You did read the first sentence of my previous post right? Go back and read it again, it will answer your question.
I made no demand, just a comparison. You could be right, comparing Ubuntu...
I always try the latest release of Ubuntu just to see how bad it is compared to the 10.04 release and frankly it has been always been slow, clunky and unstable, with every release worse than the...
Yes and no.
Xubuntu has become my OS of choice on my main machines, but my little eee-pc 701 is running Crunchbang although I am thinking it would be fun to install a minimal Ubuntu and set up my...
Installed Xubuntu 14.04 and (for a while) Ubuntu 14.04 on a few machines. It's been pretty much flawless except I get a couple of system errors when I resume from suspend to ram. If I don't figure...
It might be because it is booting from eufi rather than bios. Most eufi systems have an option to boot in legacy or bios mode, probably somewhere under the advanced tab. I've never had much luck...
I'm afraid my Windows knowledge is nearly as outdated as my fashion sense. The last Windows OS i used was XP! Does Windows 7 come with an installer disk? If so you may be able to boot to recovery...
The best way to get started is to forget about learning a new operating system; instead learn to use it for day to day computing which to be honest is how everyone learnt their way around Windows or...
Using the command
dd if=ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/YOUR_USBBKEY_HERE bs=4M conv=sync worked absolutely fine to create a bootable usb key. I was also able to do the same for Xubuntu. You...
My record is about 1/2 hour for keeping these guys on the line. It could have been longer but I had to go out. I told him "it's been fun yanking your chain but I've got to go out now so I can't play...
I can't argue with that although the Toshiba gets bloody heavy when you're carrying around :)
I use the Nvidia drivers rather than the nouveau drivers and according to nvidia-settings it is...

/proc vs /sys
Currently the following.
Main desktop:
HP (Yes, yes I know and having seen the build quality inside, it's the last HP I buy!)
Quad core Intel Core i5 CPU 650
16GB RAM
1TB Hard drive...
I used to compile from source a lot back in my Slackware days. If you have older hardware, by which I mean very old, then compiling software on your computer can give a reasonable speed boost. The...
When you say it doesn't shut down properly, that could mean many things.
1. Is it actually shutting down, but giving a message at next boot?
2. Do you get to a black screen but the computer...
Midori is worth a look also and if being open source isn't critical then check out Opera.
I can't really help with your Samba issues as I don't use it. I don't use Windows so I prefer NFS. However generally speaking, anything outside of /home/Your_User_Name/ will require root privileges...
You may have encountered this already but just in case, I'll just add that entering your password in a terminal looks like nothing is happening; but it is.
You should be able to regain full control of SysRq by editing the file etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf and changing the line kernel.sysrq = 176 to kernel.sysrq = 1 and then rebooting after saving.
I went with Xubuntu in the end and have it set up pretty much how I like it. (link to screenshot)
There are times I hate my brain because it has just tapped on the shoulder and whispered "we...
Xubuntu 14.04 with kwin as the window manager.

That's a real shame. It's such a big deal for me as I don't think I'll adapt to having a launcher on the left because after so may years, my muscle memory is ingrained to them being on the right...
Never mind. Just found this comment by Mark Shuttleworth which says it's not possible and that it won't be. It's a real shame, I was liking Unity but cannot get used to having the launcher on the...
I prefer to have launcher on the right hand side of wide screen monitors, but I can't find a way to move the Unity launcher. I hope the Googling that I did is wrong when it suggests such a thing is...
I still have and occasionally use my eee-pc 701. Upped the RAM to 2GB and slapped in a 32GB SD card for /home/ storag. It's running #! Linux like a speed daemon and it's been completely reliable so...
