I have been adjusting quite well to the new GUI in 12.4. But i must be remise due mainly to the loss in configuing that is granted with this new ubuntu distribution.
Problem 1. How do i determine...
I was actually going to suggest the same thing. I have apple TV and PS3. I have each device connected two different tv's. But what i do not understand is that if Netflix is internet based and nothing...
This is an ever evolving thread. I've been with Linux since Fedora core 3 came out then i moved to between Suse and Mandraken. I've now resided with Ubuntu. I am very tempted to test Mint but in all...
I'll never understand it. We don't have to upgrade our distro simlpy because the number changed. I look for specific core improvements. I have 9.10 and I truthfully don't plan on upgrading unless I...
I would say when you get bored learn more about your OS. There's always something to learn. And I would hope that most of the linux user enjouy learning especially about linux. Pick your fav program...
I think AntiTrust is worth seeing
Truthfully what i would do first is download the live cd first. Run that in your system and make sure everything is working correctly. Check the graphics, check memory usage, make sure the mouse...
Firefox will remain relevant but if they don't fix that memory leak problem i will most certainly stop using it.
I think when anything enters the mainstream it looses its essence for greater exposure. Its the quality vs. quantity argument. The US machine is more concerned with the amount of widgets it puts out...
That is really a great way to introduce linux to people. And setting it up is really the big issue but do keep in mind that if you had to use third party NVIDIA drivers they will have to be reset...
I understand completely. Maybe if you discuss some of your concerns or frustrations we can help you with them. Im sure each of the members hear have had the same of similar issues or questions that...
What windows suffers from is bloat. There are just so many lines of code and not enough developers going through it before its released so when we get the new shiny OS, we also get a service pack...
I use banshee but I've been hearing great things about songbird. Many insist that its very similar to apples itunes. Last time I used it, it was so buggy. And I could only compile it. I think ill...
I know I've had that a few times. I think all systems are prone to freezing. But with windows and mac os u have to restart the whole system most of the time. In linux u can kill the gui go to command...
I use linux for all my computing needs accept for my teaching software. Im not much of a gamer but i do keep my self entertained with World of Goo, DreamChess and Chromium. I works very well on my...
I agree with some of your points but i will use the bakery analogy to show where i disagree. I must point out that this comparison will always be slighted simply because we look at Linux as a...
Why does every new user make such a big deal about the command line? Once you learn the command line you will realize that it's one of Unix's greatest assets. Windows and the mac gui can get very...
I really enjoyed that video. It put so much into perspective.
Can someone here please further explain this concept of "rooted" or "rooting" the android device. I will mostly likely purchase a Galaxy Vibrant with T-mobile and i would prefer to avoid major issues...
Interesting response but I'm not sure if i agree fully. If innovation is the same as adapting then i guess i can agree. But if not i would say that out of necessity we adapt to our current...
Should it have to compete? Does competition always drive innovation? Within capitalist USA (my country) New York (state) this has become a widely accepted idea. But what i have experienced in the few...
With respect to this topic, i do admit that it seems like an endless debate. But the fact that people do continue to post and share their thoughts shows that its a topic that interest a lot of...
I'm motivated by what i desire most... to understand
I would have to agree as well. I cant even count how many times i had to reinstall linux and windows when i was first starting out. My mistakes made me much stronger. Don't be afraid to poke around....
