If you're friend is willing to help, then I'd lean that way. With two brains solving troubles, your work will be that much easier. If that doesn't work, I'd lean toward Mandrake. It's a fairly...

these sites will help. You have a long way to go to learn about linux. Linus Torvalds is in charge, more or less,...

Most of that kind of stuff (language support) is built into linux and xfree86. There's no additional cost or dowload. Of course, there is a little effort spent installing and configuring it, but...
-
Nah, IMHO, the pub versions (the same as downloads, for the most part), are good ways to go. They let you play with less monetary risk, meaning that you aren't as ticked off if one distro doesn't...

true, but when you can't get rid of IE because MS says it's part of the system, how far behind is MP? More accurately, MP is an american invention, with all the RIAA stuff ready to be implemented. ...

Like the other poster stated, your fstab is probably the problem. Can you mount the drive as root? If not, you have bigger issues (or don't know how to mount yet, which is understandable, in which...

Here is the page for that kind of stuff.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-linux.html
basically, it comes down to installing it like anything else, and if the install (rpm) doesn't do it...

The ultimate, for me, is tinkering with programming. Yes, the tools and toys of linux are great, but there is so much information out there about programming with linux, and more software than...

Don't worry about the 1024 boundary. Unless you're using a very old machine (one that would naturally choke on a 60 gig drive...or even a 10gig), that restriction is dead and gone.
My...

Damn that's good. Can't think of a better way, except maybe to give them a disk with just a minimal boot kernel on it (no bash) and then not answer your phone for a few days. :)
-
also, note that the system doesn't seem to be up for much more than a week, with too many uptimes being in the sub 5min range(and like garskoci said, all killed by john). Looks more like a system...
-
you might want to set it up so that your cron version only installs files from selected sites, aka, the security updates. That way, you'll still know what's being updated, and anything you might not...

The rule for junkmail was a 2% response rate would keep you happily in business. For telemarketing, it was .05%. I can't even imagine how low it is for spam, as you can set up a robot that just...

Okay, it's flamebait, but I'll bite. :) SuSE wins, hands down. Not because they're books are the thickest, or cover the most topics, but because I've been able to use their books to work on other...

It's not that linux can't crash, it's that when linux does crash, it's something that the admin did to help that happen. Any computer/OS can crash, and it's fairly easy to do so, regardless of the...
-
Yes, but for many people, ext3 is more forgiving, too.
-
Same reason you don't get your driver's license by winning a rally car race. Yes, it might make you a better driver in the long run, but getting there would be far too hard. Basically, most people...

A day? We're slacking, sorry about that. :D
The limit is in terabytes, and it's moving up as we speak. As for other things you can do to improve performance, you can investigate the noatime...

Gotta agree with the linksys vote. Two reasons. One, it's working for me presently (four systems: two linux, one winME laptop, and one linux/win98 dualboot). Two, linksys (now Cisco) is beginning...

This is really dumb, and probably not worth the post, but then again, I've wondered what was wrong with the computer when I'd forgotten to plug the thing in, too. :)
Are you set up as a dhcp...
-
It's not so much corruption as it is just good administration. Think of it as "a stitch in time saves nine" kind of thing. Also, don't view your partitions as necessarily set in stone, either. ...

Running debian sid can be like that. The best way to figure out .deb problems is to check out the site for the program you're running, then check out your configuration and see if you can make sense...

3 is no problem. I have an 80gig drive that I use just for testing beta's, new releases, and the like. At the moment, I have 6 distros w/1 spot open (the other space is swap, even though my kit...
-
yeah, you can get a pretty decent monitor for under $150 (a scan trough my local shops show cheapy ones to be about $120, brand new--this is SE michigan, US) nowadays, and with that card, there's...

My question is, why? If you have remote access set up, then you can just 'su' to root. That seems like a better option than having your system wide open all the time for the few times you might...
