    What happened to linux netbooks?

    Wait what's this talk about you can't ask personal computer questions? The basis of the forum may be professional, but the fact there are "technical" class users is counter intuitive. I joined this site because I needed help with issues we have here in my IT position. Yes I take classes, but...

    What happened to linux netbooks?

    kjv1611 ... I started replying to your post. It quickly became more then a page. You simply did not understand a single thing I wrote. Your dead lock on business business business. As other pointed out, this in-particular post.. was not about business. We are not talking about ordering 100...

    What happened to linux netbooks?

    wow a lot of replies. Thanks for the links btw! Going to kinda shot gun some of the replies here.. first, "finding drivers" for their Linux distro. maybe half a days work for an intern. Technically Linux should do that on its own =) Sure a lot of people, maybe 80% would insist on XP, etc. I'd...

    What happened to linux netbooks?

    yeah but the point of a netbook is to get a cheap, small computer... why pay 30% of your product in an OS your not going to use?

    What happened to linux netbooks?

    Netbooks have been based of linux, now I HAVE to buy a M$ product? I'm just looking for a EEE, fairly built up with any flavor of linux. I'll be using it to code while in my boring lectures next semester. Also my asus G2 is too fracking heavy to take to class any more.

    XP wont kill applications on shut off!

    The problem is I'm not closing it. If I remembered firefox would pester me every time, this wouldn't be an issue. I'm just used to windows L and leaving quickly. Hmm genomon, that may the the same as the registry value I edited, I'll look into it, thanks!

    XP wont kill applications on shut off!

    Hi. I'm having this issue. I went in, edited the registry so that XP will kill applications, but Firefox isn't complying. Meaning for the third time this month, I've come to my station to see my computer has been left on, with the message, "firefox will not close, end now?" and firefox asking...

    Software to automate XP instalations for my company

    I'm not that worried about SIDs. I email M$ and looked into that software. They gave me a link to their forums, rather then answering me. After 2 hours+ I can't see cut and paste if it does what I need. I think I want to look for a different software suite.

    Software to automate XP instalations for my company

    The company is about 150 people. The company has grown by about 100% this last year, so there is a lot of work for me. SIDs, oh the joys of SIDs. I'm going to look into this MSMS.

    Software to automate XP instalations for my company

    close, but it doesn't seem to be exactly what I need it to do. I don't see anything about it logging on to a domain and renaming the computer and or updating. I see the option for logging on and a few others like shut down..
