could you explain me a little more what's the difference between all those?
read about : /dev/hda /dev/hdb etc

(right now i'm re-partitioning my test pc)

[Leonardo]

btw... greetings from Linux!

btw... greetings from Linux!

woo ... that was quick. So, which distro did you end up installing ?

[Leonardo]

actually I have been playing with linux all morning, but this pc was not connected on-line, so I was texting from my other pc that has xp.
I'm running
ubuntu

and now I'm wondering how to install different themes

You are getting fancy already

[JCAddy]

Did you end up doing a multi platform system?

Was it easy? I'm interested in doing this as well.

[Leonardo]

it's so easy... I would say much easy than installing windows

first, you don't even need to install it to try it. Just download the bootable cd and you can run linux already without installing it (ubuntu).
Once I was done playing, for a bit

I de-fragmented my hd using windows that took the longest. then I restarted the pc using the ubuntu bootable cd.

and followed the 6 steps to install it.

In one of those steps I was able to reconfigured my partitions (I made two new partitions)
other steps were like: name, pass, and timezone

and that was it.

you can install linux while surfing online

I didn't have anything important on my hd... but what I had it's still there. Windows work.

I didn't had to type any cd-keys to install anything and it comes with "MS-office style" tools like word processor etc.

[JCAddy]

slick!

I just might do this tonight.

haha, now *that*...is happiness...

[Leonardo]

I'm back at home.... man I can't stand windows anymore

does anyone know how to install linux in a PSP

[Leonardo]

I got a couple of questions:

how do you map a network drive?
would it be okay to run Autocad and photoshop using wine?

[-Adrian]

would it be okay to run Autocad and photoshop using wine?

welcome to Linux world!

Google around a bit, i heard some people got CS2 to work "ok" on Wine, no idea about Autocad though.

For those who haven't got a Photoshop license yet, Pixel might be worth a look. Not stable yet but fast, multi-platform and with a very similar interface.

[Fernando Tella]

Pixel looks nice! Thx

Still very buggy, but nice.

[Leonardo]

pixel looks very nice... but I like free things better
when using wine... what do I do?
reinstall the program again? or can I run it from my windows partition?

I couldn't run different themes yesterday in my pc at work, so when I went home I downloaded dreamlinux (the one that looks like a OSx...pretty cool! )

If I can't figure out how to change themes, I'll try to install Kabuntu and try it too... just to get an idea of what is around.

[Leonardo]

beryl is crazy!!!

talk about having a fancy theme
