Guest Leviticus Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Can Linux run Coreldraw? I guess you're aware of the BIR software thingy, can it also run in Linux and other Unix programs as well?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>CorelDRAW ALSO NEEDS LICENSING. even if you are able to run it in Linux, you still need the licensed software Quote Link to comment
rpgfan Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I know it's not up to snuff yet, but if you need image editing software for quick fixes, use the GIMP na lang. I've tried it and although it won't hold a candle to Photoshop, it's not too bad. Quote Link to comment

johnlove Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Thanks sir Rpqfan. Can anyone teach me how to open a terminal window in ubuntu? Quote Link to comment
horribletruth Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 No problem johnlove. As for the terminal, you can click on (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal). Another great site to go to would be: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper There might be more comprehensive sites out there, but this should do for a start. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment
rpgfan Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 ^Whoops! Sorry about that. My brother's account was logged in pala. Anyway, that site should help. Don't hesitate to ask your questions okay? I'm sure other folks would be more than willing to help out, same as me. P.S. How does one delete in these forums? I can't seem to find a delete button e. Quote Link to comment

webmaster_ph Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I was planning to get another desktop for me to experiment on i.e. trying out Linux. Problem is getting drivers, if its an old piece of h/w chances are it won't have one. BTW, is the Fedora distribution a good choice? Quote Link to comment

In my experience when the hardware is old and your linux distro is new (ie, new release) most likely you won't have any problems with drivers. and hey... you don't need a separate computer (separate desktop) to experiment on linux. you can simply make a dual boot of your computer. if you don't want the hassle of making a dual boot just go for the live cd (ubuntu is a good example). so far Fedora core 5 is the best for me, second is UBUNTU 6. redhat enterprise edition 4 sucks in comparison to these.

hitomi Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) hey guys i just found out that the stalls that sell pirated cds also sell linux OS! they have fedora core (complete 4 cd set!), coyote linux, suse, etc. i know they're free but they take a long time to download so an alternative would be to buy these cds. they're relatively cheap at 100 Php per cd.

Ubuntu's great for newbies to linux. You can also install VMWare to set up any number of virtual machines to test any linux distribution. I'd go for Ubuntu and then CentOS as great linux distributions. Quote Link to comment

Guest Leviticus Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Hey linux guys. Let's make this thread active again.

dauphin74 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hi, The error messages point to dependcy issues. This means that other RPM packages need to be installed first before you are allowed by the system to install gcc. An easier way would be to go into the "Add Remove Programs" (this has a different name in Linux; sorry I forgot), and then just add gcc from its corresponding group. The program will tell you what CDs will be needed to install gcc and its dependencies.

Thank you in advance. what distro are you using? since you are installing rpms, I assume it's Red Hat, Fedora, Mandrake or another rpm based distro. You need to use a package management tool like yum or urpmi to install new packages. This will take care of the dependencies. In Debian-based distros this is done by apt-get. Google for yum or urpmi Quote Link to comment
cruesome Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) @bukn0y: if you can identefy the required (dependency) rpms from the error messages, you can download that rpm and place it on the same directory as the other rpms you wish to install, then you may call rpm again as: rpm -Uvh *.rpm btw, yum is yummy Hey linux guys.

Gave me ang insight on linux networking. Madugo talaga as compared to windows networking. Hehe. This time around I'm undergoing self-study on how to connect a client linux desktop to a server box so that the user's profiles/files can be access whichever computer a user would log in. Malabo ba? Hehe... need advice if tama ang direction ng study ko: correct ba that I'm reading on NIS? Quote Link to comment
