Been using it for a few months, and I'm glad to say that the latest 64-bit release now only crashes Flash player instead of hard-locking the system. It sucks to have to sit and hope that the system...
GNU Octave is an open source numerical analysis tool with near-identical syntax to Matlab. This would serve as a good introduction to the Matlab environment and scripting language, and exists in the...
NVM, I think I had a brain fart. I think what I meant to say was -- set up a static route. I can't remember how to do it off the top of my head (last time was in Windows) so:
man route
I'm by no means an expert (it's been years since I've touched iptables), but it looks like you need to set up forwarding rules between the two virtual interfaces.
Something along the lines of:

Ok. I was able to reproduce the problem when trying to patch my iwlagn drivers to use the aircrack-ng suite.
After installing the patched wireless drivers I wasn't able to load them. While trying...
Usually by Gnome's shutdown, either using the mouse or pressing the power button once + enter.
When 64-bit flash is wigging out, it's usually hold power button for 4 seconds (or unplug and remove...
With a bit of tinkering I've been able to get every printer I've come across to work.
As others have stated, HP is a good option, as driver support is close to the top if not the top.
All the...
Own a couple, but never actually bought one.
1st gen shuffle - was a lucky door prize at a trivia night.

FYI, .deb is the type of file the Debian (hence .deb) package management system (dpkg, apt) uses. These are akin to .dmg files for Mac, or .RPM for Fedora/Mandriva. They contain a pre-built version...
The reason I registered was to voice my disappointment with 11.04 (and Unity, which is starting to feel a lot better in 11.10) but now find myself helping people with technical questions.
I get it...

These are for Windows, but got a good laugh from the site a few days ago:

The Ubuntu installer should be able to do everything you need. I doubt the Windows disk manager will let you resize an active (mounted) partition.
The link in my last post explains it in detail.
Either Alt-F2 or go to a terminal:
gnome-display-properties
That brings up the "Monitor Preferences" window for me (11.04 Classic). You need to be in an X session for this to work.
Set them up as part of the ubuntu install. You will have to resize the existing Windows partition first (back up any important data first). I don't think windows will let you (as it shouldn't)...
Tried Winefish a few years ago, wasn't a fan.
Did my undergrad thesis with Kile, it was OK but didn't suit the GTK themes (its a KDE app).
Currently use Texmaker. I make use of custom commands...
How much do you want to give it? Minimum size I allocate for an OS (usually for VM's) is 20GiB, but 100-200 would be good if you think you can spare it.
Really depends on how much you want to use...
Apologies. I figured it's been acceptable since 2001 (as long as its not used in the literal sense): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Hits_The_Fan :D

Now, why do you suppose that is?

I've never installed inside Windows, so I won't recommend it. It looks like a good idea for those who are running Windows and don't want to mess with it. If you've got a clean Windows installation,...
And from the horses mouth:
Which Should I Choose?
Unless you have specific reasons to choose 32-bit, we recommend 64-bit to utilise the full capacity of your hardware.

Link to article from 2009 (benchmarks from Ubuntu 9.04), where they said that 64 bit was just as stable as 32 bit (2 years ago). Includes some benchmarks. Pay attention to the ogg encoding, almost...
If you do a lot of video encoding you'll want 64-bit. Should be faster.
And you have 8 GiB RAM, so the choice is install 64 bit or a 32 bit PAE kernel to get access to all your memory. A normal 32...
Horsepoop. 64 bit is fine.
32 bit is recommended so that people don't wrongly download the 64-bit version and then wonder why nothing will execute on their 32-bit processor.
