Thank you I'm primarily a Mac user with little x86 experience, when I think x86 I think that every little thing needs a driver. It's good to know that linux is essentially driver free as OS X is.

I have an old HP Presario SR1410NX running Xubuntu 12.04.2 LTS that has only USB 1 ports. I would like to install a PCI (no Express slots) USB 2 card but I don't know if the OS will recognize it or...

Thank you, but the link is 404. Can you repost the link?

Shortly after installing Ubuntu on my iMac (see sig) I lost control of my windows. The Min/Max/Close buttons disappeared, I could not drag windows, and many would open over the top left of the menu...

After installing Maverick KDE on my iMac I installed Ubuntu and then removed Kubuntu. I was setting Ubuntu to my liking including window appearance. After a reboot I no longer have window management...

I installed Ubuntu on my G4 iMac and BOINC was crunching work for SETI, albeit slowly. Then I managed to muck up the system, and wanting to try Kubuntu I decided to start from scratch with a fresh...

@strangesteve The important thing to remember when burning an OS install disc, at least with Ubuntu/Debian & OS X is NOT to mount the image before you burn it, you want to burn the image as is....

Great tip, thank you thegreenblob!

And I didn't even realize we had groups, thank you jarlath!

My name is Tina and I am a Kubuntu user who has learned more about the CL in two weeks with Kubuntu than in nine years of using OS X and I'm loving (almost) every minute of it!


:D

I have not seen anything labeled Control Centre, K→ Settings→ System Settings→ Personal has the Regional & Language settings but it's focus is on layouts, switching options, and options like swapping...

I found a widget that allows me to select minimized windows from the panel, Yay! Still haven't found the ability to switch apps by keyboard shortcut though.

Greetings fellow Dvorakians! I could not agree more that Dvorak is the way to go, it's what I taught myself when I got my first computer (an iMac G3) and to this day I've never learned QWERTY. It's...

When I right-click on the panel I get options to add or remove widgets, add or remove panels, and some options on panel location but there's nothing resembling a "window list."

I tried Alt-Tab and...

I've installed Ubuntu Karmic on my G4 iMac and then switched to KDE. When I minimize a window it doesn't go to the panel as it did in Gnome but rather it seems to disappear into the ether, never to...

Glad to hear you got past the firmware lock. I had a similar problem installing Kubuntu Karmic but Ubuntu Karmic installed just fine. Maybe if you try the other one and if it does work you can change...

Thank you thank you THANK YOU! :D

Actually the Karmic live CD weighs in at about 706MB, you have to strip either the 32 or 64 bit code (whichever you don't need) to get it onto a CD. Or overburn the CD but I don't have any experience...

How do you set the burn speed in terminal?

You are half right. PPC support was dropped by the developers, but it is now supported by the community. I don't know who "the community" is but I sure would like to thank them and buy them a little...

Apple does include some trial software and/or services, but they are all tucked in a folder named "Installers" in the Applications folder, things like Earthlink and Office trials. If you want to try...

That makes perfect sense, I should've asked in the first place. Oh well at least next time I'll know, thank you.

Turns out it's not as simple as just deleting all Gnome/Ubuntu packages, you have to be very selective if you want your computer to remain functional. I wish I could just install Kubuntu to start...

Thanks, I went ahead and installed KDE but I wasn't sure about deleting Gnome. No rush I guess, I'm just test driving them both and waiting to see what Lucid brings.
