You could intall an alternative firmware to your Linksys router. I use DD-WRT and know that it has the option to set static dhcp leases - assigning the same ip to the same machine using dhcp.

It means you have 1 primary partition and 1 extended partition; the extended partition contains a logical partition you're using as Linux Swap and it uses the entire extended partition.

Nothing...

Yes, if you'd like you can put every major directory in its own partition: / (root), /var, /opt, /usr, /home, etc.

For most normal installations, you should probably only worry about giving /...

This is the thread I've always used: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737

Why not install DD-WRT on a x86 machine? They have a build specifically for this use.

There are multiple Linux->360 solutions: fuppes, ushare, and the one I use is Twonkymedia. Twonky costs money (about $30), but it's worth it because it offered the easiest solution with good...

There should be no problem installing and running Windows software in a Windows VM.

You can install windows after you install Ubuntu, but it is a lot more work to do it that way. If you think...

All the information that needs to be protected is protected. Think about a bank - do you pass through vault doors to enter the building, or do you just keep all the money in a vault within the...

In my opinion, you'd be doing a disservice to the students of the school by removing all closed source and MS software.

Whether you like it or not, the majority of the business (education,...

I don't think that will work with the Compiz Cube.

To get 4 different wallpapers, just go into the Compiz Setting Manager, choose the "Desktop Cube" plugin and click on the "Appearance" tab. Then...

I don't think you're going to find many (any) audio players that will use extended attributes for organizing music, other than using the id3 tags. I'm assuming you were talking about id3 tags in your...

Here's a HOWTO I wrote: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=694936

Yeah, you're right. Just imagine what the OP may have found out if only they read! The BSA stands for the Business Software Alliance. It's sole focus regarding receiving piracy reports is for...

One of the reasons there are a lot of people that aren't big fans of Automatix is because it was the cause of many problems when users ugraded from one release to the next. I can't remember if it was...

The help function in Virtualbox is very good, and it has extensive entries on networking and bridging. It's how I set up my network bridge. Fire up the help and see what you can work out.

I'm pretty sure AWN isn't part of Ubuntu's installation or repositories. You need find the AWN installation tutorial and follow those instructions.

It includes adding the additional repositories...

Yes, you can install the server edition on your PC. The server edition doesn't come with a GUI installed, but it's easy to add one. You should use the server edition if you want to use your PC as a...

I think you all have too much time on your hands. Go outside! :D

Beryl ended back in Gutsy. Compiz Fusion is the combination of Compiz & Beryl, so it's the successor to Beryl. It is installed by default in Ubuntu 8.04 (and Gutsy, i think).

Are you running...

Well, it's the BSA. That's what they do, so of course they would advertise it.

Same here. I've never seen a pre-built that was cheaper than sourcing components myself. Of course, some of that has to do with having Windows pre-installed and the costs involved with that. If...

That's not true. The only scenario where this would appear to happen is if the hard drive already has bad sectors (and the format will just point that out) or is already dying.

This isn't windows. Linux runs fine without swap if you don't need it.

I have 3 GB of RAM and my swap is hardly ever touched.

Please post the output of this command:
fdisk -l /dev/hda

If you have SATA disks, use "sda" instead of "hda"

The added benefit (or bane if you don't like the old config settings) of "re-using" your /home partition is that any config settings that were stored in the old /home partition will be "brought...
