I hate that phrase "works out of the box". There is NO distro that works 100% out of the box. Have you ever tried to install Windows XP or even Vista fresh from a disc? It's ridiculous the amount of...

Thanks for the tip, but I use Arch.
I suppose bloat is different for each person. Having been on the Arch forums for a while now, when a program that installs 20 megabytes vs 10 megabytes is...
I don't remember exactly how I found out about Ubuntu. I know it was around 2006-7 when I decided to give Linux a shot again. I had trouble with openSUSE so I went and looked for a popular Linux...
Bloat in my opinion is having unnecessary packages installed. I don't have or own a scanner and that's installed by default. Essentially it's bloat. Going by your logic, why not install every one of...
Successful troll is successful.
Actually, if people are worried about bloat, install Ubuntu Minimal or another lightweight/minimal distro.
Try df -h instead. It essentially shows it in a readable format for humans. As for graphical, it should be somewhere in the system menu for Ubuntu. Haven't used it for a while, so you may have to dig...
Ubuntu for the most part had given a faulty free system. I did have a good handful of times that Ubuntu froze for no reason at all sometimes. I also ran into the newest version of Ubuntu (9,10) not...
I use rtorrent and Sabnzbd+.
Sorry OP, but frostwire = teh sux.
Never seen that one either. I'll have to check it out.
My suggestion is Ruby Ripper. It's not _as_ good as EAC, but it's fairly accurate and has some decent ripping options. Grip is also half...
I use a combination of Leafpad for really basic stuff, Vim for dinking around with (still learning it) and when I was using KDE, kwrite.
Oh, and nano for config files. It's faster for me than vim,...
Even though this thread is fairly old, I'm still going to give this a shot.
My girlfriend is going to give me a *oh god...something even nerdier* look, but it will be worth it. Tried switching...
My Top 10 (in no particular order):
Goggles Music Manager
Urxvt
Firefox/Chrome/Opera - Either of these
Thunar
SMPlayer
Geany
Python
I don't know about 'best' distro, but I'm currently using Arch Linux. I'm able to fully...and I do mean fully customize the installation. I'm able to choose what's running and what I want installed....
I always keep a handy Super Grub Disk laying around. Works like a charm.
You're able to auto configure grub if Windows overwrites it with a MBR. Plus you can also boot directly into Linux without...
I'm going to throw in my 2 cents since reading this thread has a lot of misinformation thrown around. Some people are correct, but lack a half decent explanation.
Converting mp3 to flac is...
22 (almost 23). I used Ubuntu as a means of getting into Linux in general. Most things just worked (...most mind you. I had a hell of a time with ALSA and my sound card). I've moved on to another...

Fast as hell and super lightweight. I can't find anything better.
I ended up switching completely over to linux. It took almost 3 years, but after the last 6 months, I would only boot into Windows 7 maybe once every 2 weeks. I have several reasons why I switched...
Ubuntu 9.10 Installation not recognizing partition, help!
So I've never run into this problem and I needed some help. I have 3 internal HDD's on my computer. They are as follows:
SDA is split into a 60 gig partition for Windows 7 (ntfs) [primary...
Need a new wireless card - suggestions?
So basically I've gotten my friend into Ubuntu/Linux recently and he had been using a cheap Belkin wireless card. Only problem with the card was that to get the internet to work at all, you had to...
If none of that works, you could always give OSS a shot as well. I've always used it, since it just tends to work much better than ALSA or Pulse for me.
Here's the link for the site:...
The general consensus that I've seen says its a nice improvement. If my computer was working properly right now, I'd be sure to let you know.
I'm very confused on what exactly the OP is trying to do. You want to burn the CD so that you can reinstall the Operating System back to it's original default, but use your ipod to load the image...
I don't remember exactly when I switched over completely to Linux, but it was sometime around last year (probably around the 8.04 release). I had been on/off Linux for a while before that, and...
I have Starcraft installed with WINE and it runs just fine. Have you tried updating the game and making it so that you don't have to use the CD's? Do you have restricted drivers enabled? What...
