| | With people writing more source and the ever growing open source community finding free software, and replacement software is getting easier everyday.
A few really good sites to check out are the GNU home page
Gnu.org
a huge hub of opensource projects/software is source forge. TONS OF STUFF.
sourceforge.net
look for FLOSS and FOSS and OSS, these are the open source software people they have lists and projects, they need people.
They even have entire operating systems that are under the GNU licence (So they're completely free!!).
Linux is 100% free. Might want to check out Ubuntu Linux.org They'll even ship you the OS on a CD for free. 100% free. i got mine =o)

Hehehe, I just ordered 20. Anyway, I find the sourceforge website a little messy on the site structure, but the content is fine. I am a fan of free computer stuff, and the GNU are fulfilling my needs. Thanks, --mik

to have Ubuntu installed and a bluetooth USB or built in adapter but once you are set it is really
cool. Kind of off topic but I am messing with my WinTV HVR USB too. I will do another p....

Help With Linux - Russix

Cannot Open Display - Error
(2) I basically have some problems in accessing xWindow applications(SAS and nedit in particular) in the
server. i get "Cannot open display" when i try to access nedit and other applications. I did some
findings on this and thought this might be of some help to you. But I was not able to zero in on
the problem yet. The problem I guess, is the remote not able to enable the display to the server.
The display settings has to be set properly in the remote machine. Commands I tried

Linux Games

but they are too much to try them all (and my drive space is very limited). I'm currently
trying auteria, a nice mmorpg, also available for windows. I like it because it's not as
stupid (personal opinion), as most otherf MMORPG in which everything I do is killing monsters to get
better weapons and higher levels to kill more monsters. Of course you can do the same in Auteria, if
you want... but besides that it's really nice and you can do a lot of other thing....
Best Video Editing Software
(2) Its really distracting seeing people "create" what they think are master pieces on windows movie

of skills, you can download plenty of add-on effects and you can futher mod it if you wish in After
Affects. These versions are one behind in the Adobe range since Adobe released its CS3 Prefix to all
their newly upgraded versions. The new CS3 Prefixed Premiere is now compatibl....
Looking For Developers To Help With A Forum Software

Just a little back ground on the software. It was started back in 2005, and has been sold 2 times,
the second time which was a few months ago the owner abandoned the project and left it to die.
(which it did) Now under the Licensen it says that you are aloud to make a forked version of the
software, and once you have changed over 50% you may remove all refrence of the orginal script. So
that is what I'm planing on doing. I arleady have one delveloper who was one of the or....

If Mac Osx Is Best With Hardware, Where Does Linux Lie?
(5) Here's a good question: Is Linux better at utilizing hardware efficiently to produce optimal
performance out of your components. I hear a lot about Mac OSX being so much better with Intel
processors and yada yada, but I don't know if this is true or if a bunch of Mac elitists said a
bunch of crap and ran with it. I don't think there are actual comparable benchmarks, but if
there are, where does Linux lie in the hardware efficiency race? (Or is it dependent on which Linux
distribution it is, like how XP still beats Vista in performance?)....
What Made You Switch To Linux?
(20) I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ....
Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative
linux operating system (46) About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....

Cs: Source Vs Cs 1.6

Counter Strike Source. I made the switch a couple of months ago and I now enjoy Source much more
than 1.6. But the community generally disagree, if this is because they havnt tryed it and gotten
used to it or if they just hate it. I think that source just needs a bit ajusting and such, and
maybe have an include way of turning down the graphics so people with average pc's dont get fps
