I have been scavenging my newly installed Linux OS - PCLinuxOS for a way to get it to start browsing. You know what? this thing has been giving me hellmformsome days now cos no matter what I do, it just wont browse or connect to any local area network.
But now, I have been able to do that without consulting anyone. Well I can only say that I am happy for been able to get it to start working. |

Is your network card recognised by linux ? Did you try the command 'ifconfig'. Otherwise try a live CD like knoppix, there are almost no settings to get this working.

to have Ubuntu installed and a bluetooth USB or built in adapter but once you are set it is really

US Court Rules That Google Must Divulge All Youtube Users' Browsing Habits
yes, *every* user (12) As part of their battle with Google, a US court has ruled that Google must hand over the viewing
habits of every user of YouTube to Viacom. This will include the log-in ID of users, IP addresses
and video-clip details. Whilst the two companies involved are based in the USA, it is believed that
details of users from all over the world will be divulged. Considering that there are over 83
million videos on YouTube and about 500,000 users, I wish the person in charge of sifting through
this information "good luck". Whilst some would call this one of the greatest invasions ....
Help With Linux - Russix

Linux Games
Any linux gamers out there? (0) Hi, are there any linux players out there? I know there are a lot of unique linux games out there,
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....
Network Install Linux On Laptop With No Cd Drive?
(6) I was hoping some linux tech heads here could give me some pointers about installing linux onto a

to the local hdd then finishes setup from there after reboot. Is there an easy switch function to
install any linux distro once you have the files on your hdd? (I have a mapped network drive to my

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....

Linux - Why It Fails As A Desktop Operating System?
(34) Linux is becoming such a craze nowadays that not even a single day passes without one or other
distribution releasing a new version. But why is it failing so miserably in the desktop arena. The
answer lies in three reasons. 1. The plethora of distributions -
Redhat,Debian,Ubuntu,Suse,Gentoo,Knoppix - everbody and his uncle is coming out with new ones. 2.
The lack of backward compatibility - I had Redhat 7.3 running. I upgraded to Redhat 9. Many
applications had to be recompiled. You ask my mom to recompile applications - She will throw out
Linux and take Windows anyday. ....

What Linux Distro Do You Use ?

What Is Mysql's Default Root Password?

Slow Internet Browsing With Brand New Computer
(14) I have a brand new computer running Windows XP 512 MB RAM, Compaq Presario 1.4Ghz Celeron. I am

performance problem occurs on many different sites, so I suspect the problem is on my end -- either
the computer or my internet connection. It often takes several seconds to open up a link. What

don't feel like using the computer any more. I've heard some people say that ....
Proftpd Ftp Server In Linux
how to configure it? (1) Hi, I just installed the ftp server proftpd in my linux machine. I executed it and i can login it
with my user. It redirects me to my /home/myuser. Until here everything ok. My idea was configuring
a ftp server where a predifined user could access only a folder's range with read only
permisions and also a folder with write permisions but not read permisions. I am not sure about the
steps to follow to do this. So i thought that maybe someone in trap is using proftpd and could help
me. So the steps will be: - Create a user with the command useradd/passwd - Modify the ....
