Here's a screenshots of my netbook(<span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10px"><span style="font-size:10px"><span style="color:#444444"><span style="color:#515151">Asus Eee 12.1" 1215B-SIV128M) running on Fedora 16 XFCE. I actually like it alot better than Gnome 3. If All linux distros decide to use Gnome 3. I'm switching to XFCE

</span></span></span></span></span>:)

 

I downloaded a bluray disk containing two directories: BDMV and CERTIFICATE. Below that are some more directories.

example: streaming, playlist etc. I can play the files one by one. But I actually want to play it as if it were a disk. Cuz

it's an interactive video type thing where you can click through the menu's. Been looking around

but not been able to figure it out yet.

I decided to try and install fedora 16 xfce on my netbook and I got it installed. However it wasn't able to detect the wireless so I installed the driver. It's showing up when I run lspci but seems like it's not loaded cuz my network manager isn't detecting anything and when I run ifconfig I have no wlan0 showing up.

 

Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)

 

Sound is working now. Just need to get this wireless thing figured out.

 

 

[root@feedmebits-net ~]# modprobe brcm80211

FATAL: Module brcm80211 not found.

[root@feedmebits-net ~]# iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions.

 

p5p1 no wireless extensions.

 

I came across an interesting article showing the statistics about what distro is the most popular as a webserver. It was CentOS

but just recently Debian took that position back. With Ubuntu in 3rd place but not even close to be being 2nd. I wonder why

Debian has become more popular then CentOS as a webserver and why webmast favorite distros change so quickly. Interesting

to see how there are a variety of linux distros all used as webservers even though I expected before I came across this that most

webservers would be CentOS/RHEL. Interesting how wrong our perception of things can be sometimes. I'm still running SL as

a webserver, and have never used Debian as a webserver before. Does make me curious and thinking of maybe trying debian as

a webserver just to feel and see the differences. What does your webserver run on?

Awesome to hear a story like this that Linux migration from windows to Linux has been a a success. I was thinking now days with so many countries in financial trouble and have to cut down on expenses. Replacing windows with Linux with cut down on quite a bit of expenses. The only downside of it would be that it would take a lot of time to plan and it may cost alot, but it would only be a one time project thing. Once they get it setup and running their expensive would go down when using opensource software and not having to buy windows licenses and alot of other software licenses. For most software you have an opensource alternative and for the ones that you don't. You'll have extra to spend on licenses from where you saved on. And if more governments started doing this there would be more Linux development and eventually there would be an alternative for Linux for most windows software. That way home consumers would feel more free/comfortable to try out Linux and eventually windows would become less needed/necessary than it is today. Only thing is getting used to a new OS takes time. Well that's just my thought of saving money in this financial crisis time.

i have a compaq presario v2000 laptop with 1gb memory, 250gb hd,amd turion 64 mobile processor.Windows went wonkity on it, so i d/ld and made a slax dvd .I'm running that dvd with slax on it now, and am wondering how to put it on my hard drive.

 

any help would be appreciated.( won't let me save an iso, cause all i'm running is off the dvd.)

is it possible to add another user/password to my already configured .htpasswd file ?

Hey Everyone!!

 

Happy New year to you all and best wishes for 2012 and wish you all health and happiness and more Linux fun [img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png[/img]

What does your setup look like at home? Here's mine :)

 

 

I got my notebook running on Debian. Was able to install from usb, that took ages though lol. I have installed the video drivers for the videocard, I got my wireless working.

Only thing not working is my sound which I should be able to get working by installing a backported kernel I was told. Still need to figure that out. And I am not able to play

1080p and 720p files normally. it shows but is extremly slow. I already installed debian multimedia repo and installed multimedia codecs. I did a quick search on the web

and I should be able to play 1080p with the videocard that it has. Any ideas?
