Hello all, I'm looking to buy a new computer and lately I've been looking in the Apple Store. It doesn't look like I'll be able to afford the powerbook that I really wanted, but I shouldn't have a...

I understand that this technically isn't Linux related, but I think its a problem all of us experience. :mad:

For the past few years, I've attempted to combat SPAM by using multiple email...

Alright, good. I just wanted to make sure I could dual boot OSX and Linux. While I love OSX I think I'd be lost without Linux.

If I purchase the powerbook, chances are I'll dual boot with Gentoo.

I'm in the market for a new computer and while I love the new powerbooks, I'm concerned that I won't be able to dual boot Linux with it. I understand OS's such as RedHat won't run on it but can I...

Anyone who takes one piece of software too seriously is very ignorant. The Gimp is a very good piece of software, I haven't said otherwise. It simply lacks certain features that I need to work...

:shrug:

I know how to use the Gimp perfectly well. Theres just certain things it isn't capable of doing. Without those capabilities I'm limited in what I can do. If Gimp was to come along in...

The Gimp is a wonderful example of open source software, but it simply isn't Photoshop. It doesn't have the features or power of Photoshop. I'm not someone looking to ONLY use Photoshop and flame...

I'm probably just confused here but the screen shot looks fine to me. Just change your theme if you don't like that. Download Bluecurve or something.

Personally, I'd continue to use Linux. Granted a significant reason to Apple's small market share is its price tag, but I doubt too many people would run out and buy OS X. Computers would still be...

There's just a lot of commercial software out there that just doesn't seem to have a peer in Linux. For example nothing seems to come close to Adobe's Photoshop or Macromedia's Flash MX.

I know...

People aren't getting into Linux and OSS to put food on the table though.

They slave away at jobs where they generally aren't granted any creative freedom to put food on the table. It's...

What is missing from Linux that is keeping it from either becoming a mainstream OS, your sole OS, or just something you'd like to see?

For example are there any specific programs for Windows or OS...

This might be a dumb question but what does ANSI C mean?

Does that mean its made for linux?

Thanks for the response DH. I took four years of computer programing in high school. Of course 2 years were QBASIC but two were C++. My freshman year in college I wanted to further my programing...

I see a lot of the SAMs Learn C++ in 24 Hours/Days books out on the market. Are these a worthwhile purchase or should I be looking for something from O'rielly?

Do these books more or less cater...

I guess this is something I need to do in root, any ideas?

Do you know how I can check the permisson or change it?

In high school and freshman year of college I took C++ courses. Now that I'm about finished with my sophomore year, I'd like to spend some time over this summer extending my programing knowledge. ...

I'm having some problems with Mozilla in Gnome. For some odd reason it won't save any of my preferences. For example, when I set my homepage to mysite.com it automatically reverts to the redhat...

Am I just asking the wrong questions? I've done many searches on this forum as well as in Google and I still can't seem to customize Gnome the way I would like.

I'm sure you must be able to...
