It has indeed been interesting, but now the system seems to live quite good side by side with windows xp on my computer. When I've learned how to use the different ...

Here is the deal it is an OLD IBM thinkpad iSeries, it has 196 mb of ram and that is ALL it will take, there are no more slots and I am not buying anymore parts for ...

I've been curious in light of the unprecedented negative publicity around Microsoft Vista. The rants I've done on it were all for the pre-release versions, certainly well before Service Pack 1, which supposedly fixed a lot of problems. The opportunity has presented itself (by way of a friend of a friend who works for Microsoft) to secure a legitimate copy of Vista Ultimate Edition 32/64 for a...

I want to SSH to my server on the internet, but my proxy I'm behind only accepts secure connections from port 443. How do I trick my proxy that I'm actually sending on port 443 when I want to get to my server on port 22? If this is not possible, how do I set up my server to accept connections from port 443 as well as 22? I'm thinking like a -L or a -R option in SSH? (I'm using PuTTY, but the ...

Hey guys, later note to my last query. I seem to have solved my last problem for now and Ubuntu is fast, great and it has the freedom which i wish i could have on vista. Another problem in which i have is that all of my music and stuff are all on my Windows OS, and I don't know how to access the HDD.

I found this site while googling how to fix linux when you have never seen it before for dummies, and on page 1283 it said you guys were the best. Anyways I hope i broke the ice.

Looking around for a DSL decent provider is very discouraging. Different prices in different places. Different terms in different places. Everybody just looking to rip people off. It's Very Depressing!!

Well, I'm new to Linux. I just installed Ubuntu last night, and Linux is working perfectly fine, except for one thing. I can't download anything. The only things that even remotely work when I download them are .tar, .gz, and .zip. With them I can open them up in Archive Manager, but not do anything once I'm that far. I'm trying to install a couple things: Steam, MSN, and Flash. I need Steam so I...
