Linux Anybody?

[serpentor_ph]

quick question lang po:

 

balak ko bumili ng bagong HDD, gagawin ko sanang dual-boot. Ano ang mas maganda/mas madaling unahin na i-install, Ubuntu (or kahit na anong Linux na rin) or Windows XP? Ano ang advantages/disadvantages ng uunahin mo ang Ubuntu over Windows (and v.v.)? Thanks

 

 

try mo rin gumamit ng virtualization software para safe yung windows partition just in case :thumbsupsmiley:

nasubukan nyo na ba yung Linux Media Center? Ok ba sya?

 

It's still, almost, the same. Just needs better sound and video cards. Come to think of it, it's similar to Windows Media Center.

Takot ako. Pumunta ako sa "known issues" tapos nakita ko na papalitan daw niya sa xorg yung nvidia-- hindi ko na tinuloy basahin.

Hey guys, di ko alam bakit di ako nagtatanong dito dati pa. Who's using linux and surfing via wifi? I've installed mandrake, mepis, and ubuntu on my laptop however none of them could support wifi surfing. Although sa totoo lang mas madaling magpatakbo ng hardware using linux. never had a problem looking for drivers. Sa windows nagkaproblem pa ako.

I think you have to install the wifi drivers using a program called 'ndiswrapper'. I think what this does is use the provided windows-only drivers for your wifi card and adopts it to linux...

Been using GNU/Linux since 1995, Slackware 3.0. It's grown a long way since then, and have used it on every computer I've ever owned since then. I actually do it for a living, so you might say that I'm something of a guru.

 

My advice to anyone who wants to give it a shot: Try Ubuntu 7.04. If you want a copy have a blank DVD ready and give me a message...

meron na ba linux w/ GUI for 64 bit na desktop?

[artvader]

[pphyles_core]

[Linooks]

how about Damn Small Linux (DSL)?

 

i tried it out on an old 486 and it worked

[KerbyBryan]

I have used RedHat, Fedora,Ubuntu,Slackware,Suse and Debian...

 

Lahat ok!

 

I think OK na ang fedora for common usage.. Lalo na kapag you are using Wine.. ^.^

hi ubuntu users, maybe you guys can help.

i've posted this question in the ubuntu forum but only a few answered and none of their suggestions worked

so i'm hoping a local ubuntu user has experienced this problem and found a solution

 

anyway, its an internet connection problem. we have a p4 PC that has worked fine and connected to the internet with version 6.10. however when we upgraded to version 7.04, the pc won't connect to the internet.

it has built in LAN and we are using a DSL modem.

 

when we checked the network tools it listed three "connections":

1. loopback interface

2. eth0

3. eth0:avahi

 

none of them work.

we tried the pppoeconf command and a host of other things, still no internet.

Help!!
