I written so many posts on linux,you may wonder why i m so much behind that operating system.This
time,My plan was to challenge the stability of linux.I asked about linux session crashing concept
over many support forums.and i got very few satisfactoriliy answers. I tried Mepis distribution to
crash the linux Operating system.mepis distro comes up with KDE as default window manager.For
Gnome,ICEWM you have to download the packages from the internet.My plan was to download the Gnome
packages from CDROM in order to install.I know how to install gnome from source using bin...

I have seen so many newbies confused with the linux that where they can search for the linux
equivalent of program?.How to find the free application that can run on OS X. Most of the windows
famous application have alternatives.Though it is pretty obvious that Linux project is not enough
mature .so you can't expect that these applications are muchproductive.There is alternative to
Adobe Photoshop called as GIMP (Gnu image manipulation program).but trust me it is not as good as
Photoshop.Also there is no alternative for Macromedia's Flash.You know that this progra...

Well I have a computer issue that I ran into this week and I spent an good few days trying to figure
it out with some success...I think. Ok this all stared when I would leave my computer to run over
night the internet connection was good, the internet browsers, IM, and my online game that I would
leave running would all be working and connected to the internet. When I wake up in the morning
however, I would find my Game still running and my IM running they would still be connected,
however when I tried to use my internet browser it wouldn't connect to the internet. ...

Post in this topic youre linux knowledge, things that makes linux live easier . SWAP files are
imporant, so if You installed a new Linux system, but forgot to set enough swap space for your
needs, the swap utilities on Linux allow you to make a real file and use it as swap space. QUOTE
The trick is to make a file and then tell the swapon program to use it. Here's how to create,
for example, a 64 megs swap file on your root partition (of course make sure you have at least 64
megs free): dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=65536 This will make a 64 megs (...

Hey. In the vent forum I have been spending some time sharing problems with my windows pc. I have
windows ME, and it used to run great, but it getting worse and worse and worse. I can switch to
Windows 2000 which I have a copy of (never tried it) or re-format and stick with ME (in which case
I'm fairly confident it will slowly over a period of 1-2 years again become unusable. But Linux
I've heard is free and lightweight. Also, consider me not entirely interested in a Mac. They
can be more stable than Windows (though I think XP is fairly equal to a mac in stabili...

well its not a firewall exactly but it will be used as one, my grandad paid £500 for a custom built
computer which will be used as file storage and a firewall. It has 2x250GB harddrives, AMD Athlon
3.2ghz 64bit, 1gb of RAM and the choice of os will be FreeBSD. Graphics will be a bit crap because
me and a mate from school whos really into BSD will be setting it up from the command line. Anyway
Me and my grandad have an IP address each from telewest, we have a router that is plugged into our
modem with 3x100mbps ethernet ports and 2x10mbps ports, 1 100mbps port plugged int...

I was just wondering, cause since windows had been giving me major pi*soff problems, I'm
thinking of switching to linux. I heard that FreeBSD is good for beginners, SuSE too, and so is
Fedora Core. So which one would be the best recommendation for a total linux illiterated user like
myself? /tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /> ...

I use Linux mostly because it is my server forr irc, and I have to interact with it cionstantly so
that I can use diffrent applications on it to help support my website (which by the way is .04mb to
big to install lol) I use Windows also because many applications are made for WIndows and it has an
okay gui. Macs are just used because they have supieror graphics. But they are also used because
most people think that no one has a mac so they are virus free. (Tangent Alert) I got a Dell, 80
gigs, XP Home, and I tried to run defrag, but it said I had to run chkdsk it said th...
