Thanks indeed.

[...]Compulab (maker of the MintBox, Fit-PC, and Tegra-based Trim Slice) promises to deliver rich multimedia and PC-like user experience. Utilite will be available next month in single, dual, and...

Debian has more packages in the official repos. The AUR is awesome....but it is a bit of a crapshoot...kinda like PPAs in Ubuntu. It is a community maintained repository and thus you can run into...

Looks like they ran out of Nvidia 670s and are now installing 680s by default. That would definitely account for a big price spike.

A few excellent (depending on your profession) paid programs that run on Linux include:

Guitar Pro (editor for guitar/bass tablature)
Illumination Software Creator (tool for visually designing...

12.04 with a little Awesome and a bit of conky.

How is protecting their trademark denying you freedom?



You are "free" to remove all shopping lenses from Unity. You are also "free" to use other software centers other than the Ubuntu...

I don't think Revolution OS is dated. It covers the early days of GNU/Linux quite well. It's just Linux has advanced so much since the making of the film. But even if this guy makes a more...

It's a very rare occurrence when using package managers like apt and yum. Now building from source...you run into dependency problems all the time doing that. Just do a search for "dependency hell"...

Some of the older and more popular distros that you may want to familiarize yourself with are OpenSuse, Fedora, Debian, Slackware, Arch, and Gentoo. The installation process for Arch and...

For an alternative to Nautilus, give Marlin a try. It's quite nice. Thunar (file manager for the XFCE desktop) is worth looking at too.

Plenty of good alternatives to Nautilus...Marlin, Dolphin, Thunar, SpaceFM, PCManFM...and there also plenty of good command line file managers as well. For a recommendation though, I quite like...

Unity (my default these days)
Gnome 3
Openbox (my former lover)

Looks like it is using Intel HD 4000 graphics.

Looks like a great machine but kinda pricey. I think I could get better value from System76 or Apple (don't flame me! :D ).

Over the years, I've learned to stick with buying components from companies with good Linux support (HP printers and accesories, Nvidia GPUs) and stay away from those with bad or non-existent...

A few...the ones probably many of you also have...VirtualBox, Steam, Opera, playdeb, etc.

Lubuntu has rescued several really old machines for me. I have 12.04 running on two machines that are a decade old now.

I use Unity as my main desktop, but when I use a non-Unity derivative/distro I always install Cairo Dock. Works great in KDE, XFCE, and even LXDE/openbox. Even as a user that (usually) has no need...

Not sure what you are after...but...

Like openbox distros? Give Crunchbang and Archbang a try.

Like KDE distros? Sabayon and Chakra are worth checking out.

Want a distro that is going its...

If by bloated, you mean the amount of disc space used...then everything is bloated minus server installs and extreme minimalist installs.

If you are need of high performance with proprietary drivers (are you a gamer?), then you really need to go with NVIDIA.

The only full desktop environment you could run on something with so little RAM is maybe LXDE (try Lubuntu out). Or you might have to go with a window manager like Openbox (Crunchbang or Archbang...

Botnet zombies?

If you are in need of constant system monitoring, conky is useful. It's quite nice if you are on a multi-monitor setup as you can dedicate a screen to it. But, in general, conky is not necessary.
