    Thin client solutions on Ubuntu, Edubuntu (Linux based OS)

    Try this link: http://www.displaylink.com/zero_client/userful.php The hardware is a DisplayLink based thin-client (they call it a zero client). You have a small box which connects a keyboard, mouse and monitor to a host PC, generally through a single USB cable. You can have as many of these...

    Intel i7-2600k or Intel i5-2500K ?

    I don't know if I agree with many of the other posters. The only thing that Core i7 does better than Core i5 is drain your wallet faster. It's a lot more money for not that much more performance. Unless you do a very large amount of high-end work like 3-d rendering or transcoding video, Core i5...

    Cannot load operating system! Please help!

    Sounds like a hard drive is starting to go bad. Try removing it (if it's easy to get to) and re-installing it. Sometimes the connectors come loose. If that's not it then I'm afraid you're screwed. You have a recent backup of your work, right?

    Windows or Linux?

    Unless you need a particular Windows app, there's no reason to run Windows as your primary operating system. Even if you do, you can run Windows from within Linux using Virtualbox which is a free download from Oracle. I run the latest version of Ubuntu on my Dell laptop, and have had no real...

    Why do people hate people for their religions?

    Here's a syllogism. If you agree that: 1. There is more than one religion. 2. At least two or more of these religions believe everyone ELSE is going to hell. 3. Membership in any one religion is mutually exclusive of the others. You cannot, for example, simultaneously be a Christian and a...

    Which is the best internet security suite?

    I agree with many of the other posts, security software wastes system resources and makes your system unacceptably slow. I don't run anything. In fact, first thing I usually do with a new windows machine is start taking OUT the security programs (or at least the more worthless ones like McAfee)...

    Virtual Disc??

    A company called DeKart has a free windows program called Private Disk Light that creates a virtual encrypted hard drive. Try getting it from http://www.dekart.com/pub/products/Private%20Disk%20Light/current/English/PrvDiskLight.exe TrueCrypt is also good, but Private Disk is easier to set up...

    Beating the FB blues

    Can you host the website locally on your own server? No-ip.com will give you up to 5 free hostnames you can point to your local machine. Hopefully none of them are blocked by FB. You just have to set up a dynamic update client if it's not a static IP address. I use no-ip.com for remote access to...

    Unsuspend SMP2163869

    I have a pending unsuspend request - XGAj3pcR0xKr, but your latest forum message said to create a support request to unsuspend an account. Sorry you had so much trouble with the migration, seems like these things never go right (I know from experience). Hopefully it won't need to be done again...
