This turned out to be a fairly simple procedure, but I had enough false starts (and enough Googling) to think it worth recording what worked.
Background
I was given an old but working...

I'd vote Scribus too. The only potential problem is that (as far as I know) it doesn't open .pub files, so if you have an old file you use as a template you'll need to either convert it (which is...

I strongly suspect that any DRM bugs added to Linux would fall in one of two camps: (1) reverse-engineered and GPLed, or (2) restrictively licenced and therefore difficult to include by default in a...

LNO got me off the ground very effectively, back in the day. I still check back pretty often, but post even less than I used to because (to misquote Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie) I've got a wife...

Thanks for the replies, PAE it is then.
I admit that amount of swap will be overkill for my desktop system, but there is (some) method in my madness. :p I'll have 2 disks on separate IDE...

Does swap space use up any virtual memory addresses?
I have a box with a 32bit P4 and 1.5GB RAM, which I plan to set up with a total of 4GB swap space. Now I understand I'd need a PAE-enabled...

Somthing like Tomsrtbt?
It's a few years old but works, maybe someone can suggest something more up-to-date.

Pulse Audio can take sound from an input on one machine to output on another. I don't know if it compresses the sound in between though.

I think what you need to do is extract the file to stdout and pipe it to the command you want, something like
tar xfO [tar file] [desired file]|grep [pattern]
where [desired file] is the path...

1. If mint's running that slowly you might have a graphics driver problem, in which case it would be trying to do all those fancy desktops effects without any hardware acceleration. The result can...

I found Barry Burd's Java for Dummies was a good introduction, though with your background you might want to skip a chapter or two.
-
Best bet might be the 'light' version of a big distribution, like Xubuntu which has all the same software as Ubuntu but is optimised for an older system with less RAM. Any distro can be tweaked in...

The specs sound similar to my first ever desktop PC, which had Linux installed in a 1GB partition on a 2GB hard disk (the rest was reserved for CD images and a small DOS partition). Red Hat 5.2...

Laptops are known for having weird hardware, so I'd recommend posting the make and model of the laptop here, plus Googling for {laptop name}+Linux, since the chances are someone will have got it to...

That's the best news I've read all day! I'd better finish setting up that ol' surround sound to listen to the aforementioned lady. :)

Just a quick thought, I know Red Hat has used SELinux for a while now, does it run it in enforcing mode by default? If so, maybe your user doesn't have any access rights to the new partition.
-
Xmessage should work and might already be installed.
If she has Samba running you could try Linpopup - it does the same job as Windows' 'net send' and 'Win pop-up.' I haven't used it for years,...

I originally chose Mandrake based on the balance of several reviews, found it was far too bloated and unstable for my liking, then found that (being Linux) it could be fixed, and fixed well - which...
-
Now It's got me trying to remember when I first used chbg, I know I had XScreensaver hacks as a background in '03... :p
-
Which is worth knowing if, for example, you happen to 'format' your swap partition while installing a second distro... especially if your primary distro has quietly switched to using UUIDs in fstab. ...

For inkjet, I had complete success with the Lexmark X2670. I had to download the manufacturer's driver, but it installed first time and Just Worked(tm), even though it was a Suse package on...

If you find you still can't get off hir server, try this thread.

Cool beans. :) I've never felt like I switched from Windows, since I've never used it by choice, but work requires it to this day. My story's already been told on this site, and my one regret is...
-
My first thought was a firewall or router could be blocking the messenger application, but it might just be something in the default set-up that's mis-typed (or out of date).
If that doesn't help...

Last week I found myself at a conference run by a company that sells scientific instruments (usually controlled by Windows software, as it happens). At dinner the first evening, one of their sales...
