« on: April 09, 2009, 08:27:41 PM »Goddamn, linux is really starting to rule on userfriendliness. I've just gotten my Xubuntu running great straight out of the box, have installed Spotify through Wine easily, have mounted the NTFS partition where I keep my media just by editing fstab a bit, and have just managed to share the media with my 360 without any hassle whatsoever. And on my prehistoric box, the Xubuntu smoothly. Good bye, Windows!
just wait til you've tried puppy linux 4.2
I'll definitely try it some time, but now I'm sticking with my wonderful Xubuntu. By the way, what's your part in this puppy linux thing, just a satisfied user or are you involved somehow?
I just saw there is a puppy linux retro for older machines

« on: April 08, 2009, 10:33:30 AM »They didn't "appreciate" me "asking" them to leave my stores property due to scarring off my customersFrom Slashdot -- Phoenix Police Seize PCs of a Blogger Critical of the Department --QuoteLogicassasin sends in a story about a blogger in Phoenix, AZ, who runs a site that is critical of the local police department. The police recently raided his home and seized his computer hardware.
"Jeff Pataky, who runs Bad Phoenix Cops, said the officers confiscated three computers, routers, modems, hard drives, memory cards and everything necessary to continue blogging. The 41-year-old software engineer said they also confiscated numerous personal files and documents relating to a pending lawsuit he has against the department alleging harassment - which he says makes it obvious the raid was an act of retaliation."
A local publication quotes Pataky saying, "We have heard internally from our police sources that they purposefully did this to stop me... They took my cable modem and wireless router. Anyone worth their salt knows nothing is stored in the cable modem."
Phoenix PD can suck a big dick.

« on: April 08, 2009, 01:40:58 AM »I've usually been pretty happy with Microsoft products, but after having Vista on my laptop I'm at my wits end. Vista is the biggest piece of shiat OS I've ever used... Well maybe Me was worse, but it's a close call. And top off that I can't downgrade to XP Pro I'm (for the first time ever) considering Ubuntu or some other distro. Any recommendations for someone who's never used Linux for a laptop/media center type computer? I'm actually pretty good with computers, can do a bit of coding, etc. But, I've never used Linux. Worked a bit with Unix for a programming class back in college, but that's about it.
How's compatibility with Windows apps and games? Is there any? Or do you need applications and games that are built for Linux? Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm new to this whole thing...
wine works pretty well for windows apps under linux, i run a number of windows ham radio apps using it.
games are another issue.

« on: April 08, 2009, 01:35:18 AM »Hey, since all the computer guru's are here. Do any of you know of a good HTTP/FTP download program that has a web/remote interface that I can install on my Windows Server box? I currently have uTorrent for torrents, eMule for direct p2p, and FileZilla for FTP serving. But, I don't have anything good for direct HTTP or FTP downloads. Currently I just Remote Desktop in and start the download, but it would be nice to have a web interface like uTorrent and eMule have...
for command line
wget or curl
