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. ...

If you bought a brand new computer within the past few years, you might have noticed that your
computer shipped with a Serial ATA (SATA) controller instead of the convetional Enhanced IDE (EIDE)
controller. The reason for this is to enhance performance and power management as SATA controllers
and their supported Hard Disk Drives have a higher data transfer speed against their IDE
counterparts. And they are supposed to use lesser amount of power thereby saving you more battery
life in your notebook's battery or UPS as the case may be. If you want to install and run ...

Hi, first of all, a very Happy New Year to everyone. Now for my problem: I use Win XP SP2 on a 2.8
Ghz dualcore P4 processor machine, 1 Gb RAM, 250 Mb HDD. Whenever I boot up, or even when I return
to the bare desktop after having had a number of windows open for a while, my icons on the desktop
are all blank ones, such as the ones you get when there is no program associated with a certain
file. Then, one by one, they begin to get the appearance they should have, but it is a real drag
which takes ages, and the PC is not very responsive while it happens. I seem to remem...

Hi, Last term, I presented my presentation to my supervisor every day with Remote Desktop

in Italy and studied there, you should not need to bring your computer, but you could manage your

I know that Perl is very common for CGI scripts and is used in many web applications. I also know
that Perl can be run from the command-line for basic applications. Anybody ever make desktop
applications in Perl or do most people strictly use Perl for CGI and use C(++) or Visual Basic for
desktop applications. I am curious because I would like to attempt to create a game in Perl and
distribute it. Of course it could only work for people who have Perl installed. Just wondering....

So yesterday I got fed up with using Windows on my desktop PC (I'm used to OSX Tiger on my
iBook) so I said to hell with Microsoft and installed Ubuntu FeistyFawn on my desktop. So, it's
awesome and I love it more than Windows but I see a lot of screenshots on the web with people that
have these neat looking desktop widgets, kind of like the when you put stuff from your Mac Dashboard
on the desktop. Anyways, my question is where do I get all those cool widgets and what are the best

I have been using google desktop for some time now, but am having issues when trying to use a
torrent program. I have been using utorrent, but when downloading some files they stop downloading

Do you know the icon on the quick launch bar which allows you to show the desktop once click on it?
Alternatively, you can right click on the task bar and click on the option 'Show the
Desktop'. My problem is I have accidentally deleted the show desktop icon on the quick launch
bar on the taskbar. Is there a way I can bring it back? I know I can show the desktop by right
clicking and then selecting the option I want. But it is very troublesome for me, I would prefer
just to click once and thats it I am back to the desktop instead of having to right click, move t...

Now that both MSN and google have made public their desktop search tool, although beta, let take a
look at them. Google is the first one to make the idea become true, hands down to google. It is
simple, fast, just as google web search. However, I don't like the idea that intergrating the
desktop search in the web browser. Also GDS takes too much memories, probably one of the reasons is
the intergration to browser. No pdf file searching. No customizing of folder. There are a lot of
room for google to improve. MSN's destop search is as fast, the indexing is the fa...
