How do I swith operating systems on my laptop?
Q. My friend gave me an Ubuntu/Linux laptop but on the side of it it says Windows Vista. Does that mean It used to be Windows and if so how can I change it back. Please help, I really hate using Linux, it's a piece of trash.

A. Linux is great if you know what you are doing, and it isn't hard to figure out. If you must, though, then there are two possibilities for getting Windows back on it.

1. Ask if it is dual partitioned. If it is, then when you turn it on, when it is still in the BIOS it will give you an option briefly for which system to load. Select Windows and you will load up no problem.

2. If it not dual partitioned you will have to use a Windows OS disk. Those can be about $100+ unless your friend has one.

If you don't like Ubuntu you can try Linux Mint or some other nice operating system for free. Different versions of Linux run different and you might like another version better. You could also Google "free non linux OS" or something of the sort.


If you post your main problem with Ubuntu under additional details, I will recommend something further.

Networking - Ubnuntu Linux. Trying to connect another computer to my Linux to use its internet connection?
Q. I am trying to connect another laptop to my linux laptop while its connected to the internet. I want to make a network on my Ubuntu Linux laptop. How?

A. I'm assuming your laptop with the Internet connection is connected with WiFi and the other laptop is hardwired to it with ethernet. You didn't specify a network setup, so this could be totally wrong.

You need to set up NAT on the computer with the Internet connection. Once you have that set up, you should configure the two ethernet interfaces (one on each laptop, they're connected to each other w/ a crossover cable) with IP addresses from a private IP range. You could use something such as 172.16.1.1 (laptop w/ Internet) and 172.16.1.2 (laptop w/o Internet). Then on the laptop w/o Internet, specify it's default gateway as 172.16.1.1.

Don't forget to turn on packet forwarding, this is a common problem that people have and can't seem to figure out:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

This howto explains the process.

How do you install tar.gz files in Tiny Core Linux?

Q. I am an experienced linux user and i know how to install tar.gz in other linux distributions such as ubuntu. I want to install some software that is in tar.gz format on tiny core, but I cant find a guide online. All I found is how to make extensions on tiny core wiki, but I just want to install it on my system, not make an extension for the app browser. How do I install tar.gz in Tiny Core?

A. Tar xzf pathtofile
Cd pathtofile
less README

What is the lighest(resources"Ram,Cpu" not OS size) linux distro while still having great performance?
Q. I am aiming towards Lubuntu because of being light on resources and fast computing and has a nice interface.
I am open for suggestions about light(resources) linux distro but not in favor of losing performance since performance is my top priority.

A. Lubuntu is good choice. There are even lighter distro like Siltaz, Tiny Core, Puppy, etc You don't need something like that unless you have a system 9 years old or more. I got a regular Ubuntu 10.10 to work nice on a P4 with 512 MB of ram after uninstalling a bunch of unneeded stuff like Compiz and bluetooth.

how do i build a computer with 2 small processors?
Q. i have bought a lot of old school computers. i would like to rebuild them and give them to less fortunate children for home use they presently have next to no hard drive so when i replace the 500mb hard drives with 20gb i will need more power from the tiny processors so i figured i would see if i could run with 2
some of these motherboards appear to have 2 places. is it possible to transplant? how?

A. Nice gesture petes mom! Don't get discouraged yet! However there are a few more problems, than just trying to install two processors for power.
(You can't. Don't try it. Motherboards that have two processors are for server computers anyway. Slower than heck, compared to the same processor speed in a single processor computer. They check and recheck the data before it is used. Dual core technology is a whole different 'game', and I'm not referring to this.)

So you got the 20GB units to work? Went past the harddrive limitation size on these old computers? http://www.dewassoc.com/kbase/hard_drives/hard_drive_size_barriers.htm

Next up is the O/S. Unless you have a Windows installation disk, for each and every computer. You could use a 'mirror image' of each Windows O/S on every harddrive, and transfer it to the 20GB ones.
http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm Free software
Windows license states, "One genuine copy per One computer".
I hope these aren't Win95! lol! Win98? Ummmm, hmmmm,wellll,
Whatever!
When Windows is installed on a computer,(Activation, not Register.), it assigns 'codecs', to three major components,
1.Processor
2.Harddrive
3.Motherboard,(More specifically the BIOS program, on the BIOS chip, on the motherboard)
Change any two of these hardware components, and Windows wants to be re-activated. Sometimes just changing the harddrive, or processor does it.

Did you know that the Linux O/S uses less processor, and ram resources? Did you know the way the kernel is built, that it's virtually spyware/virus, etc., free? Did you know that 98% of Linux distro's,(Distributions), are FREE, and you can download them off the 'net?
Do you know that with installing Wine,(Free), Linux O/S'es can play Windows based games? Do you know that there are 1000's of free applications and programs for Linux? There is a free Office program,(OpenOffice.org), that looks very similar to MS Office, can run MS Office based documents, etc., plus anything composed in this program can be run on a MS Office based computer? (Doesn't lose files either!)
1.http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
2.http://www.linux.com/articles/60208 (I love it! They have a Cyber Defender Anti-Spyware advertisement, on here! lol! Apparently they've never read the ARTICLE!)
3.http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/iso (I have downloaded 3 distro's of Ubuntu this way. Takes about 1hr and 45 minutes using a medium speed DSL connection. I always follow the directions implicitly, and have found that Infra Recorder, is WAY better than any version of Nero that I've had! (It's free also!)

5.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qyFwZeC-DQ
6.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSGf9pFupjg

Edit: It's because they are Server motherboards. Like this,
http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/item/15184
(By the way, scroll down to mid-page on the next link. They start with Intel Celeron's for Socket 370. They have Pentium III's also. Check the price. I know it's good stuff, because I have bought two motherboard's from them. One was a medium speed gamer board. They go FAST! lol!)
http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/category/CPU000)

Depends on the age of the dual processor server board, but some of the old ones also needed voltage regulators. These are plug in modules, and there is one per processor.

(Need sum help? Email me with your questions. My background? I started, around the time Windows 3.1 was the 'hot' thing. Also click on my avatar.)

Edit 2: What I meant about the top paragraph above in parentheses, is that if it were a Single processor socket motherboard, you can't install two processors. With a Dual processor socket motherboard, of course you can!
Your added comments, came after I posted this.

How to enter password by linux command?

Q. As the title.I would like to find out How to enter password by linux command?

eg: when you write a script to sudo root. then you will be asked to enter password.
how can i do it by linux script? Is there a command can do the job?
Thanks in advance.

A. Don't. just run sudo script instead of trying to put sudo into the script.

What does it mean for windows users if basic knowledge of linux commands are required?
Q. For example FTP and Telnet both run Linux. So that would indicate that some basic konwledge of Linux commands is necessary. However, I am a Windows user...

A. FTP can run on Linux, but it doesn't always run on Linux.

You can run an FTP server on Windows and an FTP client on Windows. Same for Mac.

It is just a File Transfer Protocol. The protocol is cross-platform, not Linux-specific.

Is there a way to reset the stats for the Linux command df?
Q. For a while now whenever I use the command df in Linux it shows that one of my partitions is full but if I use the du -ac command it shows that I am using only 4.2 of 7.8 Gigs of storage. Is there a way to reset the stats for the Linux command df?

A. Df and du do not measure the same exact things. You can google for: df VS du and see a lot of explanations.

Can I run Vindictus on linux through steam?

Q. Hello, I use ubuntu and since steam can run on linux i was wondering if i can play Vindictus through steam on my laptop.

A. No, looks like it uses HackSheild, which freaks out in a WINE envirment

Always check appbd.winehq.org in the future for these types of questions.

"What works
Installation. $ winetricks ie6 corefonts for 64 bit users, WINEARCH=win32 is necessary to install ie6. ie8 was tested, but didn't work.

What does not
Starting the game. It crashes on startup due to HackShield."

How can I play steam games on my Mac?
Q. I have Boot Camp with the steam games, but i want to know if i can somehow play them while running OS X. I have the newest version 10.5.7 if that helps anything. I have Parallels and Vmware Fusion but they suck at playing games. Please Help ( If you don't know what steam games are they are just normal PC games that are easier to keep up with.)

A. You probably want to look at CrossOver Games, a WINE-based system that allows you to play Windows games on Linux or Mac computers without purchasing a copy of Windows. COG is around $40.

See: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/

Another option would be to purchase and install a copy of Windows under Boot Camp, assuming you're running OS X 10.5 ("Leopard") or higher. You'd have to reboot your Mac into Windows. Downsides: You will have to re-partition your hard drive, making room for Windows, and of course, you also have to purchase a copy of Windows. Upsides: Since you're actually running Windows, any game you install/run should operate no differently than if you were playing it on a non-Mac Windows PC.

One more approach would be to try a virtual PC solution such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion. See the websites for these products to see what their capabilities are, and how likely they are to run your games.

http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
http://www.parallels.com/

With Parallels or VMWare Fusion, you'll need to purchase the application, plus a copy of Windows.

How to get diner dash to play linux?
Q. Have linux on my computer i want to play diner dash... i have tried wine and all that crap currently wine wont open anything so i am very unhappy. i have also tried virtual box i am on linux 10.4 and stupid virtual box will not install windows it gets half way and stops.

How to make Minecraft run faster on LinuxIUbuntu?

Q. I have the latest version of Minecraft and a Linux Ubuntu computer with 3.7GB of RAM and a 2.4ghz processor. When I had Windows 7 on my same computer everything ran fine but now I'm running at 1-2 fps on tiny with minimal setting. Any ideas what I should do?

A. I get much better performance on linux that Windows. Your problem is probably a video driver problem, or the lack thereof. If you are using a vesa or other generic driver, minecraft will not perform well.

How to add Commands on Minecraft server?
Q. I just made a Minecraft server via linux, can somebody walk me through step by step how to add commands? Also, how to whitelist and black list, also, how to create user groups? Thanks!

A. You need to give a little bit more detail, we need to know if you are using Craftbukkit, or just a regular server, as installing mods that give commands on Craftbukkit servers is WAAY easier, since you just add the jar file into a plugins folder, but on a regular server, each mod's installation varies and it can be complicated.

For white listing, go to the server properties file, then set whitelist to 'true' and then go to the whitelist file and add the usernames of those on the whitlist. A blacklist is not needed as anyone not on the whitelist will not be able to get in, or you can just use the /ban or /banip command that comes as standard.

How do I install bukkit on my minecraft server for linux ubuntu?
Q. I own a complete character based linux server that I want to become bukkit. How do I set it up so that I can make it a bukkit server?

A. You download the bukkit server jar file, you plop it into your minecraft server directory, and you execute it.

How can I get Simply Accounting to work on a Samba enabled Linux file server?

Q. Simply Accounting states that for multi-user mode, all machines that use the Simply (client and server) must be using the same operating system. How can I use Windows workstations that run the Simply client with a Samba enabled Linux file server that houses the Simply database?

A. You can't. You need the same platform accross the network

What is the difference between "./" and "../" regarding LINUX file structure?
Q. Can you suggest a good material(s) (an e-book for an example) to learn and understand about the Linux file and directory structure??

A. ./ is your current directory. So if your running a program from the current directory you type ./<program>
../ is the previous directory. This is to back out of the current directory.

what is your insight about Linux file system?
Q. what can you say about linux file system compared to windows'?

A. You should say Linux Filesystem because there isn't a official one
The most common filesystems are ext2 (older), reiserfs(old), ext3(latest)
If you are refering to the directory structure the way Linux stores files then you can compare them
In Windows the root directory is C:\
In UNIX/Linux the root directory is \
In Windows the storage component are devices and accessible to a directory structure
In UNIX to open storage device you have to mount them to a destination before opening them
In terms of fragmentation it is lower because ext3 does not write to disk immediately but throws the data into journal back up
Then calculate the most optimal allocation before writing to final destination

Where is the offical site to download linux?

Q. How do I know which is the best place to download Linux? How do I know that the site I download form is a offical site of Linux?

A. There is no "official" linux.

There are many different distributions or 'flavors' of linux. some are easier to learn than others. some are on CD some on 2 or more.

When I was interested in Linux I went to www.linuxiso.org

That site has downloads for 15 or 20 distributions of linux and links you to the official download site for that particular distro. I would recommend going there first.

Before you download and install any distribution make sure that all your hardware and software is compatible and download ALL the necessary drivers before you make the big switch to linux or you will be in a world of hurt trying to find these drivers after the face, especially if the driver you are looking for is for your video, keyboard, or internet.

Linux can be good to learn and has advantages over windows XP and possibly over Vista as well such as security, lack of viruses, and stability.

How do you download Linux to a Windows XP PC without downloading Windows 7?
Q. I need to download Linux so i can get a software on my PC called Rosegarden which only runs on Linux..i know of some ways to download Linux but you need to have Windows 7 which i do not but i really need Rosegarden and i cannot buy windows 7..any help? thankss :)

A. Uh? Why the heck would you need windows 7 to use Linux? It's a FREE Operating system, who ever says you need windows 7 is full of bull. Download a distro (ubuntu is likely best for a beginner) bear in mind, Linux is NOTHING like windows and you may find yourself frustrated and lost.
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/
knock yourself out, but remeber it's not easy. burn to a dvd and then just run it at start up.

how do i download linux to a blank computer?
Q. i have a computer with no operating system on it. It's pretty useless right now so i want to put linux on it since its free. All the sites aren't helping.

I just need to know where i can download linux to a disk and pop it into my blank computer and have it start installing on to it.

A. ok, well to me it seems liek you know nothing about linux. except its free and lots of people say "go with linux its great"

it is great, but only if you know how to use it. it seems you just want a free operating system. Because you want just a new operating system to run i would recommend Linspire, it is what used to be known as "Lindows" although linspire costs something, they do have a free version called "Freespire" it is VERY easy to use it was my first linux distro ( now i am into slackware [Wolvix])

most people will says screw that! learn how to use linux, you can.... but you probably wont, you will probably get bored of it because you just dont know how to use it.

ubuntu is great, mepis is great red hat is great, their are plenty of great ones out there... but its kinda a "to each his own" typa thing if you want a free operating system that is easy to use and you dont have to learn commands just to install a program i would go with Freespire, it is a lot like windows, just faster, safer, and ..not windows.

it has all kinds of free software and windows emulators built it, it is easy to find new software with "click and run" service.

Heres where you can download that: http://www.freespire.org/

also if you do want to learn how to use linux but still be able to use the computer you can do that with this distro as well its still linux

Do you think a Unix or Linux Administrator can get a job almost anywhere in the world easily?

Q. Let's say a person from America go to Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, or whatever. Do you think it would be easy to get a job since they have Linux Administration experience?

A. if you have the Linux qualifications then yes you will get a job any where in the world,
Linux runs the Internet,
Linux runs 455 of the worlds fastest top 500 HPC (High Powered Computers) Microsoft have 1 HPC in the bottom 45 (their own system)

Why is Linux the operating system of choice for so many electronic gadgets?
Q. i need to know why Linux is the operating system of choice for so many electronic gadgets?

A. DavoJo has a good answer, but I'm going to go a little further and mention that embedded developers have the freedom to easily compile in only the features they need, which results is a fast-booting, bloat-free, lean operating system that is still as feature-rich as they desire.

Adding drivers for specialized hardware is easier than with other systems (Greg Kroah-Hartman and his team of volunteers will even write the drivers for you if you just provide specs), so hardware compatibility is a non-issue. With the abundance of Unix and portable C software available, software compatibility is also good.

Finally, Linux is free and easy to license, as long as you don't blatantly violate the GPL. (As of now, Linux is still licensed under version 2 of the GPL, so you still have a good number of options as far as how you use it and what you use it with.)

how can i get embedded linux?
Q. how and what to i need to create an embedded linux solution and what kind of thigns can i do with it?

A. hm well that is not an easy one, u can do a lot with embedded linux, as a matter of fact, nowadays it is included in many devices, but there are different eeproms with linux embedded, it is mostly build upon busybox which is actually just a small bash with minimal programs, but u can build upon it a good place to start looking are the wiki pages

Trying to remember the names of really old computer games?
Q. This is a really long shot, but I'm trying to remember the names of a couple computer games I used to play. One of them must have been around 1990, and it was this sort of maze, and you were a little truck and you pushed blocks around. Does this ring any bells for anybody? I believe it ran on a very old version of Windows.

The second game is a Linux game. You were this little guy and you had to climb up and down ladders, trying to get all the diamonds, which were points. You had a bunch of other little guys who were chasing you -- it was sort of like Pac-man. I remember at the end, you climbed up a tall ladder to the top of the screen to advance to the next level..

I played these so long ago that that's all I can remember about them, but I've been straining for weeks trying to remember their names. Anybody have any idea?

A. Nope. But don't worry about it. One day when your doing something, it'll randomly come into your head. Works every time.

How can i unzip and rename the output a zip file using Linux CLI?

Q. my problem is that the files inside the zip have a windows non unicode titles so after i "unzip" ,linux fails to write them to the Hdd because of their kwirky names ,so is there a way to unzip and rename the output immidiatly?

A. Unzip seems to be flawed in this capability.

Although I know of no way to change file filename on extraction, you could try these options:

-p extract files to pipe (stdout). Nothing but the file data is
sent to stdout, and the files are always extracted in binary
format, just as they are stored (no conversions).

-a convert text files. Ordinarily all files are extracted exactly
as they are stored (as ``binary`` files). The -a option causes
files identified by zip as text files (those with the `t` label
in zipinfo listings, rather than `b`) to be automatically
extracted as such, converting line endings, end-of-file charac-
ters and the character set itself as necessary. (For example,
Unix files use line feeds (LFs) for end-of-line (EOL) and have
no end-of-file (EOF) marker; Macintoshes use carriage returns
(CRs) for EOLs; and most PC operating systems use CR+LF for EOLs
and control-Z for EOF. In addition, IBM mainframes and the
Michigan Terminal System use EBCDIC rather than the more common
ASCII character set, and NT supports Unicode.) Note that zip`s
identification of text files is by no means perfect; some
``text`` files may actually be binary and vice versa. unzip
therefore prints ``[text]`` or ``[binary]`` as a visual check
for each file it extracts when using the -a option. The -aa
option forces all files to be extracted as text, regardless of
the supposed file type.

-b [general] treat all files as binary (no text conversions). This
is a shortcut for ---a.

-b [Tandem] force the creation files with filecode type 180 (`C`)
when extracting Zip entries marked as "text". (On Tandem, -a is
enabled by default, see above).

-b [VMS] auto-convert binary files (see -a above) to fixed-length,
512-byte record format. Doubling the option (-bb) forces all
files to be extracted in this format. When extracting to stan-
dard output (-c or -p option in effect), the default conversion
of text record delimiters is disabled for binary (-b) resp. all
(-bb) files.

If you know the encoding format of the files inside the archive, read the whiteboard section of this post for a possible clue:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/unzip/+spec/unzip-detect-filename-encoding

It might be easier to extract them and rename on a windows machine.

Are there any free programs to unzip compressed files?
Q. I used win zip for the free trial and it worked well, I liked it. But now my free trial is over and I'm without a program to unzip compressed files. Normally this isn't a big deal, but I need to download GIMP brushes or fonts to do photo manipulations. Anyone know of a good program to use for this purpose? It needs to be free all the time. I could use a free trial again for now but I'd really like to have a "free all the time" program for this. Thanks!

A. 7Zip is free always. But it only works on Microsoft's Winduhs, if I recall correctly.

If you are running Linux, gzip is already present. Plus, the file managers already know how to zip and unzip, so no addons are required.

How to run a makefile in windows?
Q. I know at school we run it on linux but i have windows on my laptop and im using visual studios 2010 for C++ (express) - can someone please explain what i need to download/do to run makefiles?

A. I don't believe that Visual Studio has any facility for handling a "makefile".

What you can do is download the MinGW C++ compiler.

http://www.mingw.org

Unzip the download into a known location, such as "C:\mingw" on XP, or
"C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\MinGW" on Windows 7.

Calling that {mingw} to represent whichever case you have:

Set your PATH to include {mingw}\bin and {mingw}\msys\1.0\bin.

The MinGW package includes not only a C++ compiler, but a Bash shell script, awk, sed, grep, and a slew of other UNIX commands that will run on the Windows machine. For your interest, it happens to also include the "make" command, which will process your "makefile".

It might end up running the MinGW compiler against your C++ code, when you might have wanted it to use the Visual Studio compiler, but you can cross that bridge when you come to it.

BackTrack Linux Not Reading Files in Mounted Drive?

Q. I am running BackTrack R2. I recently bought a 1TB Western Digital Passport External Portable HDD. I copied all my stuff into it. It worked fine for 2-3 days.

Now when i connect it to my Laptop, it opens the explorer showing only one folder "System Volume Information". I checked the properties; it still shows that only 500 GB(approx) is free. In terminal, the "ls" command shows that all my files are there. I already tried CTRL-H in the explorer, so hidden files is not an issue. I connected the HDD to a Windows Box and i am able to see all my files properly.

What should i do (besides switching to Windows?? Thanking in Anticipation.

Backtrack is to advanced for a new linux user.
I think I have answered you before

How do you install Backtrack 3 to a hard drive without wiping the data?
Q. I have Windows Vista and Ubuntu already as boot options and I want to add Backtrack 3 as another boot option. I already have the iso downloaded. I've searched around but all the tutorials I have read don't tell me how to boot into the 3rd option (VESA/KDE) or their instructions would wipe my hard drive.Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

A. hmmm.... try to install it under a new partition behind windows using windows free space.

2. sometimes grub acts bad and don't want to let you run windows after this so to fix this problem run ubuntu live cd and follow this tutorial. it should fix. the problem with your grub menu list. here is a video on how to do it the grub fix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtBBl6HvdpM&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fuser%2FNixiePixel&feature=player_profilepage

3. this should work remember to rate. i would like to know if it works still it work for me in the past with fedora, win, ubuntu. note:::::

The best way to install any three OS would be Windows first, some linux distro, then ubuntu. (they do a great job grub)

4. if your scared to do it this way try a virtual machine

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ you can run it inside of windows.

Good luck remember to rate.

Where is the offical site to download linux?

Q. How do I know which is the best place to download Linux? How do I know that the site I download form is a offical site of Linux?

A. There is no "official" linux.

There are many different distributions or 'flavors' of linux. some are easier to learn than others. some are on CD some on 2 or more.

When I was interested in Linux I went to www.linuxiso.org

That site has downloads for 15 or 20 distributions of linux and links you to the official download site for that particular distro. I would recommend going there first.

Before you download and install any distribution make sure that all your hardware and software is compatible and download ALL the necessary drivers before you make the big switch to linux or you will be in a world of hurt trying to find these drivers after the face, especially if the driver you are looking for is for your video, keyboard, or internet.

Linux can be good to learn and has advantages over windows XP and possibly over Vista as well such as security, lack of viruses, and stability.

How do you download Linux to a Windows XP PC without downloading Windows 7?
Q. I need to download Linux so i can get a software on my PC called Rosegarden which only runs on Linux..i know of some ways to download Linux but you need to have Windows 7 which i do not but i really need Rosegarden and i cannot buy windows 7..any help? thankss :)

A. Uh? Why the heck would you need windows 7 to use Linux? It's a FREE Operating system, who ever says you need windows 7 is full of bull. Download a distro (ubuntu is likely best for a beginner) bear in mind, Linux is NOTHING like windows and you may find yourself frustrated and lost.
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/
knock yourself out, but remeber it's not easy. burn to a dvd and then just run it at start up.

how do i download linux to a blank computer?
Q. i have a computer with no operating system on it. It's pretty useless right now so i want to put linux on it since its free. All the sites aren't helping.

I just need to know where i can download linux to a disk and pop it into my blank computer and have it start installing on to it.

A. ok, well to me it seems liek you know nothing about linux. except its free and lots of people say "go with linux its great"

it is great, but only if you know how to use it. it seems you just want a free operating system. Because you want just a new operating system to run i would recommend Linspire, it is what used to be known as "Lindows" although linspire costs something, they do have a free version called "Freespire" it is VERY easy to use it was my first linux distro ( now i am into slackware [Wolvix])

most people will says screw that! learn how to use linux, you can.... but you probably wont, you will probably get bored of it because you just dont know how to use it.

ubuntu is great, mepis is great red hat is great, their are plenty of great ones out there... but its kinda a "to each his own" typa thing if you want a free operating system that is easy to use and you dont have to learn commands just to install a program i would go with Freespire, it is a lot like windows, just faster, safer, and ..not windows.

it has all kinds of free software and windows emulators built it, it is easy to find new software with "click and run" service.

Heres where you can download that: http://www.freespire.org/

also if you do want to learn how to use linux but still be able to use the computer you can do that with this distro as well its still linux

Does Cisco and Linux use the same type of password hashing?

Q. I know cisco has a version 7 and a version 5; but Linux has md 5, is that the same thing as Cisco's version 5?
Thanks for the insight.

A. Linux (And just about everyone else) uses MD5 or SHA-1 for hashing. I am no Cisco expert, but I would imagine they would use MD5 or some variation of SHA as well, as these are the most ubiquitous of hashes on the modern Internet.

I could be wrong though, I haven't trained for my CCNA yet, I'm just going by what I learned so far.

What is the best certificate in Linux and/or Unix?
Q. I have the intention to master Linux and/ or Unix (I am not sure yet but most probably Linux), so I am searching for the best certificate to study for it, so far I found RHCE and LPIC, I think they may be more.
Please tell me what is the best certificate that would verify my abilities and skills in Linux??
Thanks...

A. Novell also has certifications: http://www.novell.com/training/certinfo/
You can also get certified in Solaris (which is also a Unix-ish OS): http://in.sun.com/training/certification/solaris/index.xml

I'm not sure which certification would be in the highest demand. Certainly Red Hat has the most brand-recognition for the Enterprise. Novell is also well known, and additionally has Netware, which is an alternative to Active Directory. Solaris has a reputation for being rock solid (and notorious for being difficult to administer), but I don't know how much demand there are for Solaris Sysadmins vs. Linux.

What is the best free Chess Training software?
Q. I've seen some very expensive Chess training software. What is the best option for a free software trainer?

A. Hello;

Free software for chess training is pretty rare. I think that it is important to have a good pgn viewer ... I like Winboard in MS Windows and I use eboard on my Linux systems. Winboard is also GUI for playing chess. The newest versions have analysis options.

http://www.tim-mann.org/chess.html

Beyond that there is Nagasaki, an excellent free chess program.

http://www.mayothi.com/nagaskaki.html

Interestingly, there is a vast amount of chess help programs on the internet. One of the best is:

http://www.chessvideos.tv/

Is an excellent chess resource. It is a website where chess videos are made many of them are of high quality and the training tips are fantastic.

Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) has chess lectures that can be very informative.

http://www.freechess.org

One of my very favourite chess websites is:

http://www.chessgames.com

It is an on-lline chess community where chess is discussed -- the daily puzzles are enchanting.

There are more, but that should get you started ...

Q. I can do simple things with it already, and I have a midi set up with my keyboard. I want to make techno as good a quality as Dj tiesto, or Dj splash. Or even Darren Styles :P . I cannot for the life of me figure out how the effects and the automation thing works. I tried looking at the users manual on wiki but I need something more in layman's terms. Can anyone help?

A. Try looking through this article : http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/introducing-lmms-linux-multimedia-studio?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+linuxjournalcom+%28Linux+Journal+-+The+Original+Magazine+of+the+Linux+Community%29

8.0 surround sound mentioned from Linux Journal?
Q. Awhile back, Linux Journal had an article about 8.0 surround sound drivers made by a group that used a normal 7.1 surround system. Basically subwoofer was replaced with another speaker, and the 8 speakers are positioned in the 8 corners of a room (4 touching ceiling, 4 touching floor), and supposedly it gives the most realistic surround sound ever. However, I can't find further drivers or information, and I'm having issues locating that issue of Linux journal. Help?

A. I think this is the article you're looking for: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8277

Can you call a cell phone or land line with the nokia N800 Internet tablet?

Q. Can you call a cell phone or landline with the nokia internet tablet , know it is not a cell phone but it has voip and since it could do online video calling i was wondering could it call a regular phone too.
If so how do you do it and is it posssably free?

A. Since the N800 basically runs Linux with XWindows, you can run Linux applications on it. While I don't have an N800 myself, according to Wikipedia, Gizmo Project and Skype both run on the N800. Skype has the Skype Pro calling plan which costs $3/mo and allows unlimited calls to the US and Canada (provided you're in the US or Canada, determined by IP address), or unlimited calls to the country you're in plus a connect surcharge. You could also subscribe to a pay per use plan. Gizmo Project is similar, except you can sign up with Grand Central and this will give you a free US phone number and free unlimited incoming calls. Also with SIP Broker, there are local telephone gateways that will allow people around the world to call you (as a free Gizmo Project user) as a local call at no charge to you. Gizmo will call out too for similar pay per use prices as Skype, definitely much cheaper than any landline or cell. With either Skype or Gizmo, you can call toll free numbers for free. If you're in the US, you can call 1-800-GOOG-411 or 1-800-CALL-411 and have those free services look up the phone number you want to call and it will connect your call for free so in essence you can have free, nothing per month outgoing and incoming calls to/from the US.

Should I get a notebook or a tablet computer?
Q. I have enough money for (an inexpensive) one. I would really like to get as much use out of it as I can. Preferably, I'd like an operating system on it (Linux would be fine).

I would like to use it in my car, but I'm concerned that a keyboard would be cumbersome.

Can one suffice for the other, or are they different enough from each other that you really need both?

If you have both, which one do you wish you would have gotten first?

Your advice is appreciated.

A. I have a IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad X201 Tablet, i7 processor, Wacom penable touchscreen, windows 7, works okay with 8, 6GB ram, excellant battery life

Can a Wacom Bamboo Tablet plug into a HP notebook?
Q. I am getting a Wacom Bamboo Tablet soon and my Mother says she will have my laptop if it can only go into a Desktop... I google it but they didn't have the answer. any help?

A. The tablet is a USB device and as long as the OS on the notebook supports it then it will work.
The Bamboo Tablets work with XP (SP2 or above) , Vista and Windows 7 (as well as Mac OS X 10.4), so unless you are running a flavour of Linux it should work straight out of the box.

Q. For a while now whenever I use the command df in Linux it shows that one of my partitions is full but if I use the du -ac command it shows that I am using only 4.2 of 7.8 Gigs of storage. Is there a way to reset the stats for the Linux command df?

A. Df and du do not measure the same exact things. You can google for: df VS du and see a lot of explanations.

Having Problem installing Tiny Core linux?

Q. I am trying to install tiny core linux using Virtualbox Manager. I've downloaded the tiny core linux iso file of from the official website and i put it on a CD. After creating a a new virtual machine on virtualbox naming it Tiny Core linux, i can't run it off from the CD. It says no bootable medium found! System halted. Anyone know how to install this correctly on virtualbox?

A. Try this link http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:virtualbox

What are some self persistent forms of linux?
Q. I need a form of linux that is persistent, and preferably between 10-900 mb in size. Some examples are: Tiny Core, Slax, Ubuntu, and Damn Small Linux. (DSL)
Yeah sorry im using a FLASHDRIVE to do this

A. All versions of linux are persistent after they are installed on the hard drive.
This will let you install linux on a usb flash drive and provide some space to preserve the changes you make while using the flash drive.

Are these Linux distros useable as virtual hosts?
Q. Are there pre-built packages for, or guides to build, programs like Virtualbox on Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, or Tiny Core Linux? Or is there any low resource OS's that I haven't listed that would be better suited for the task of being a virtual host? I am wanting to try it out on my current pc before I build one specifically for virtualization.

Also, is it possible to stream a virtual OS from a server so that all the processing is done there and not on the client PC? ( kind of how certain rental companies stream a game to your computer, allowing you to play it, even if your computer doesn't meet the requirements.)

A. I presume you have a decent server so it can run big apps, so try Puppy, it's up to date and capable, unlike those others which might be missing things. Or try Bodhi, which is Ubuntu with a E17 desktop. Fast, and you've got all the Ubuntu repositories.

What's the difference between Linux operating systems?

Q. Linux has a lot of operating systems, I'm not even going to bother to list them. I was wondering, it there a difference between them? Does each type of Linux operating system hold a specific purpose? For example, Red Hat holds a different functionality to Ubuntu, or something like that.

A. Linux has many distros but all versions of Linux are the same OS.

Linux is extremely customizable. So much so that it'd be impossible for one person to do all the tweaks necessary to have what most people consider a polished and functional operating system. On top of that many Linux distros are heavily customized for specific purposes. Robotics, hardware appliance (routers for example), Real time OS (traffic lights, microwave ovens, unmanned aircraft), Music studios, Network security, Home theatre, Cash register, various industrial and scientific specialties, generic servers and so on.

There are also distros that are specialized to fit on a 1.44 floppy, thumb drives and a few distros specifically designed to run on CDs rather than be installed on a machine. There are distros that mimic other operating systems such as Mac OS and Windows so closely that at a glance you wouldn't know that you were not using those OS's. Other's are branded such as Dell's version of Ubuntu which is customized for Dell hardware.

There are also commercial versions of Linux. Red Hat Enterprise for example which is designed for high end servers and IBM's SUSE which has customizations for running on IBM virtual servers/being the host OS for the virtual servers, a desktop version which much of Europe's governments uses.

Distros often come with sub distros that are customized for various purposes. For example most major distros have a KDE and a Gnome version These are customized to people's favorite window managers and some distros support up to 5 or 6 window managers with sub-distros. Most support at least 2 or 3. Long term support, special purpose sub-distros like Ubuntu Studio which is geared for musicians are also common with widely used general distros.

The majority of distros however are shortcuts for Linux users to get what they want/need without spending the thousand of hours personally making those customizations. For example some like myself do too much customization and install too much software to upgrade a machine every 2 years. So long term support versions appeal heavily to me. I need and use a large variety of applications so it's important to have very large software repositories. Other people choose high performance bare bone distros. Some people want total control over their sytem and choose primitive distros that give you the bare min necessary, anything else the user installs themselves and customize as they see fit. (not recommended for anybody but an expert).

There are philosophical choices involved in choosing a distro. One big split for example is RH vrs Debian based systems. The RH fork (RHE, SUSE, Mandriva, CentOS) and Debian fork (Ubuntu, Debian) have some small differences in the way they are built. For example RH systems use YUM for software installation while Debian based systems use Apt-Get. You can install and use YUM on Debian systems and Apt-Get on RH systems. It's just a matter of defaults. Same with how root privileges are handled, and other minor details. The average user won't notice such subtle differences.

I've included a link to distro watch which gives details about specific distros as well as release cycles and where to download them.

What is the best linux distro for me?
Q. I am looking for a good linux distro. I don't like the standard GNOME 3 as I have tried the fedora live cd. I have tried KDE, its pretty good. I am currently running Kubuntu 11.10 and had ubuntu 11.04 unity before but I would like a linux thats advanced but easy. Thanks for your help.

A. The Linux Desktop is currently a mess with a plethora of options available. Unity as on Ubuntu 11.10 and GNOME 3 as on Fedora 16 are cluttered and in my opinion not suitable for use on a production machine. I need a Desktop Environment that allows me to just get things done with minimal fuss. This is where the older Gnome 2 Desktop Environment excels.

Linux Mint 12 goes some way to addressing this wth MGSE (Mint Gnome Shell Extensions) which is a layer built on top of GNOME 3 however like other distros. such as Fedora to deploy the GNOME 3 Desktop Environment for me does not convince

Linux Desktop Faceoff GNOME 3 vs Ubuntu Unity
http://lifehacker.com/5853099/linux-desktop-faceoff-gnome-3-vs-ubuntu-unity

There is a new project being developed by Linux Mint called Cinnamon however as with MGSE it is a layer built on top of GNOME 3
http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/

I thoroughly recommend the earlier release Linux Mint 11 which is built upon Ubuntu 11.04 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

How do I enter my passkey to connect to an internet connection on a Linux Ubuntu?
Q. You see, the network to access the internet here at home requires a password to connect to it, should you be using a Mac or a Windows based OS. However, my Linux just connects to the network without asking for a password. But I can't access the internet since I didn't enter the password. And I have no idea how to enter it. Any help?

A. click on internet connections on the top right

then select ur internet connection
if there exist a password then it prompts u for a password
then u need to change the mode to 128 bit hex, i think this is the second option over there in the password prompt box.

if this doesnt work u change the mode of access to shared key in the second trial

Where do i get the software to run the router with Linux? can I download the install program onto a usb drive and then install it on the linux computer? will the linux computer even recognize the usb?

A. Hi
Which linux are you running?

At school, how can you send a message to another linux computer using the linux version of command prompt?
Q. I have been trying to figure out how to send a message to another linux computer at school for a while now by using the linux version of command prompt. I have tried using the write command but it says I have write abilities disabled. I have also tried using smbclient -M accountnamehere and it always says failiure to connect to whatever account I tried to connect to. Any help would be awesome.

A. Maybe you as a normal user just don't have the rights to do so. It's probably so for security reasons.

How to save file to desktop using Linux commands.?

Q. I am a beginner to Linux commands. I use SSH to connect to a Linux server. What command can I use to save a text file on the server to my desktop? Example?

A. From your desktop, fire up a terminal, or use Cygwin if you're under Windows (make sure you have installed the openssh packages) :

scp <your_user_name>@<server_name>:<path to remote file> <path to local dir/file>

Enter your password, and you're done :)

Are you suppose to use different linux distros if you have different purposes?
Q. Or can all linux distro do almost the same if you know the terminal command or scripts? For example if i wanted to do some penetration test with back track but i want to surf the wow anonymously with incognito? Do i have to do them seperately or can i kinda combine them together in one.

A. Terminal commands in almost all Linux distributions are the same commands. Penetration Testing (Forensic) Linux distributions do not make a very good desktop, for everyday use. It doesn't make very much sense to do it on your own hard drive. In most Linux distributions, I believe in the package management program you can find anonymous browsing software to install. And yes one Linux in general can be over bloated with software to your desire.

How can I use hping3 to do a port scan?
Q. When I used Hping3 in linux or windows it can only scan a localhost. Is it possible to scan a remote network? What is the Linux and Windows terminal command for portscanning remote networks?

A. There's no universal program for scanning networks. The best tool to do this from a command line would probably be nmap. nmap is not included with Windows and is not standard in all Linux distributions, but is available in most repositories.
