a problem at my site. http://www.fubz.us could someone watch on of the flash movies and tell me if they have the problem too?

ah ok, i wil give it a try if i can find a music CD......

Would llove to test it.... but i have no idea what it is.....

I take pride in breaking my systems on a regular basis. That is how you learn. You can always reinstall. As to learing. I find it is best to start a project that is a little past your skill level. Then you are forced to learn if you want it to succeed. To back up what naraku9333 said, get used to using bash(the command line). Start copying files, looking around using the ls and cd command. Do everything thing possible using the command line, you will find it fun after a while. My main advice: just enjoy the ride(that goes for linux and life in general) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I take prid

Well i dont even know what to do... i get lost >_< and im afraid to break it beyond repair. Im good at that....

Look right under my avatar Ubuntu, and i have a starters guide... and i could use google. But google is not nearly as good as personal opinion. like if i search for a tech forum on google, i would have to go through pages and pages just to find this awsome site

I was gonna watch it but i dont have the cable box down next to my comp, so i will watch a rerun one day....

CD-player - now used for my stero MP3 player - for every second im forced to be around my god awful family.

I've got linux setup so i can do anything windows can. Now what is all the fun learning stuff i can do? Do i just fool around or what? Anyone got some guides, or tuts i should know about? Im ready to learn, i got my music going, my IM ready to take out my frustration on, and some cookies!

There are soo may possibilites for a computer. The best is just to reccoment parts, and/or build it when people ask.

Well i just installed it a few hours ago and im loving it. Its a very new experience. And it does take a good amount to learn, at first your just like... ok now what. Soon you get hold of some basic commands. The thing i found the hardest is the lack of GUI interaction, most of it is all done from command prompt. Or at least from my experince. The overall feel of the OS is great, i love the look and feel of it. It looks nice while not over doing it, and it just plain works. Im not even gonna go back to windows except to load a game...
