Hey,

So I want to give money to help make desktop linux better. Where should my money go?

I especially want to help with the apps/projects that I use and like the most. These are gnome,...

Has anyone seen Me and You and Everyone We Know? I think gaim is used in it, but I'm not sure. It's a good movie.

how do I play half-life 1?

3 questions:


Privoxy gives me a foreign IP, so when I go to www.google.com it speaks to me in a different language. Can I set a preference for USA IPs?
Is there any way to make it faster? ...

how do I make a menu shortcut for this once I install it?

Thanks! You're a champion.

Full disclosure: I'm not very good at this stuff.

The only thing I can think of is to check your cards' names (eth0, eth1, etc.) against the files the howto told you to make. I know in mine I had...

you need to make sure you install all the headers and development packages. go into synaptic and search for "linux 686", or "linux 386" or whatever your cpu is. and all the gcc stuff too. I'm not...

there's a slightly annoying side effect on some sites where buttons have white text on beige-ish buttons. See screenshots:

question:

in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, the part that says psk="something", is that something supposed to be the password you set on your router, or some wierd long string that that password...

You need to open up the root file browser (see www.ubuntuguide.org), and then go into the directory /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/build/include/config/ and manually delete ieee80211 and ipw2200

I want to make a GIMP template, but I don't like the way the icon in the menu is a thumbnail of an empty image. How do I change the icon to be the same as the system's icon for xcf files?

Amarok is the shiznit! It's faster than iTunes. It supports ogg. Also, I haven't figured out how to make iTunes rescan the library for new/removed files like you can in amaroK. Only thing I like...

Is there a way to get real transperency? The way it works now seems like it just draws the desktop background as the app's background.

I've seen screenshots of amaroK in Windows, but I think that requires some trickiness.

that's pretty cool stuff.

This idea seems wacky to me. If the products are so good, there should be no need for support. Rational choice theory says that eventually the Mozilla people will eventually be tempted to make bad...

So do you feel that Firefox and everyone involved is up to no good?

like a TV commercial? lol. I'd throw some money in for a Superbowl commercial. When's the next time a Superbowl and a major release coincide? (or World Cup, if the ratings are comparable).

or...

I hope "Defiantly" is a mispelling of "Definitely", because that's what I voted for (the affirmative)

I have a DVD+/-RW drive and a regular DVD drive. How do I tell what paths these are in? Through the file browser I see a:

cdrom [this has a shortcut icon next to it]
cdrw
dvd
dvd1

Does this problem exist w/ Athlon64 computers running the i386 install?

Some overheated prose regarding emails to granny. I'm willing to bet that many out there happily use Thunderbird to manage 50+ emails a day; I can imagine myself doing it. But Evolution isn't a...

Evolution should not be removed from the default installation. Many of you are confusing simple email clients with PIMs. I and probably many others require a PIM (and one that works decently with...

I don't know if this has been said yet, but IMHO not including Evolution in the default install is a bad idea, because I for one can't imagine living without a PIM running my life. (This is where...
