    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...

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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...
