I just find it rather insulting that there is anything wine is not considered "capable" of doing.

That is the reason that gameguard and similar apps do not work under wine. It is because of the difference in threading for win32 and linux...

A comparison of graphics cards based on the motorvehicle you drive.

ati- drag racer with crappy turning and many missing neccessary features but nice breakneck speed in the benchmarks
intel- what...

yeah so if you want to compact a large amount of data that you will never work with use reiserfs. However if you want performance (memory and cpu considered) and no loss of data if power failure or...

Okay here's the scenario. Family next door is good friends of ours and a nephew of theirs recently convinced them to get a broadband wireless network setup. We currently have one too so I had an...

This points me to consider why don't we have more space on our drives? Why aren't our drives more secure against data loss? Is it just people don't know how to code a proper file system? Perhaps a...

I'm sure there is probably some long winded guide on this with a lot of info but there are so many different methods of accomplishing a compile. I know when you use the install cd or what have you to...

Lets face it everyone knows vista failed horribly and that's why bill gates left the company. Other than that I usually only use xp in virtualbox for testing code out. Main reason I prefer linux is...

I think ubuntu needs some button or method to turn on an "advanced" mode were it installs all the libraries and compilers needed to compile anything. Maybe even have a nice menu for you to go down...

The simplest is lxde and most graphical is enlightenment. Yes some might compare fluxbox to lxde but fluxbox is minimal not simplistic.

Obviously the poster seems a bit discontent with each DE being a bit bland? I think it's about time you found how far the bunny hole goes! Let me recommend you to some current open source projects...

I really don't know anything about such things. However there is a program called "blender" that some people use for drawing 3 dimensional objects and well it might have some useful support for...

I don't get the whole deal about sound apps. I mean there's that pulseaudio/alsa thing going on then you see apps like pidgin which don't want to add sound support. So basically everyone is generally...

Nice work on the launcher. I heard NCSoft is going to be releasing a title called "Aion" which uses a very intricate graphics system using the same engine as crysis which runs alright on wine...

Ubuntu compiles FAM a bit differently than usual and also installs portmap as dependency. Perhaps you should try gamin, xubuntu uses that by default and its rather light weight.

I got the eeepc 900A the 4GB flash version no webcam. I wanted to go with a very minimal desktop perhaps lxpd or jwm and some other light apps. I think using reiserfs and notail option with noatime...

in /boot/grub/menu.lst there is are options after each kernel line such as quiet and splash etc. Just put toram there and if you load that option it will be fully in ram.

I really like using wine but there are some things that are just annoying.

When I install wine and try to click a bash script file (.sh) it gets directed to wine. Problem has something to do with...

I did some poking and found this exerpt in the sims wiki:

"The Sims and all its expansion packs were ported to the Mac by Aspyr Media, Inc..
The Sims was ported to Linux using Transgaming's WineX...

Wow I thought the sims 1 was working already greatly with wine. I also thought sims 2 was close to being playable too by now. Strange I must have viewed some other wine review of it elsewhere. Have...

Try checking this site for a customized ubuntu based kernel to use, it has lot of drivers stripped from it so its minimal for eeepc. http://www.array.org/ubuntu/about.html

Well I used this program called unetbootin to create a bootable usb. The program offers all sorts of distros and different iso to download of each it was really helpful. If you want a very minimal...

ya there is a large group of users disgusted by the ubuntu (gnome) theme that almost completely mimics the mac theme. We get so many apple rejects since linux and mac are both unix based and we all...

I was hoping to start a faq about maximizing laptop uptime through software means and perhaps separately through hardware as well. Anything to reduce power consumption or heat production is a good...

bootloader malware infected through vista, maybe partition editing/imaging, or some other trajedy? What do you think caused it?
