At least your half way there.

Exactly, and I think thats the point they are missing, once it setup.. you never need to touch it again.. it just keeps on working.. no 6 monthly re-install cause its slowed down etc. No BSOD no viruses no spyware etc.

First thing I do on any linux GUI system is right click the top/bottom menu's and make them semi-transparent..

You can assign keyboard shortcuts to anything you want.. if you want ctrl+alt+delete to make your system start playing music you can :P

its a bit annoying though.. I normally sudo pwd the root account and disable the standard users accounts from the sudoers wheel.

You haven't even tuned it for performance yet ! I spent about a day tuning a linux system.. boot time from loading screen to working console with mouse.... 7 seconds !

for future reference, ctrl+alt+F7 returns you to the GUI (assuming it is ofcourse started) F1 to F6 (by default) are virtual (non graphical) terminals.

They are the building blocks for building custom modules for your kernel.. and basically anything else that involves re-using code from the kernel.

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf.oldbackup

Like I said its easy to fix.. but your gonna need to be able to log into your own machine lol ! log into the text terminal and edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as Simon mentioned, or install the proper binary from Nvidia by doing the following. sudo apt-get install wget wget...

No.. not a new install ! Its quite frustrating as I can fix it in 2 seconds but to explain takes ages ! just a case of downloading driver from nvidia, droping to a terminal running the nvidia installed in sudo, letting it compile the module the restarting the GDM.

Just re-done the nvidia drivers on my system as i've just installed compiz fusion :D http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ImW0-MgR8I It rocks !! PS. Gnome does look very plain initially.. just visit http://gnome-look.org or install compiz fusion after you setup your nvidia drivers for some serious...

Ah, thats rings a bell now you mention it.. remember thinking should I or not heh.. decided to save them money and just burn my own ;)

Your system is not attempting to boot from the CD.

Did you buy them from Ubuntu ?

Good job on the checksums.. now you know your download was perfect. Pitty 8x is the slowest but should be ok. Ubuntu has an inbuilt disk checker you can use to verify the burn is OK also nero can do a data verification for you.

^^ He's right. The 'problem' with Ubuntu, is it verifies itself at every step of the way, if there is any problems with your hardware... or the download of the ISO or even burning it to disk it WILL let you know !! why install a faulty program. Downloading a large file can introduce the...

Thats about right when you take TCP overheads into account.

Good episode, as said not as good as last week but still funny ! Also loved the bit about switching off the firewalls and him pointing out the danger as the guy falls past the windows lol

Chris 1.4 RT... Sent you a PM

Nah, just been in .. they told me to f**k off.. then as I was leaving through the doors I thought I heard them say.. "GEEEK !" :rasp:

^^ lol

Create your own ! http://mobilecodes.nokia.com/create.jsp

What ? use the barcode scanner on nokia mobiles.

Pain in the ass really. A lot of sysadmins used it.

;)

Normally I could help you out no probs, but i'm so busy at work just now. If you get stuck let me know. There are plenty of people on here that do web design though.

They could see where the connection is too, but all traffic is encrypted. I use my linux system at work to SSH into my home system and launch a web browser. All traffic/requests etc are tunnelled through the SSH connection and are therfor encrypted and unreadable even at the packet level. No...

Camera, some software, laser pen, powerfull video projector.

Fans will be struggling.. but at least they will be well lubricated ;)
