I am trying to get my mom to let me get Ubuntu with OpenOffice and delete windows XP from the family computer. She is worried that if I had to do a project at school (with Word, PowerPoint, or Excel) that I won’t be able to work on it at home. Am I able to put my stuff on a thumb drive and bring it home to work on? Will it work fine?

I ask this question owing to the increasing popularity of Ubuntu.

I used to be anti-Linux, but I am now converted since Ubuntu 7.04 came on the scene.

It does everything Windows does and just as well.

And its Free !

Is there any more linux applications like PlayOnLinux for Ubauntu?

I just setup Pardus (distro of Linux), and it uses KDE (K Desktop Environment), I had used Ubuntu before and that uses Debian (I am right?)

So what is the difference between Debian and KDE and does this limit me from using certain applications(programs), does it make anything harder/easier

What are the cons/pros of KDE and Debian (Why are there different Desktop Environments?)

is there a reason for me to switch to Ubuntu (I want to start with a good OS, and Pardus seems to be easier to use, but its easier to find documentation on Ubuntu)

Thanks,
there is ubuntu that comes with KDE? not my Q but….

So does KDE and Debian support all aplications

I’ve been going around in circles. I cannot access a parachat chatroom. I’m told I need to upgrade Java. When I go to Java it tells me I have java version 6 update 20 and need to upgrade to update24. java then presents 4 options. which are:
1. Linux RPM (self extracting file)
2.Linux (self extracting file)
3.Linux x64
4.Linuxx64 RPM
I do not know what to do from here.I read that a RPM file will alter what is already installed so I tried option #2 without success. I have a pentium processor, a 64 bit OS. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

IS there any free downloadable software that can draw 3d views of computer equipment and their networks that I can use on a Linux Operating System?

What standards (i.e., Java, XML, Linux, etc.) do you see as being adopted by businesses for future Internet applications?

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘dpkg –configure -a’ to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
