What Will Happen If I install Linux Mint AND ten uninstall windows xp?

Q. If i download linux mint then uninstall winxp will i still have my drivers like sound,LAN,graphics and more important drivers.

A. RECOMENDATION:

dont read to much blogs, u must read sensible info about linux, Debian its the mayor linux documented proyect for read, IN LINUX U MUST READ FIRTS AND TEH MEK ACTIONS


TAHE CARE OF THIS MEN:

LINUX ARE NOT WINDOW

WINDOW ARE NOT LINUX

LINUX DONT NEED DRIVERS RIGHT

and for last: for unninstall windows only one command and play it fron linux

mkfs.ext3 /dev/windowspartition

THAS ALL

What are the main differences between Linux Mint 12 and Linux Mint Debian?
Q. Obviously one is based on ubuntu and the other based on Debian, but what are the package differences? What kind of software do they/don't they have?

A. Linux Mint Debian is a rolling distribution. I keeps on getting incremental updates, and you don't have to reinstall it. Linux Mint 12, on the other hand, gets periodic major upgrades which you have to install.

What type of package do I use on Linux Mint 9?
Q. Most software I find isn't packaged specifically for Linux Mint. So I was wondering, do I use the packages for Ubuntu or the one classified under other or all distros?

I figured other or all would make more sense, but I thought since Linux Mint is from Ubuntu maybe its OK.

Yes, I'm new to Linux >.> Thanks for any help.

A. Any package ending with .deb should be installable in Linux Mint. That means any packages designed for Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or any other Debian derivatives will be fine.

A. A generic kernel made for testing for the next version of your flavor of linux. For mepis, a debian based flavor, I add a sid repository to my apt/sources.list, aptitude update, and then install the latest kernel. I then comment out or delete the line in apt/sources.list, and test that I haven't hosed my applications. I did say to make a backup first didn't I?

How do I install cinnamon in Linux Mint?

Q. How do I install the desktop cinnamon in Linux Mint? I have all the repositories added but I don't see cinnamon anywhere. Is there a location that the actual debian package can be found?
I am running Mint 12 gnome edition 64bit right off of the iso. It has "Matte" as the default desktop. When I go to synaptic package manager and search for cinnamon it doesn't find anything at all.

A. Check the third post on this link. You have to enable the unstable repository also in synaptic.
Hope this helps

How do I install Linux mint debian xfce or linux mint debian gnome?

Q. I am wondering how do you install Linux mint Debian on a USB stick from Linux mint 11 lxde or lubuntu 11.10. I tried the start up disk creator but nothing came up and it only recognized my USB drive how to i install the Debian edition of Linux mint off of Linux mint lxde or lubuntu if the start up disk creator wont recognize the image I downloaded.

A. you need to be running on either a Live CD or a Live USB to install an OS.
I use a USB because it is quick and simple, and I like to recycle.
I believe there are other tools but I use unetbootin to configure the USB stick
unetbootin can be installed from the Software Manager
information on unetbootin here> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

How can I activate my graphics card driver in my Linux Mint Debian Edition?
Q. I just installed Linux Mint Debian Edition(LMDE). Unlike the Ubuntu based Mint, This one can't automatically detect the graphics card and doesn't show the notification in the tray, so I can't use animations and Compiz effects.

Any help?

A. For Nvidia GeForce Cards (6200 upwards)

Open a Terminal and submit the following command (copy and paste)

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental


Close the Terminal and REBOOT

Questioning the mentality of Debian purists with regards to the spurning of Linux Mint Debian Edition.?
Q. It is quite understandable why there is noise from the Debian purists about Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros. but Linux Mint Debian Edition surely they are spurning their own 'The Wonderful World Of Linux Politics'

Your thoughts ?

A. Mint Debian is the next Ubuntu, now that Ubuntu has gone off the deep end. This is assuming Clem finds competent help in developing it. Can you imagine Mint's tiny team serving a community as large as Ubuntu's? It's inhuman as it is, the stellar OS they put out for what seems to be the whiniest userbase of any distro (read the blog comments). Everyone has a completely uninformed, kneejerk opinion in the Linux world, so I just ignore the average user's crankiness. I doubt it's Debian purists who object to LMDE, more like Debian posers who think an OS is a status symbol. Ignore them. Mint Debian does need a bit of refinement --at least it did when a tried it a few months ago-- but I feel it's the future. We'll even get used to Gnome 3 somehow...we'll have to, and it's improving every day from what I can tell, though I don't use it.
Think of the whiners switching to XFCE because they don't like Gnome 3, or the huge hissy fit that erupted when KDE 4 was released. I sit in bemused observation of every supposed crisis. The open source community mostly consists of reasonable and knowledgeable people, it's the newcomers to Linux that form factions and are demanding; the same ones who throw a fit about every little bug but have never filed a bug report, and if they did file a bug report it would be more nonconstructive b1tching anyway. Don't even take them seriously.

How do i make Software for Linux Mint?
Q. I've used Ubuntu since 2007 and then in December of 2009 i installed Linux Mint and i love it!, but how would i make software for Ubuntu,Linux Mint or Debian? I have no idea. Where do i start what programs do i need?
I already know c but how do i do it in GUI?
I wanna make gui apps too though, how do i do this?

A. For building GUI applications under Linux, the two most popular tookits are GTK+ and Qt (pronounced "cute"). The KDE desktop as found on Mint has been built using Qt. I have used Qt toolkit and I think it is quite pleasant to program with it.

You basically need two things to start developing GUI applications on Linux:
1) Install the gcc compiler package (and g++ in case you want to do c++ as well)
2) Install the development libraries for the GUI toolkit of your choosing

For (1), you proceed through your package manager, or enter a command in a shell such as: sudo apt-get install g++

For (2), assuming you wish to use Qt, you have to download the Software Development Kit (SDK) of Qt found here: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-linux-x11-32bit-cpp
You run this file and follow the wizard that will install all the development files for you.

Qt SDK also includes a nice code editor called Qt Creator which will greatly facilitate your job.

Once this is installed, I recommend starting the Qt Creator editor, and loading a couple of examples provided with the editor. Study them, and you will be able to write your own programs.

What are the main differences between Linux Mint 12 and Linux Mint Debian?
Q. Obviously one is based on ubuntu and the other based on Debian, but what are the package differences? What kind of software do they/don't they have?

A. Linux Mint Debian is a rolling distribution. I keeps on getting incremental updates, and you don't have to reinstall it. Linux Mint 12, on the other hand, gets periodic major upgrades which you have to install.

What type of package do I use on Linux Mint 9?
Q. Most software I find isn't packaged specifically for Linux Mint. So I was wondering, do I use the packages for Ubuntu or the one classified under other or all distros?

I figured other or all would make more sense, but I thought since Linux Mint is from Ubuntu maybe its OK.

Yes, I'm new to Linux >.> Thanks for any help.

A. Any package ending with .deb should be installable in Linux Mint. That means any packages designed for Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or any other Debian derivatives will be fine.

What is the most streamlined method of upgrading the Linux kernel?
Q. I have tried several methods but I am looking that streamlines the process to a minimum. Does anyone know of such a method.

Distros.

Ubuntu>Linux Mint>Fedora
I am looking to upgrade to the latest Linux kernel

A. A generic kernel made for testing for the next version of your flavor of linux. For mepis, a debian based flavor, I add a sid repository to my apt/sources.list, aptitude update, and then install the latest kernel. I then comment out or delete the line in apt/sources.list, and test that I haven't hosed my applications. I did say to make a backup first didn't I?

What are some good light weight Debian based Linux Distros?
Q. I'm tired of Linux Mint (Ubuntu based) and everything based off Ubuntu because it's unstable and breaks anytime. Should I try something based off Debian, or Debian itself?

A. First issue, Remasters of a main line Linux are very easy to break the operating system. Second by today's standards of Linux, Debian is light weight. If you go Debian, find the one that uses the testing repositories because that is the one that will stay up to date and current. If you don't want to risk breaking the operating system, stay away from remastered distributions.

How can I activate my graphics card driver in my Linux Mint Debian Edition?

Q. I just installed Linux Mint Debian Edition(LMDE). Unlike the Ubuntu based Mint, This one can't automatically detect the graphics card and doesn't show the notification in the tray, so I can't use animations and Compiz effects.

Any help?

A. For Nvidia GeForce Cards (6200 upwards)

Open a Terminal and submit the following command (copy and paste)

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental


Close the Terminal and REBOOT

Questioning the mentality of Debian purists with regards to the spurning of Linux Mint Debian Edition.?
Q. It is quite understandable why there is noise from the Debian purists about Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros. but Linux Mint Debian Edition surely they are spurning their own 'The Wonderful World Of Linux Politics'

Your thoughts ?

A. Mint Debian is the next Ubuntu, now that Ubuntu has gone off the deep end. This is assuming Clem finds competent help in developing it. Can you imagine Mint's tiny team serving a community as large as Ubuntu's? It's inhuman as it is, the stellar OS they put out for what seems to be the whiniest userbase of any distro (read the blog comments). Everyone has a completely uninformed, kneejerk opinion in the Linux world, so I just ignore the average user's crankiness. I doubt it's Debian purists who object to LMDE, more like Debian posers who think an OS is a status symbol. Ignore them. Mint Debian does need a bit of refinement --at least it did when a tried it a few months ago-- but I feel it's the future. We'll even get used to Gnome 3 somehow...we'll have to, and it's improving every day from what I can tell, though I don't use it.
Think of the whiners switching to XFCE because they don't like Gnome 3, or the huge hissy fit that erupted when KDE 4 was released. I sit in bemused observation of every supposed crisis. The open source community mostly consists of reasonable and knowledgeable people, it's the newcomers to Linux that form factions and are demanding; the same ones who throw a fit about every little bug but have never filed a bug report, and if they did file a bug report it would be more nonconstructive b1tching anyway. Don't even take them seriously.

How do i make Software for Linux Mint?
Q. I've used Ubuntu since 2007 and then in December of 2009 i installed Linux Mint and i love it!, but how would i make software for Ubuntu,Linux Mint or Debian? I have no idea. Where do i start what programs do i need?
I already know c but how do i do it in GUI?
I wanna make gui apps too though, how do i do this?

A. For building GUI applications under Linux, the two most popular tookits are GTK+ and Qt (pronounced "cute"). The KDE desktop as found on Mint has been built using Qt. I have used Qt toolkit and I think it is quite pleasant to program with it.

You basically need two things to start developing GUI applications on Linux:
1) Install the gcc compiler package (and g++ in case you want to do c++ as well)
2) Install the development libraries for the GUI toolkit of your choosing

For (1), you proceed through your package manager, or enter a command in a shell such as: sudo apt-get install g++

For (2), assuming you wish to use Qt, you have to download the Software Development Kit (SDK) of Qt found here: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-linux-x11-32bit-cpp
You run this file and follow the wizard that will install all the development files for you.

Qt SDK also includes a nice code editor called Qt Creator which will greatly facilitate your job.

Once this is installed, I recommend starting the Qt Creator editor, and loading a couple of examples provided with the editor. Study them, and you will be able to write your own programs.
