    Moving from Windows to Linux Desktop ?

    Yes you can. Although I'm not sure NTFS mounting is supported by RedHat initial setup. If your windows drive is on the first partition on the first disk you can do this. Create a directory under /mnt (or anywhere you like) mkdir mnt mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 path_to_mnt_directory Now you...

    Dual Channel DDR on Pentium 4 vs Athlon XP

    It is a widespread misunderstanding that 64-bit programs are inherently faster than 32-bit ones. It is most often the other way around. The main difference between 32-bit CPU's and 64-bit ones is that 64-bit ones can address (i.e. use) a gazillion megabytes of RAM while 32-bit ones can use only...

    Open Source consulting firm

    Well, I didn't even think of supporting whatever the client needs. If the client needs something I have never heard of I could be in big trouble, but then again, my experience with working with open source programmers (authors of projects) and how the Open Source business model works could in...

    Shockwave (not flash) player for Linux?

    I forgot to mention that mozilla-mplayer is a plugin for the Mozilla web browser (Maybe it was obvious). So it's very convenient. Visit www.doc2pdf.net for a free, no need to register, .doc (MS Word) to .pdf (Acrobat) file conversion.

    thinking about getting linux

    I recommend Knoppix. You can just drop it in your CD drive and it boots. If you don't like it, remove the CD and reboot. No harm has been done. Otherwise, you can install it on the hard disk or try other distributions. For beginners I recommend Suse. For the experienced, Debian. Visit...

    Shockwave (not flash) player for Linux?

    I think (but not quite sure) that mplayer plays shockwave files. You can even download mozilla-mplayer which will play almost every codec there is, including shockwave (I think). Visit www.doc2pdf.net for a free, no need to register, .doc (MS Word) to .pdf (Acrobat) file conversion.

    Moving from Windows to Linux Desktop ?

    You can use Evolution which is Linux's answer to Outlook. It works and looks just like MS Outlook. Visit www.doc2pdf.net for a free, no need to register, .doc (MS Word) to .pdf (Acrobat) file conversion.

    Open Source consulting firm

    I have this idea of a business. There is no equivalent firm offering these services where I am located (yet). Apparently, Open Source software is on the rise. Where I am located, I think it's just a matter of time when the government starts moving from proprietary to open solutions. The big...

    Elite Thinking

    You have asked a question which is difficult to answer. This is a problem which every human being suffers from. I must praise you for trying to address the issue, most people wouldn't even care. There is no easy way to get rid of this behavior as it is something that just is in our genes. I...

    Dead computer?

    Make sure the motherboard isn't touching the case. Then it is grounded and nothing happens when you turn the power on. Visit www.doc2pdf.net for a free, no need to register, .doc (MS Word) to .pdf (Acrobat) file conversion.

    My PC won't stay on!! Power supply failure?

    Isn't the computer supposed make some special combination of beeps if the CPU is fried? Otherwise, if you have made any upgrades to your computer the new component may been consuming excessive amounts of power (for instance, graphics card). There is also the possibility that the motherboard or...
