I followed that guide, and well its installed, but i have no idea if its the latest version, i dont even know if i want to even try to get the latest ones installed. I think i need more learning time. I will do more reading there, it seems like a good place. Now if only i could mount my windows HD.... but no it says it cant find it, lol. Probuly because its on a differnt HD huh? Well this has so far been a fun day for me and i sure have learned a lot. I've only broken the OS 3 time so far and managed to fix it all by myself

After a little over 2 hours i finally got my dual view and resoultion stuff down wow google sucks.... thanks for your help

I hope i dont need to install gcc, i downloaded it.... looked at the readme. WTF went though my mind and just closed it... why don't they make these install things easy like windows?

I'm trying to install NVidia drivers onto my Ubunto, but when i install it, it errors out, something to do with kernal version. nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Sun Aug 21 19:20:13 2005 option status: license pre-accepted : false update : false force update : false expert : false uninstall : false driver info : false no precompiled interface: false no ncurses color : false query latest driver ver : false OpenGL header files : true no questions

Nope, didn't work How do i replace the new file with the backup i made? Im using firefox... now... it works, idk. This linux stuff is really hard >_<

Ok edited. Now... it still wont let me change it Also.... why does google stop being my homepage every time i log out?

Rememher i installed Liux like 30 mins ago... sudo?

I found the file i need to edit, but it is read only, but i can't change the permissions, and i never setup a root password so i don't know how to access that.

WOOT I DID IT!!! Thank you all. Now to ask questions, 1. When i went to chose resolutions i could use i pressed enter and it continued... so now i need to find a way to get the higher reses. 2. Is it possible to do dual view with my monitors? 3. i love linux!

You might need to enable it in Options, and/or make sure you have the latest version.

Hardcore mostly. And the occasional good song that just sticks in my head.

George Carlins new book "When will jesus bring the porkchops" has a lot about PC. Its great.

I use google toolbar for spellchecker. it works great! Well... when i actually use it it does.

oh ya definatly, im gonna be asking questions left and right. Get your keyboards ready boys and girls....

Latest update: just for giggles i plugged back my old video card, and the monitor, started it up. Bam it worked. But im runing dual monitors, it seems when i plug in the second, they both go out? Weird.... After a few unpluggins, repluggins, and reboots its all fixed. Now time to install linux. WOOT!

Ok ok, im back, (girlfriend called me ) So the first thing i took out... the video card. Good news, while plugged into onboard video, it works! bad news. My video card better not be dead or im gonna have to rob bestbuy before i die due to lack of entertainment.....

Yup i've tried another one. It still wont go on.

Ok, i got home today after being away for a few days, when i left my computer it was perfectly fine. So i got home, turned it on. Got the boot beep, and everything fired up just fine, the cpu started, all the fans, the HD is going. And i waited for the video to display on the monitor.... nothing... So i figure the cable came loose some how. I adjust it... nothing. So i try to plug it into the onboard video, maybe somehow it siwtched. Nothing... The video card seems to be working fine, nothing is melted, fan still goes. Im totally clueless on what is wrong. Anyone have some ideas?

or small websites and small forums. It just conserves bandwith, thats all. It easily shrinks the 30kb files to a few kbs. Very useful for people on dialup.

Tommorow i will be home on my main PC and i will hook you up with links on how to build your computer, and also on hardware to buy.

it may be overrated, but its simple to use!

Building one is not very hard at all. As long as you have some basic skills with a screw driver, commen sense, and can read a manual you will do fine. And with $1500 you could build an amazing gaming computer.

I should have come here year(s) (don't remember how long it was :-p) ago when i was first told about this place

If your up to building your own you can build a very good one around the price of those systems.

Nothing... at all.... wow. I think im gonna just uninstall everything from windows then and make linux my main OS and just use windows to play games.
