I wasn't implying they were the same thing - just giving what the acronyms stood for.

Free/Libre Open Source Software, Free Open Source Software and Open Source Software. Wikipedia covers this reasonably well here.

Incidentally, the driver you're attempting to load in ndiswrapper - it is an XP driver and not Vista/Win7?

If a native driver is available, I would use it over NDIS. The message is telling you that you don't need ndiswrapper because there is a native driver present. A Windows NDIS driver isn't necessarily...

Partitioning wont do it. Are the CD's scratch free and is the drive clean (especially if you keep it on the floor).

The general consensus of opinion is that the ndis wrapper will not work for this chipset, although some cards have had some success.

Debian has a wiki page for it here...

I take it that Ubuntu didn't support it - that you didn't got straight to ndiswrapper?

Can you post any output from:

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep loadndis

I can't imagine why I'd do it that way around. Install a minimal system (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD) then add what you need. Voila, minimal system.

On any system with limited specification (such as netbooks) where browsing is the primary role (such as netbooks) then browser speed is relevant. You originally asserted that such speed differences...

It was only a year ago, we even had a howto discussing moving Firefox's profile into memory, there is a mention of the issue at OpenSUSE and Arch Linux discussing the sqlite issue and overcoming it.

You're assuming I am not speaking from experience, that this is something I read somewhere?

I'm not sure why you imply I might be misinforming you?

Well aren't you the lucky one.

That's not always true - netbooks such as the Aspire One came with Firefox. It was noticeably slower than Webkit based browsers on SSD with limited memory.

In fact, Firefox 3.x was worse on SSD...

I'm not sure that's so true anymore. Internet based applications are heavily used by most of the people I support, if not the main reason for owning a computer - it makes sense to have a browser that...

You aren't alone, there are a lot of people with sound issues.

I can't believe I'm linking to a docx document but here it is:

I certainly think using conventional bookmarks is less than accessible but once you get used to just typing a name in the address bar, the bookmark appears - I quite like that.

I don't fancy your prediction skills - ignoring user agent strings, http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

While both are good browsers, most places I have worked have had IE and...

ARPANet was, Kind of. Not so much for tests but for network survivability in the event of war but that didn't switch over to TCP/IP until the early eighties.

The Internet isn't a US defence...

The net wasn't a wild west in the beginning though. I remember being at University in the early ninties and being able to type a subject into a search engine (I liked Webcrawler) and you'd get a page...

I'd report it as a bug.

We use CF-29 and they're rock solid. I've knocked one of the top of a aircraft and it survived. Mind you, someone I know lost his temper and threw a blade pin (they're quite heavy) at the screen - it...

You're almost always going to have warnings, for the most part these can be ignored.

The program is launched from a terminal so you will have a warning when you close the terminal as it will also...
