Any idea what the problem could be? i tryed diffrent browsers and everything.

I'm having trouble loading certain sites, for some weird reason. Could you check these sites out and see if they load fine for you.

http://freshmeat.net

I have no idea why they won't load. :(

Linux is ten times better than any windows OS. I'm not even going to tell you why, find out for yourself..

I downloaded(suprnova.org) Revolution OS last night and watched it this morning, there was a lot of stuff i never knew about linux and it was great to learn about, after watching this film i felt like running outside naked with Linux painted across my body, but that might be a bad idea, i would probally get arrested. :P

Anyway i think everyone should get this dvd, now that ive seen it i will probally go to the shop and buy it, just as a thank you i suppose. :D I didn't know redhat used to be one of the most used linux distros, that came as a suprise. (because most people say it's crap) if anyone can't get it via BT send me a pm and i will set you up a private ftp account for it. :)

Well as i said in another post, i formatted my windows partiton last night and well im so happy i did. I think the film was made in 2001 so does anyone have any stats if more people are using linux than what they were in 2001, i want linux to grow and for more people to be able to use it, i don't want it to fade away. Do you think linux will fade away or do you think it will grow bigger and bigger.

Sometimes i wish they did. Sorry to be such a faggot i have the cold and get impatient easily. Anyway i found what i was looking for. Thanks anyway

Well it's been a few days since i was in my xp partition, anyway it loaded up (taking forever as usual) i started up firefox browsed a few things and the next thing you know "Virus Detected" how annoying, i was so annoyed i just went and formatted my xp partition. Am i crazy or what? :P

For F*ck sake man, does anyone read these topics. *bump*

What's the best software to run a private ftp server? when i was in the windows world i used BPFTP is there anything similar?

Dynamic Ip address. I'm not to bothered because it doesn't seem to affect speeds, but oh well.

When i download stuff with Azureus the little face thing is always yellow, when i highlight it says you may have a NAT probelm, i don't have a router ot anything, im using a D-link 300T ethernet modem and no firewall software, that i know of. So any ideas how to fix it? i also have some problems with other P2P clients. (like xmule)

Come on, someone must know.

That fixed it, thanks. :) one more problem though, in gaim the text is so small. Anyway to change it?

Yeah that helped, but when i browse my files that font still looks messed up.

I went messing with the fonts last night, now everything looks a mess. I hit Default Fonts and nothing changes! so could someone post what fonts they have.

Is there anyway to convert ntfs partions to fat32 on linux, without data loss? i guess the answers no, but it doesn't hurt to ask. ;)

I installed the package nocturnes mentioned, but still no joy, can't even view webpages with kanji. :(

EDIT: ok i can now see it in webpages, but i still can't see it on files.

Yes, i think thats what i did. :unsure:

Oh i see, sorry i never knew that. *slaps forehead*

I don't really understand these things, but hey it works, i suppose thats all that matters.

hmm i think KDE is using an awful lot of ram, any way to lower it a bit?

Figured it out, had to set it to "detect IP address automatically".

Hmm im not to sure about that, never came across that problem, im sure one of the others will help you. I have only been using linux for 2-3 weeks now ;)

If you install the correct bootloader. Yes you will be able to, for example.

Linux

Win XP

Well you could go back into rescue mode and install the other bootloader (think it's called lilo)
