I’d like a way to live stream a video (movie) from my dedicated linux server (running debian) and possibly have chat as well? Sort of like Justin.tv but running on my box. Thanks!

I’ve chosen Computer Science instead of Music, so I need a cheap but useful comouter for programming (an older OS would do (no older than Windows 98)). It requires serial ports and some USBs would not hurt either. It would also need to be able to run 2 pertitions because I will require Linux too.

Thx!
Laptop prefered.

I have an old PC running Xubuntu and I plan on installing AVG Free. When I look at the download screen for Linux files, I have the options:

.deb
.rpm
.sh
.tar.gz

Which one should I download? Is installing anti virus even necessary if I have this version of linux?

Thank you,
Thank you very much for that first answer, is there somewhere I can find a list for the file types that Xubuntu can install?

when configuring it askme for te system should I choose MS2 ,OS/2 or other and how do I install it to the virtual pc only!?

Hey there,
I was wondering if there is any way to grow a plant indoors, that is normally outside, and is out of season to be grown. I ordered some mandrake seeds and i would love to grow them indoors, but its not the season to be growing them. I would love some tips on growing plants indoors.

A lot of people praise Linux for the fact that it gives people access to it’s source code, and talk down on windows for not releasing it. My question is, if you have windows installed on your computer, what is preventing you from looking at it’s source code?

I currently have the Adobe CS5 and Linux Mint setup. I was wondering if its possible for me to install adobe applications to linux???

I heard that its possible to install the adobe photoshop cs5 on linux mint. If so, how do I do that?

Thanks. =D

Its so easy to get pirated Windows that you don’t bother buying it. But one should think about whether we should do it or not. I mean it feels good when you are doing the things in a way that you think is right. If I think about it, it seems that the people who did so much hard work in making the Microsoft Windows are getting less paid because of us. What do you think: ‘What is so wrong about using the pirated stuff?’ Moreover, when there is a free alternative available(Linux) why don’t we use it and feel good about not using the pirated one.

where can u find the 3 mandrake roots? between hagrid’s hut and the greenhouse but where?

Explain how the “i” , “v” , and “h” options modify the behavior of the rpm command as it is interpreted by the shell.

Is it possible to readjust the color depth of redhat kernel for example to 16-bit from the GRUB or boot up kernel one step more and my system gets dammed.

Dell Inspiron 2200 with celeron 1.4 ghz processor and 512 ram?
It will be a test computer and not my main.

I want to listen to the same music at the same time with 2 computers in my LAN. One is running Linux, the other one Windows XP. So I thought it would be the best to set up server on the linux pc and setup a stream to the other pc. But I don’t know how to do that. What application do you recommend me? Should be easy (fast) to configure. Is this possible without a delay, anyway?

Open-source programming embraces a philosophy that states programmers should make their code available to everyone rather than keeping it proprietary. The Linux operating system has had much success as an open-source code.
What are other advantages of open-source code (Linux or MACs "Snow Leppard")?

Why do you think that companies such as Microsoft maintain proprietary restrictions on their code?

I would like the comparison to be on other hardware platforms too. Other then x86 (Intel) hardware.

How on earth do you install a program on SUSE Linux? I have dowloaded the program SNORT and I have no earthly idea how to install it. I am not at all familiar with Linux and when I open the folder I downloaded, I see no executable files. The filename of the file I downloaded is snort-2.6.1.tar.gz

Any answers as to how I might accomplish the installations of this would be greatly appriciated.
How then, do you compile the source code into a .rpm?
