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.

Can I get a job if I learn linux for 6 months?

Q. I am planning to learn Linux for 6 months ( about 3H per day). Will I be ab;le to find a job as entry level easly or not? If not what should I learn to make it happen ? Thx.

A. You should be able to if they are hiring. Kind of toiugh in the job market now but things should get better in a couple months.

To learn linux what distro should I use?
Q. I want to become a Mysql DBA therefore I need to learn linux. What distro should i use between: Mandriva 8. Fedora 8 and Unbutu 7.2?
Also I might use a wireless so I don't want any issue and spending days configuring that. I need a user friendly distro to handle my wireless connection & mysql/PHP duties.

A. Considering you will be spending the bulk of your time messing with mysql itself and your linux viewpoint will mostly be a shell command line and an editor, it probably doesn't matter all that much.

Consider that corps almost always play it safe. That means they go with something that provides support. In the US that primarily means Redhat,, Suse, or Ubuntu. Possibly Fedora or Centos.

Check around to see if you wireless card is support. If not, get one that is. Its not like they are a big expense these days.

If I learn Linux for 6 months can I get an entry level job?
Q. I am planning to learn Linux for 6 months ( about 3H per day). Will I be ab;le to find a job as entry level easly or not? If not what should I learn to make it happen ? Thx.

A. "Learning Linux" does not get you a job. If it did, I wouldn't be unemployed. You need to learn more than just how to use various GUIs or a couple bash commands. You need to learn stuff like administrating a web server, secure networking, etc... I've been using Linux a solid year and haven't mastered those yet. You will not learn it in six months only spending a little time on it.

What Linux distro should I use to set up a home server?

Q. Does anyone have any knowledge on a distribution to use to set up a home server where multiple user accounts are stored and files are stored?

A. I use Fedora 8 64 bit edition. 347 days of up time so far. Can't say that for any Mac or Windows system. I like Kubuntu for a desktop more. Mostly because of the eye candy.

Which operating system is best for server and security centos or redhat or any other os available?
Q. We need a highly secured operating system.So which one is best redhat or fedora or centos?
And also which is bug free?

A. Probably RedHat (who also provided most of the money for the development of Fedora). Security is down to the system admins - if they aren't very good then neither will be your security. Bugs happen, nothing much you can do about them except know how to either fix them or get around them.

How to share folders between fedora and vista?
Q. Using SAMBA server, but when Vista tries to access folders, it does not work. Help?

A. I'm assuming you are talking between two different computers!

make sure you create a user with the same name of the person you are logged into the vista machine as, and make sure you set the password to the same password as the vista user (smbpasswd)

You can also edit the smb.conf file where you created the share to make the share public to anyone without a password (not secure, obviously) to get a starting point.

wuts a good Iphone app?

Q.

A. The list

1. Google Voice

Google Voice is a service that is so useful I consider it one of the top benefits of Android itself, especially since Apple rejected the Google Voice app for the iPhone. It gives you a phone number that can ring to multiple places or devices and it allows you to access all of your voicemail and text messages over the Web. The Android app integrates even deeper. It can make outgoing calls look like theyâre coming from your Google Voice number so that you can keep your real mobile number private.

2. Advanced Task Killer

One of the realities of having a multitasking mobile OS in Android is that you have to manage your apps so that they donât hurt performance or battery life. Advanced Task Killer (or ATK) is my favorite. It even comes with a widget that you can tap once to kill all open apps.

3. Dropbox

Dropbox is a great cloud service that automatically syncs a folder of files between multiple computers (Windows, Mac, or Linux). This app extends Dropbox to Android and interacts with other apps (such as Documents To Go) to open the files.

4. Evernote

Once you get used to typing on a virtual keyboard (and it honestly took me over a year to do it), then these devices are great for note-taking, and Evernote is a great note-taking app. It is similar to Dropbox in that it saves data locally but syncs it across all your machines and devices.

5. DroidAnalytics

For some reason Google doesnât have an official app (for either Android or iPhone) for Google Analytics. The best one Iâve found on Android is DroidAnalytics. Another good one is mAnalytics.

6. Documents To Go

The free version of Documents To Go offers a great little reader for Word and Excel files. You can upgrade to the full version (for $15) if you want to edit files and add PowerPoint files to the mix. If you do want editing capability, Iâd also recommend taking a look at QuickOffice.

7. Amazon Kindle

I never warmed up to the Amazon Kindle e-reader, but Iâm a big fan of the Kindle mobile app. Since it was released Iâve read a lot more books simply because my smartphone is always with me and I can pull it and read a few pages anytime Iâve got a couple minutes free.

8. Places Directory

This is an awesome app for finding shops and services near your current location. From restaurants to movie theaters to medical facilities to taxis, this app is very accurate and takes advantage of the business information from Google Local. This app is better than the info you get from a GPS unit (or app) and better than any of the similar apps available on the iPhone.

9. Tripit

I dig Tripit. It is by far the best app Iâve found for keeping track of all my travel itineraries. It runs on some great backend systems. You simply forward your confirmation emails for your flights, hotels, rental cars, and more to Tripit and it automatically organizes them into trips with all your details and confirmation numbers.

10. Seesmic

Twitter is an amazing instant-intelligence engine and it was made for mobile browsing. Although thereâs an official Twitter app for Android now, Seesmic is still the best Android Twitter client.

11. FCC Speedtest

Iâm obsessed with running speed tests to check my bandwidth in various places, both to see 3G fluctuations and to check the quality of Wi-Fi. There are a number of really good speedtest apps, but my new favorite is the FCC Test app.

12. Astro File Manager

Another one of the great things about Android (if youâre a geek or a tinkerer) is that you have lower-level access to the system itself. Astro is an app that lets you navigate the Android file system.

13. Got To Do

There are plenty of to-do apps to choose from on Android but I prefer Got To Do because of the solid interface and the fact that it can sync with the online service Toodledo.

14. Gist

Many of us have contact lists scattered across various computers, devices, and online services. Gist is a Web service that can bring them together and even pull in stuff from the Web to help you stay up to date with your most important contacts. Thereâs an Android app as well as an iPhone app.

15. TED Mobile

TED is a fascinating event that features a meeting of the minds of some of societyâs most influential thinkers. Youâll definitely disagree with some of them, because thereâs a large diversity of opinions, but many talks are worth listening to. What I love is that theyâve taken the videos from their conference and made them freely available on the Web. This app provides a great way to access the videos. I hope more conferences follow TEDâs lead on this.

problem with backing up files before restoring computer?
Q. So my computer has like tons of malware/viruses. I figured reformatting would help a little bit ...
I'm trying to back up my computer so some personal documents wouldn't be lost in the process of restoring my computer but a pop-up keeps appearing every second saying "The drive cannot be written to please label the dvd-r "owner pc august 16, 9:58pm drive one" My dvds are completely clean its a maxwell dvd-r with 4.7 gb. I used theses CDs previously for making my own restoring CD's for another computer. I have no choice but to reformat because my security is down and dead whenever i try to turn it back on its unable to.

A. You can always use alternative methods to back up. Purchase a USB flash drive or external hard drive, which just requires you to copy and paste the files you want to save.

Or, you can upload the documents to the internet with a secure storage facility. I like to use Evernote: http://www.evernote.com/

===

Colanth - I'm sorry, but for a living, you easily give up and tell people "sorry, all is lost"? How unreliable and unprofessional. You can actually scan external media to remove the viruses before placing documents back onto a freshly restored computer. Or, you can boot the computer from a Linux Live CD and retrieve the documents, resave them in a different format on Linux using virus-free, open-source software, and then back them up.

How do I switch my Chromebook back to Linux OS?

Q. I recently bought a Acer C7 Chromebook. The only downfall I could see was that it ran on Chrome OS but I had found I could get ChrUbuntu on it and it would run as a fully functional linux laptop. I did this and it worked but since the Chrome OS still lives on in its own dedicated partition it automatically booted into the Chrome OS when I restarted the computer. I would like to know how to run it back in ChrUbuntu. I know it's still on my computer but I don't know how to boot back into it. Thanks in advance!

A. delete the chrome os & reinstall the chrubintu os

How do I connect Windows and Linux?
Q. I have two laptops behind the same router. Both connect to the internet just fine. One is Windows XP Media Center Edition and the other is Ubuntu 6.06. I'm used to using Windows file sharing to share files between Windows laptops. I want to do something similar now between the Windows and Linux laptop. I just care about reliability, speed, and convenience, not security. What are my options and how do I do it?

A. you need to install samba on your linux machine in order for windows to see your linux files.

on linux, you need to mount the windows share using the mount command. you'll need to use type "cifs".

if you can't figure it out, you could always just use IIS WebDAV on windows and Apache WebDAV on Linux. Same concept and it lets you access files just as you normally would but using the HTTP protocol.

What design programs.........Asus Eee PC 8G Linux Laptop?
Q. I LOVE to design, but i am moving with my sister soon and i can't take my old desktop computer that i had when i was living with my mom, so i decided to invest in the Asus Eee PC 8G Linux Laptop(just ordered it online). I was wondering what programs are compatible with this laptop? By the way, i use Photoshop CS3 Extended now. Also if you have any other tips for me about this laptop please leave them!.

A. It runs Xandros Linux. There are tons of programs available for Linux, but you won't be able to use a lot of the programs you use with Windows. Don't worry, there is tons of alternatives that are, in many cases, better

Check this out:
http://www.linuxalt.com/

Look up your favorite Windows programs, and check out the Linux alternatives.


Also, there is a program called Wine, which allows you to run many Windows programs on Linux. I don't think Photoshop CS3 runs yet, but I know Photoshop CS2 runs quite well. Photoshop might take up all the hard drive space on that thing. Check out GIMP for a photoshop alternative, it'll most likely be preinstalled on your laptop

How to installing modem in Redhat 9 Linux?

Q. Please any body tell me what techniques use to install modem in redhat 9 because i download the drive of the modem also but i can not install in redhat 9 please any body tell me know some commands of installing modem through linux terminal. I am waiting your early reply . Thanks

A. Type of modem and type of driver download make a big difference.

If you have a tar-ball (driver ends in tar.gz or tgz) then you will need to type the following
tar xzvf <driver filename>
cd <dir created if one was >
./configure
make
make install (as root)

and that is very generic and not a whole lot of help with the information you gave

Where From I can download Sound and Video Player software for Linux redhat3?
Q. I have installed Redhat 3 in my computer. But it is necessery to installed extra sofware of sound and to play movie i.e video software.

A. Use your redhat package manager to install software. Look for kaffeine, mplayer, amarok.

kaffeine is a really good video player.

Amarok is a VERY nice audo player/collection manager with lots of features.

mplayer is a basic no-thrills player.

Are you talking the newer Redhat Server V3, or are you talking the REALLY OLD Redhat 3 before they split off the free stuff to Fedora?

Hard disk space required for red hat enterprise Linux 5?
Q. I want to install red hat enterprise Linux 5 on a new partition, but I don't know how much space it would require, any ideas?

A. You can run RHEL on as small as 5GB of HD space but I strongly recommend having at least 20GB dedicated to RHEL (very few modern OS can function efficiently with less then 20GB for files, programs, etc).

How can i uninstall linux from my pc and switch to windows?
Q. After modifying my BIOS I installed 'red hat- enterprise linux 5'. I had to enable the hard disk drive mode into RAID from IDE before installing. Now when i attempted to install windows, i turned the hard disk mode into IDE from RAID. But when i entered the windows installation cd, there is no installation page displayed. Please help!!!

A. What DO you see on your screen when you use the windows cd?
Is your bios set to boot from cd?
If all else fails google for dos boot disk and one of those would let you reformat and partition you hard drive. THen try the windows cd again.
Good luck

How would I randomize a VERY LARGE text file?

Q. As the title suggest, I'm looking to randomize a massive text file, in the upwards of 3gb. This goes beyond the processing power of programs such as Notepad++ and also TextPipe Pro. I work with very large lists like this often and have yet to find a solution. Does anyone have suggestions?

A. Not sure what you mean by randomize.
In Linux in Perl etc. you could just allocate a good chunk of swap memory and let it chug away. I
had a LaTeX2HTML process years ago that ran fine in more memory than I had RAM.

Heck, 3Gb isn't that much RAM nowadays so you don't even need that. If you wanted to randomize 3Tb it might take a bit more thought.

If it's something you do often, then maybe it's worth spending a bit of time on. Better algorithms beat faster computers hands-down. We get so lazy nowadays - just buy a new computer instead of tuning programs and doing digital liposuction (removing the fat).

Linux users if I use a CD that came with a book to install linux and it is missing programs?
Q. Like let's say movie player, or music player, or simple things like calculator, or some sort of notepad. Where can I download them that will work with linux?

A. Linux will generally have a program like Software Center or Synaptic to install the files from their repositories. You open this and type in a search for what you may not have, check the file and click apply and it will install the software for you. There isn't any reason to be doing terminal commands unless it is a file that is not in the repository and to install from the terminal, you must be logged in as root, not user. Most versions of Linux disable the root account to prevent people from messing the operating system up. Some of what you have mentioned are part of the install for the desktop environment being used and don't need to be installed by the user. You can always download a Linux LiveCD and run it in memory to see if it is what you want to install.

How to remove an OS from a multiboot?
Q. For a while now I've been running Windows 7 in a multiboot with Vista and Linux Mint. I'd like to get rid of Vista while keeping a Mint/Win7 dual boot. Is there a way to do this?

A. Depends on which OS is controlling the boot menu. If it is Windows, you will find a text file in the root of your computer called boot.ini. Open it in notepad and you will see the menu options. Remove the line for Vista and resave the file. (Back up the old first just in case...)

I do not know if Win 7 as the option, but with early versions of Windows you can edit the boot.ini using msconfig. Start > Run > type in: msconfig

Go to the boot.ini tab

Run the "check all paths" and it will update the boot.ini to reflect the current configuration of your computer.

How can I transfer a save on minecraft in windows to linux?

Q. I have windows 7 and ubuntu linux on my computer. I built a cool city on minecraft in windows 7 and want to transfer it to linux so i can play it on my linux because it is faster. Is this possible? How would I do this?

A. it is possible.
In windows 7, press (Windows Key + R)
Type in (without quotes) "%Appdata%\.minecraft"
In there you should see a folder called "saves"
Copy that and transfer it over to your Linux
From there just paste it inside the "minecraft" folder

What is the Net View command for linux?
Q. I have been playing around with Linux a lot lately. What is the linux net view equivalent? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

A. If you are talking about a TCP/IP Networks you have a bunch of commands that can act like Netview:

users
groups - Print group names a user is in
hostname - Print or set system name
id - Print user and group id's
logname - Print current login name
printenv - Print environment variables.
uname - Print system information
who - Print who is currently logged in
whoami - Print the current user id and name (`id -un')
who

Now, if you want a command to see network share devices in a MS-Network you should use Samba.

I hope this help you.

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.

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

How to download the Linux or FreeBSD down to the CD burner?
Q. Because downloaded Linux and FreeBSD are compressed image file, then with FreeBSD downloaded files Disc1, Disc2, Disc3, so I do not know how to do before they can be burned into the CD, I can tell how Office?

A. ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit!

It has several 'Modes', each one for performing a different task:

Does anyone know where I ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with Netgear USB wifi adapter?

Q. Does anyone know where I can get a complete ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with a Netgear USB wifi adapter? I sadly can't burn a DVD with my iPhone yet....?

A. To this date there aren't any current drivers for the netgear usb wifi adapters.

How similar to Linux to OSX an which one is the most similar?
Q. I already have Macs but I also have windows computers. Knowing that I cant install OSX on a windows based system I was thinking of moving to linux.

My question is this. How similar to OSX is linux and which version of linux is the most similar to OSX?

Also a further question would be how easy is to obtain and install the linux version that you recommend and where would I get it from.

A. Because the linux variants do vary a LOT, It ALL depends on the Linux you get.

I think you'll find Ubuntu (Kubuntu for KDE4, Ubuntu for Gnome) to be the best option for a new Linux user. You download it, burn it on a disk, put it in your disk drive and go. It's a great OS and it's completely free. I use it for everything except gaming.

I think you'll find Gnome, Ubuntu's primary desktop interface, similar to a flipped version of a windows-osx hybrid (That happens to come pretty much invincible from viruses.)

There is also Fedora, which is good because it has a neat picture.
There is Red Hat, which kind of sucks.
There is Xandros, which has a really cool-sounding name.
There is Gentoo, which will make all nerds love you, but requires previous knowledge of all programming languages and kung fu.
There is Debian, which is like Ubuntu but without the Ubuntu part,
There is Black Hat, who's existence I can neither confirm nor deny.

What version do I have to start learning linux?
Q. Which version do I have to start learning linux? What version is commonly used in the enterprise? Do all Linux versions have the same command? What is the difference between the versions of linux?

A. Any. All.

Redhat, Debian, and Ubuntu are common in enterprises. CentoOS is a free version of Redhat.

how to open a url from linux command line?

Q. I want to run a url from the linux command lline. So, please help me with the command.

Where do I find source code of linux commands?
Q. Linux commands like cp, dir, ls, shred, man (etc...) are nothing but programs (hopefully all written in C). I would really like to know exactly how they work (and make a few modifications to some) so I need their source code...
Can you tell me where to find source code of linux commands?
Thank you in advance!

A. In general there are several places you can go to get the source for these commands. This is mostly because there can be several different implementations of the commands.

1) The company who distributed your version of Linux. Most versions of these types of commands are under the GPL and as such the person or company who gave you the executable has to make a copy of the source code available to you. Usually these are released as source rpms, and some times come on one of the CDs or DVDs that you used to install Linux with. You can often find them on the web too.

For example the RHEL5 Server source rpm (SRPM) is
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/coreutils-5.97-12.1.el5.src.rpm

Most of the time your distribution will have a tool like yum to install these and other rpms for you.

2) www.gnu.org
GNU probably wrote the commands that are on your distribution of Linux, although a few very specialized distros use different implementations of the commands (Usually busybox http://www.busybox.net/ but this is really rare).

http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/
has instructions on how to download a very recent copy of the code, which may be much much newer then the version currently installed on your computer.

NOTE:

Some shells, like tcsh and csh have their own implementations of these commands built into them. This is because it is faster to run the command as part of your shell then to fork and exec a new command. So if you do change them be sure to check that you are actually running your updated version. BASH usually does not play these games but you can always check by running which followed by the name of your command.

How do I get Grand Chase on Linux Mint 7?

Q. What am suppose to do to get Grand Chase on Linux Mint? If I do get Grand Chase, will I be able to play it on Linux Mint 7?
If u can answer my question in a video tutorial that would be great, but if u cant/dont want to, u can always just explain it to me with as much detail as possible. Thanks in advanced.
By the way the only web browser I have in Linux mint 7 is Mozilla Firefox.

A. You can't run Grand Chase on Linux. You can only run it on Windows.

What is the best portable Linux for Windows Lover?
Q. I am looking to play around with Linux and I am wonder which one of the portable Linuxes would be the best for someone who is used to Windows.

A. Hii,

You can Use MANDRIVA, it has the almost same features like windows, I mean myself and many of my friend are using it, and we had find it better over other flavours of linux. Like for Instance.. following are the main features, that we have find Mandriva Linux working as Windows :

(i) No need to download additional packages or plugins to play any audio or video files. As you require in other flavours. for instance in fedora and Ubuntu
(ii) If you want to connect your computer with WIFI, internet, then many a times it has seen that Linux flavors create lots of flavours, as required drivers are not shipped with pakages, you need to download from respective linux forums. No such problem arises with Mandriva, it supports all the drivers to connect with internet, broadcom, WIFI, everything.
(iii) Its packages provide web-cam software as well, where you can even click funny photographs with the software.
(iv) INSTALLATION : easy to install, if compared with other Linux flavours, exception : Ubuntu
(v) Desktop features ,GUI, Terminal are very friendly, and can be easily understood by normal users.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE : If you are looking for powerful desktop features, more animations, more powerful animations and appearance than Windows Vista. Namely you want to concentrate more on looks, graphics and animation feature, go for UBUNTU, provided that you are not looking for more features.

Can you install any software on linux?
Q. If i have linux, can i download any software or buy any computer game, software, etc, and will it play on linux, or is only specific software designed for linux? How does that work, how come you need seperate versions for the different OS?
i thought i clicked on general computers, not sure how this ended up in womens health?

A. hmmm, you posted this in women's health lol. but...linux is different than windows. some windows programs will run in linux, but not all as these are different platforms. whatever you buy will say what platforms it is compatible with

How do install mpeg decoders and flash for linux fedora 10?

Q. I am completely new to linux fedora and linux for that matter. I am running fedora from a live usb until i get these issues fixed. I apparently need to install mpeg decoders, xvid decoders, avi decoders and a flash player. Being a complete noob to linux I don't know how to go about this.

A. It looks like the decoders are not patent free and fedora will not include them. Other linux distros do allow a user to install them if they wish at their own risk.
The second link has instructions for flash.
You should search the fedora foum for more info on the codecs.
Good luck

How to install linux fedora on a i586 system?
Q. How do I install linux fedora onto an i586 system? I tried the installation guide page, and the live cd mode is not compatible....and to do a classical install for this kernel, but my question is: WHAT is a classical install? Thanks!

10 points for best answer!

A. The live CD won't work, it assumes i686. You'll have to use the non live installer. Also a i586 system probably isn't powerful enough for the dynamic file system in RAM anyways.

Last I checked Fedora still did i586 kernel builds.

I recall an installer parameter, that you can boot it "linux i586" to force that architecture.

I do have a i586 system running CentOS 4, a rebuild of Fedora's commercial cousin, RHEL.

How can I install Linux fedora 4 on a computer with out using Virtual PC?
Q. I want to install linux fedora 4 on my computer to make it a server. But i want to do it so that it will run of the harddrive becaause i have a spare 250 gb that i want to use. So how can i put it on the computer itself instead of Virtual PC

A. You could repartition your hard disk, overwrite whatever existing system you have, or install a second hard disk.

Which ever you choose - get a more up to date version then Fedora 4, which is ancient. Go for Fedora 9 instead.

where does mint save your downloaded files?

Q. I am very new to linux mint. I downloaded a couple of files and I can execute them but i cant find them in the hard drive. Anyone know where it saves applications?
I downloaded code blocks on mint. I ran the executible and it got the files. i can run the application but cannot find the files. Any clue where they are?

A. Are you referring to the Synaptic Package Manager? Everything is downloaded into /var/cache/apt or /var/cache/apt/archives

If it is from Firefox or Chrome/Chromium, by default it will be in you download folder ~/Downolads (Note: the Tilde means /home/user or is your [the active users] home folder)

How to get pictures to post on Craigslist on Linux Mint?
Q. I'm posting an ad on Craigslist, and my dad downloaded Linux Mint (Dumbest program ever!), and I don't know how to get pictures off of the SD Card that I have plugged in. How do I retrieve the pictures off of the SD card on Linux Mint?

Thank you!

A. Whichever photo manager is installed on your version of Mint (most likely F-Spot, but possibly Shotwell) should be set to open once a drive with photo media is detected. Your father may not have set that up when he installed Mint, so maybe that's why it didn't launch.

You'll have to manually launch the photo manager, and after that it's simple to import the files to the "Photos" folder in Nautilus.

How can i install the new linux mint and pclinux os with out a cd/dvd or a flash drive?
Q. Do you guys know of any good tutorials to download linux mint and pclinuxos with out a cd dvd or falsh drive i need a good tutorial im new to this :)

A. If you do not wish to tamper with a real system, you may try Virtual Box by Oracle. In that case you will not need any CD/DVD or Flash Drive either.

Just download the CD image and mount it on a virtual CD/DVD ROM like Daemon Tools.

You may visit the following page for further details.

What Linux games will work with Kubuntu 9.04?

Q. It didn't come with games and i am wondering what Linux games it will play, if any at all.

A. I believe one of the packages available is called "kde-games". Look for it. I enjoy the ace of penguins suite which mirrors the OLDE Windows 3.1 games -- taipei, freecell solitaire Merlin exccept the face cards all have penguins on them. I was playing canfield when I saw your question. Also of course, you'll have to look around but there are deb packages for quake quake2 and quake3 arena (maybe even quake 4) which games were originally written on a *nix network.

Is it possible to download Linux games on a Windows system to play on a different, Linux system, later?
Q. My Linux box doesn't have a connection to the internet and my Windows system does. I planned to download a Linux program from my Windows system to use on my Linux box.

A. Harry is right. Save it onto a floppy with vfat or a CD with a Joliet file system and you will have no problems. I had to deal with a corrupted Quake 1 disk the other day and I was told that it was looking for Joliet. Windows closes files with a control-z while *nix uses control-d but you will find that the OS does that conversion for you and you shouldn't have to worry about it unless the Linux install is badly botched on the target system.

How do i turn an ISO into a disk that will boot on CPU start up/ Should I use linux????
Q. Ok i have two questions so far, This will help end the struggle you guys and girls have been helping me with thus far. I got an ISO of WIN XP Home. I have 2 cd keys from old CPU's. I know itll work cuz i just tryed it on my wifes. My first question is how the hell to i make this ISO into a actual DVD? So that when i restart i can choose to boot from the ISO (dvd) and reinstall WIN XP.

Now for Linux, Two games that consume my life are BattleFeild And Fable. I need a Music program and I use wireless internet. I have been told that Linux is free. Its just a Pain to install. However, Vista was a pain to install and its a pain to use. So i guess my question is Will i be able to run these games on a linux system? If so which one? And how many people actually (not just saying it without experiance) recomend Linux system?

A. Ok, I can answer your first question, but not the second. First, you need an ISO handling program (personally I prefer PowerISO, although there are others) that is capable of burning CD's/DVD's. Then, it is simply a matter of going into that programs tools menu, and clicking on "Burn image to CD/DVD" or something like that. All you have to do then is to find the ISO file and select it. You then need to insert it inot your PRIMARY CD/DVD drive, and make sure that your BIOS is set to boot from CD before the hard drive.

Hope that helps.

A. The GNU License only requires that you license your modified work under the same GNU license. This is known as attribution. Beyond that you have no other legal obligations. As for distributing your work, I have two suggestions for you.
1. Google Code ( http://code.google.com )
2. Source Forge ( http://www.sourceforge.net )
Both are great for getting your project out there.

What do you think about a free operating system?

Q. I've read there are some free operating systems. Can anyone tell me about them and where you get them? Do they run like Windows or would I have to learn a whole new system? Do they include a lot of drivers so it can find the drivers I'd need since I don't have them for my computer? Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.

A. I tried Ubuntu about a year ago....best OS I have ever seen. And I was around computers before Windows was born.
It is a little different- but much better and easier than any windows product.

The only downside is that if you are a gamer....you will need to keep windows.

P.S. I am still using Ubuntu. Ubuntu can use KDE, XFCE, or Gnome desktop.

Google will come out with Chrome OS later this year. They have already released Chrome browser. It will be a free OS.
There are over 100 different Linux OS's. Most are free. They usually all come with all the applications you will ever need- free of course.

What is the best free operating system for a computer?
Q. So pretty much what is the best free operating system? By operating system I mean examples like window, vista, ect.
Anyways what's the best one?

A. Windows is not free, so that's out. Mac OS X isn't free, so that's out.

That leaves Linux for the most part. There are a truckload of different versions, but Ubuntu seems to be the popular one for people just getting into it. I've also seen Linux Mint recommended.

There are also an assortment of others, such as Unix (FreeBSD seems to be the most common there) and other even more obscure ones, such as BeOS and its spawn, Haiku, ReactOS, an attempt to build a Windows-compatible OS, and many other little ones.

What's the best free operating system for my old computer, why, and where can I download a CD image for it?
Q. I have a very old computer currently running Windows 95, that I'd like to fix up for my little siblings for schoolwork. Can you recommend a free operating system that I could download a CD image for (the computer doesn't have a DVD-RAM drive)?
Please include why you recommend this operating system, and a link to where I can download it.
Thanks

A. i suggest linux abuntu what you will need to do is go to the link iv given then you need to download linux abuntu.. then you will also need to get a program off the internet that can burn data to cd's as an iso image once you have that burn your iso image ov linux abuntu to the cd... then you will have to insert the disk then reset your computer and you will need to change the bios.. to change the bios you will need to press esc or delete befor your pc starts up... when your in the bios look for the start up options then set it to... launch from disk then save your new settings and restart pc then you can install linux abunut good luck..

What Linux distro to download for maximum Windows software compatibility and feel?

Q. Hello all. I'm a Windows user, but I'd like to try out a Linux distro. I'm looking for an OS that has a similar GUI to windows and similar applications, with high compatibility with Windows programs. I was thinking of Ubuntu. Do you guys have any better suggestions? Thanks.

A. I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 8 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.10 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

Linux Mint 8 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=44

The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 8 (Helena)
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-8-helena

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 8 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

Linux Mint 8 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive

INSTALL LINUX MINT WITHIN WINDOWS (not currently available for Linux Mint 8)

To install Linux Mint within windows you will need the earlier release Linux Mint 7 which is built upon Ubuntu 9.04

Linux Mint 7 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=38

Linux Mint 7 has a feature called mint4win based on the Wubi installer (Ubuntu) which enables you to install Linux Mint within windows (Windows 7 run Wubi/mint4win in vista compatability mode)

Mint4Win â A Wubi based Installer for Linux Mint
http://duncsweb.com/2009/09/27/mint4win-a-wubi-based-installer-of-linux-mint/

Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi

You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.

mint4win like Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

Boot in to windows insert the LiveCD you have just created and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where mint4win comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.

Once Linux Mint 7 is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Linux Mint

How can I build a Linux Distro?
Q. I have downloaded the latest stable kernel. How can I make a linux distro from scratch? What do I need?

A. Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code.
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

Alternatively, you can easily customize your own Slax linux live right from your browser. If you are new to Linux you probably want to start with something like that.

What would be my best choice for a linux distro?
Q. i have a dell inspiron 1525. what would be my best choice for a linux distro? could someone maybe point me to a website with the most amount of info on the subject? i'm new to linux and would definately want to learn more about it.

A. I'd suggest Ubuntu or Linuxmint.

http://www.ubuntu.com/

http://www.linuxmint.com/

Ubuntu ought to be the best linux distro around.

Linuxmint is easier on beginner who just make transition from windows to linux

Well, i don't want to stuff you with bunch of confusing information.

Just download the image file from the web-site. Burn it onto a blank CD and boot live from it (it means you get to use it without messing up anything)

For ubuntu, you can try WUBI if you're afraid of repartitioning and mess up everything

http://wubi-installer.org/

Have fun exploring the best operating systems on earth
