Hi. Long time Ubuntu user, but it's been years since I had any issue I couldn't fix myself.

I bought a new HTPC box. The default free ATI graphics driver had trouble outputting 1080p (had some...

I'm buying an external HDD soon. Is there any issue I should keep in mind when buying one in order to avoid compatibility problems? I assume it's a rather safe purchase, but I want to make sure...

I'm still using Feisty as a backup OS. My favorite OS ever, I don't get how stuff that worked a year ago now doesn't.

Gutsy. It promised a lot, and delivered too little. And it came right after Feisty, the best OS release I've ever used.

1) Tenés una placa de video que se banque los efectos gráficos? No hace falta una GRAN placa, pero si tu PC es medio vieja a lo mejor no te alcanza.

2) Si tenés una placa de video compatible,...

Listo, ya compré la NVidia y anda perfecto. Con un poco de suerte, la próxima vez será ATI (o a lo mejor NVidia seguirá el ejemplo de Intel y AMD para liberar sus propios drivers).

Mister X: Yo sé...

Gracias por las recomendaciones! Si ATI no es más fácil de instalar, sigo con Nvidia. A lo mejor dentro de algunos años, cuando me resulte igual de simple que hacer andar la onboard intel de mi...

Nada del otro mundo. Sólo necesito que acelere para compiz, Google Earth, y algún que otro juego, pero la máquina usa exclusivamente Linux así que no la voy a exigir con juegos para Windows (y no me...

Buenas, gente. Tengo una consulta para hacerles. Resulta que se me murió mi querida Nvidia 5200, y tengo que reemplazarla. Estoy básicamente entre dos opciones:

1) Nvidia xfx 6200
2) ATI Radeon...

Buenas! Estoy tratando de configurarle este modem (MT882, dual, no el MT810 alias "alfajor del diablo") a mi abuela. Le armé una máquina dual boot Ubuntu - XP (XP sólo por si se retobaba el modem,...

OF course it wasn't intentional. Still, they said this wouldn't happen (lterally, I got this from a MS support person). It did happen, and I don't care if it's due to malice or sheer idiocy. They...

This is the reason I never even touched my laptop's preinstalled Vista. I'm glad I didn't trust MS.

When you people say "non GPL", are you sure you don't mean "non free (as in speech)" or "closed source"? Because I'm pretty sure stuff like Perl, x.org, Python, PHP, Apache, Firefox and other non-GPL...

Actually, open source also protects people like you and me too. Even if you don't examine your programs yourself, you know that many people do, and that anyone could. And nobody is going to inclued...

As a resource-intensive chat client, SL is cool. It's just a way to socialize (it's also arguably better than text only chatting: it gives you some cues about the other person you can't get from...

No. If I wanted a rolling release I'd use a distro with one.

@Moobert: Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

As for web apps, I might look into them in the near future. What's Python's biggest advantage over PHP for web apps (other than just having...

I'll probably just install the Beta, and upgrade from there. I think there are TONS of cool stuff in Gutsy (new -and bulletproof- Xorg, Compiz Fusion and a usable Gnash player by default, fast user...

I second aysiu, and I want to add backwards compatibility. Without centralized package management, Windows needs to keep it's packages compatible with as many versions of Windows as possible. I'm...

I checked it out, but I'm trying to use Glade for my GUIs, and I'm finding it hard to separate "pure" pyGtk and "Gladeified" pyGtk. Thanks anyway.

I'm trying to learn Python, and having some fun in the process. There are some great resources out there to learn Python, but I haven't been as lucky with GUI toolkits. Is there a good pyGtk tutorial...

I know home users who think doubling their RAM will give them more storage space. For them, "raid" would mean the police breaking into their homes searching for stuff.

BTW, Owning the UNIX copyright != owning the UNIX trademark. Novell doesn't have the latter. What Apple has, beyond the BSD code, is permission to call their OSes Unix, which AFAIK Novell can't do...

AFAIK, Busybox replaces the coreutils, but doesn't include them.

I don't think it's impossible. DeLi Linux uses very few GNU tools. The most important packages can be replaced:

* BASH: Some other shell you like
* coreutils: busybox
* gcc: tcc (Tiny C...
