ken_2_10_nah Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Knoppix comes in both DVD versions and CD versions. Obviously there are less applications in the CD version.You can also remaster your own version of Knoppix (like I did) Quote Link to comment

I had to download programs sa limewire... pero konti lang... but i think slowly rumarami narin ang pwedeng programs dito...i beg to disagree. if you know what you need, then you can find it. try http://sourceforge.net for a start. there's always something for everything Quote Link to comment
johnlove Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I tried Ubuntu 6.06 a few days ago.Unfortunately I don't recommend it for people who connect it to the net using dial-up. Marami ka pa kailangan idownload, mag version 5.10 ka nalang. Quote Link to comment

cruesome Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 linux is linux. i have the habit to install just the basics, and install all the rest off the tarballs. packages out of the box are precompiled with the options desired by the packager, you may or may not need them. Quote Link to comment
Aaaa100000 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 share ko lang this nice article.... http://www.apdip.net/news/fossdoc recommend also to download the documentary video of BBC about FOSS (Free/Open Source Software) Quote Link to comment
R@v3n Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Anybody tried Knoppix? CD-based Linux OS. I've tried it. Worked great until I grew out of it. I now use Slackware and Ubuntu... really? howd u do it sir? i only have a dvd version, how will i remaster it to make a cd rom?am thinkin of putting just the OS and the office applications only There's a FAQ about this somewhere on the internet. Just google it... :cool: ANg hirap ng linux! Wala mashadong program... I had to download programs sa limewire... pero konti lang... but i think slowly rumarami narin ang pwedeng programs dito... Ginagamit ko lang linux cpu namin pag may hindi ako siguradong site or download Wrong. There are plenty of alternative programs in Linux. You just need to search for it in order to find it. I tried Ubuntu 6.06 a few days ago.Unfortunately I don't recommend it for people who connect it to the net using dial-up. Marami ka pa kailangan idownload, mag version 5.10 ka nalang. That's because most dial-up modems (internal) sold here in the philippines are softmodems (they make the CPU do the modem work...insufficient hardware which is why they're cheap...) which don't work well with Linux. :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Guest Leviticus Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I am currently trying out two linux distros right now: Bayanihan (Fedora core 3?) linux for P3 computers and Mandriva Linux. All I can say about Mandriva is: "Ang cute" as compared to Fedora 5, and RHEE. I think I will stick to Mandriva for awhile :cool: Quote Link to comment

Are there distros that can detect soft modem right away? I have problems with the instructions from linuxant.com. Quote Link to comment

johnlove Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi, is there such thing as "flash player 8" for linux? Quote Link to comment
Op3r Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Gentoo is cool. Debian is cool. althought they are just distros. Been using linux since time immemorial. im not here to brag pero for those beginners who want to explore it. Use Ubuntu. then grow up to fedora after fedora go to debian after debian go to gentoo. along the way you will learn bash scripting, next will come perl programming then comes next c. before you know it you know tcp/ip and networking. next will come security. dont be afraid to use it. if in doubt sa console type man <command> just dont try to do rm -rf / peace.

Guest Leviticus Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Ows? What's the diff between Slackware and Mandriva? I'll start downloading the ISOs later but in the meantime, can you guys give a preview on slackware? :flowers: Quote Link to comment

I have problems with the instructions from linuxant.com. I don't believe there are any distros that support soft modems out-of-the-box. You just need to research more on how to properly install a softmodem driver when on linux. It can be done but not without some work involved. :cool: Quote Link to comment

johnlove Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Linux is a low cost tool. You can't open a lot of windows in linux. Just open about 8 windows and linux sometimes hang or shut down by itself. Quote Link to comment
