Operating Systems

What Operating System Is The Best Games Base ? Just a little Quizzy....

So I've been having some difficulties with my Laptop computer. Not the least significant of
them was this problem of not being able to find the O/S. What to do about it? How does the
computer not find the Operating System? I know that it is in there someplace, I had just
re-installed it, but the BIOS was not able to locate it. On the phone to the Manufacturer's
Help Centre. Explain the problem. Real nice guy. Had the answer right handy. Send me an email right
away. Good thing I had another machine available,huh? On startup, the powering on of the machine
tri...

So what do you think windows long horn is going to be like? its true that there are beta copies out
on the net but i don't want to take a chance. also when it comes out i will wait a while before
geting it. Let others test it and if there are problems with it i stick with my old windows....

I think it would be sweet to have a Google operating system. I searched google for it, and all that
I could find was a bunch of people with the idea for them to make one. I think they'd be able
to make it run all the programs we have already for Windows, Linux, and Mac, and make it a lot
better. They could integrate it with the internet a lot better that other OS's. So, do you
think they should make one, or that they ever will?...

Well The Microsoft Operating system i use is both Windows XP and Vista. and the Linux Operating
System i use is Linux Mint and Knoppix and Ubuntu and Kubuntu...

Wow and I thought this one website was joking around that Microsoft plans to do one more Windows
Operating. I don't know if Windows 7 will be the last one or not but the project goes by the
code name Midori and it is based on the Cloud computing concept, which by the way Dell is trying to
copyright this name for. All I know about cloud computer is that it will be internet based
operating system meaning that buying CD's based software could end. Heck we are already seeing
it in which yo ucan download full license software without hte use of a CD (legally). Rig...

Hey, Just wondering is there a way to modify/change the OS or firmwar on your phone? If this is
possible how risky is it? I'm asking this question about all mobile phone brands....

Hey Does anyone use Mac G5 here? I have a Mac G5 with leopard installed. Ive recently installed
Virtual Pc 7 i followed the instructions. And it told me to insert a disc and then choose the disc
type and click capture disc if it isnt already captured automatically. However it wont work for me
because the option to press capture disc is greyed out. If it doesnt let me click on it then how am
i suppose to load it. And it says any windows is compatible. but if i had service pack 2 would it
matter? I don't know. it doesnt seem to be working. Do you know which operating ...

When it comes to security, which operating system would you think a business would get to keep
everything safe. I know when i get my web design and hosting business going later in my life I will
choose Unix OS. Any busisness or hosting company will choose Unix to base my security on. Most
"Windows Users" will want to use Windows Server. I mean thats an ok OS to start out on but Unix is
basically free and open source and has a better security than Windows does. When i get my own hosing
server set up i will use Unix to base it....

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...

I have a very irregular comic strip that I make, and I want my next strip to be in the spirit of
XKCD's comic "f--- grapefruit", and rate operating systems instead. I'm running a poll
here, based on whether people think an operating system is better than Windows 2000 or not, which
I'm going to use as a benchmark (sea-level point) for rating systems. The rating system is on 3
axes, "usefulness", "reliability", and "security". Basically, for the poll, check which ones you
think are more useful than Windows 2000 on the first poll, which ones are more reliable ...

to be focussed on Operating System Development! I will also use it to showcase my Operating System:
'Magneto'. Don't get surprised it just boots from floppy and displays ...

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. ...

Help! has anyone ever heard of a hard drive deleting a Operating system? I have a old HP that I had
been playing with, trying to fix it up for a friend young son to mess around with. It had no
Operating system in it to start with. I had a old hard drive laying around that had windows 98 in
it which was perfect for the old HP due to memory and being just a 286. Well, I removed the old HD
and put in the one with the 98. Booted up great. even got on the net with it for a bit, then I had
to run out for a bit so I shut it down. When I got back, I turned it back on to instal...

Have you ever looked at a comparison for products of the same type and wanted to find one that was
just right for you, but there were so many options to sort them by that you just couldn't? Or
did you want to make a scoring system for a game, but couldn't think of anything original? I
"specialize" (in oher words, make a hobby) in tinkering with and combining objective rating systems,
making them very obscure but fair nonetheless. If you want an example of my work, try out my Button
Masher game (for which I designed the scoring system), or go view my webhost ...

Hi guys, I would like to transfer files from UNIX machine to Mainframe system (using UNIX machine as
client). The transfer process needs to be secure (i.e. data sent thro network should be encrypted
using 128-bit encryption algorithm). I came to know that SFTP server is not available for Mainframe
systems and hence using SFTP is not an option. Please let me know any other alternatives for the
"Secured File Transfer to Mainframe system". Thanks! ...

Well it i s kind of obvious, but i have gotten many questions from people on here before asking me
what some people ment by OS..and so i explained it to them, and i thought i might be able to explain
it to other people on here OS aka Operating System OS is short for Operating

of the other processes/programs that you put on the computer.. As defines by google it is:

Recently I was customizing a computer for my neighbor's needs. All was going well giving her the
proper amount of RAM and hard drive space and all of the components she would need to run what she
needs to run, and then we got to the Choice of operating system. There's good news, All listed
as Windows Vista. I have never run windows vista before but i heard from a friend it is much more
advanced than Windows XP, so i got on the phone with the tech and asked if it would be possible to
get windows XP on it instead of Vista But i was told that Windows Vista is the ...

if you saw my thread way back about eyeOS, this is way better. YouOS is just like that exept way
better, and it's hosted for you. it's in alpha, but it's great. If you have mozilla it
works best in that it has great AJAX and DHTML, and works really good, but sometimes it freezes up
when loading certain programs. Other then that it's really great you can develop for them,
it's all web based in AJAX. it's easy too. Some apps are an MP3 Player, file uploader,
wallpaper changer, a shell style command line, chat, instant messages, and rich text edit...

Hey, I'm currently running Joomla and PhPBB (through a bridge I found online) I'm really not
satisfied with it though...The login/registration process is very buggy (not technically bugged
since its supposed to work that way) but is very unreliable. I was wondering if anybody could
reccomend a good Forum/Portal or CMS combo I can use to post news/picture files/etc on a main
page/section of the website, and have integrated forums that run smoothly login/registration wise
with a minimum upkeep time. Any input is very valuable, anything is better than what I'm...
