For those who dont know, Ubuntu is a free and open source Linux OS. It does pretty much everything windows does, has comparable software, (office, graphic editing, etc), and Is just as pretty, if not more. Also lets assume that if computers came pre-loaded with Ubuntu, that modern games were made for it. (sims3, modern warfare, etc.)
Would you still pay for windows??

There is this girl that lives in my neighborhood and I think she stole some of my mandrakes because she has been wanting to get pregnant and she knows I had some mandrakes. I want to get pregnant too, but I would have given her some if she had of asked. I just don’t like it when people takes things without asking. *sigh*

I have Mandriva 2010 Linux. I also have virtual box. I’d like to know if there is a method I could use to have this virtual box start upon login, without running all of the other standard startup programs. I’m willing to modify this linux installation in any way necessary to make this work.

I’ve been trying to setup everything on my own. but i am now stuck to installing and configuring bind-9.5.0-P2 on my redhat linux. I’ve been trying to search for an answer but there are a lot of conflicts especially with the distro and versions of bind. My box is Linux version 2.4.20-8 (newbie@testingmahbox.com) (gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)) #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003

I read RMS’s entire bio an I don’t recall Debian ever popping up in it. I love (and need to install the most recent version of ubuntu, but hard drive is messed at present) linux; it’s my fave OS by far! Peaceful, great community, open source, good beliefs and mentality etc.

I know GNU is rms’s deal, gpl and the like. GNU’s not unix I understand GNU and linux completely; don’t understand debian.
linux is linus torvald’s kernal
I don’t understand why and how almost all gnu/linux packages are .deb?? WTF is going on ?

Is software for linux called "debian"? If so, that seems annoying ridiculous. what’s going on with that? cheers. thanks.
Can you install Debian os/gui like GNOME/GNU? IF so, why do I rarely ever see such OS?
To what does debian refer?

GNU refers to the non-kernal part of "linux"?

Im testing linux suse in virtual box. Im normaly a die hard windows user and am more than halfway through a networking program centered arround microsoft. Im a brand new user in a linux environment however and id like to know what to expect when installing drivers.

I am running Linux (ubuntu) on its own partition. I have the windows partition mounted and can read and copy files from it. However, it is read-only. I want to be able to modify files in it and copy files into it.

What open-source software is there for ubuntu linux that will do this? How do I install it and make it work so that the NTFS partition is editable and mounted?

I have been looking for mandragora autumnalis seeds for awhile now but most of the seed suppliers are sold out. I have been succesful in growing mandragora vernalis but now I want to try growing the autumn mandrake . So does anyone Know where I can get some seeds??? thanks

I forgot the command to navigate to desktop via terminal. does anyone know it?
You get 10 points!

I have always used Microsoft and desire to learn Linux. I am a programmer by occupation, but everything is done via Windows.
Also, which is the best Linux Distribution?

I’m a student learning C and have limited knowledge of C. I will be away from internet access for extended periods and needs a way to work on program projects for school that currently interacts with Redhat Linux on the school’s Linux server. I was thinking of trying Ubuntu, but would like to get an idea of differences between the various ‘system programs’ that my programs are intended to intearct with. I think the learning experience is good to try different versions of Linux too. I would like to try ftp projects on both versions of Linux also (more for learning purposes). How differently will ftp and ‘system programs’ (like diff) behave on these two environments. How likely are simple student projects (especially ftp) to run in both environment? And, what are the key differences that I should watch out for. (I’m new to FTP.)

what type of tree is this?

its like big and gnarly but it has leaves, and its roots like are above the ground, or some of them are. I swear I saw a picture of them on the coast of somewhere, like new zealand i think, but im not sure.
they look really cool and they are really big?? for some reason i thought of mandrake tree, but thats not real… hehe. so what is it?

I want to know if Fedora DVD has more contents than the CD such as more programs, applications and capabilities.

Should I use FAT file system or NTFS for Suse Linux? Will the installer partition my hard drive for me or do I need to?

Revised question, actually.
The class debate is that Micro claims that Linux stole their patches or something along those lines. I’ve been put in to the Linux group, and therefore have to defend it with my little-to-no-knowledge of the whole situation. I’m doing soem research, but I’d really appreciate any opinons you guys have, defenses, attacks from either side. Advantages and disadvantages?

My position is to start up the argument and give a general overview of the situation at hand and layout the arguments for the next speaker. Aye.

how can i install gpm driver through text console when serial mouse is attached to com 1

I’m on a Linux compter in one of my college’s computer labs, it’s 64-bit and running Red Hat distribution. From http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ I tried both .tar.gz and .rpm.

When I unzipped the tar file I got a file called libflashplayer.so, and when I tried to open it I got an error that said "couldn’t display [path]/libflashplayer.so".

When I extracted the the .rpm, I got a folder with 2 folders inside, lib and share, and a bunch of files and folders within those. I found another file called libflashplayer.so, and it gave the same error.

Anyone know how to get it to work?

For class I need to write a story using these 30 words but I’m having trouble getting started. I don’t know how to use these words while making sense.
Sink, mountainous, scalawag, renegrade, spoonfish, pouch, filligee, farcical, Elysium, emancipated, cultural, challenge, caste, estuary, acculturate, monster, myopic, mumble, riot, tribune, robot, repartee, glacier, quest, verbiage, mandrake, pilfer, globalizing, texting, Skulking.

I have many ideas on how Linux could make a better OS for netbooks and intel atoms but I can’t do it myself because I don’t know how to even make an application. I got ideas like UI and designs plus many more things.
