I didnt read all of the posts, maybe it was already mentioned... Have you ever used google Docs? It sounds like a magic app, but i dont really know anyone using it. Heard of Amazon S3? Cheap online storage. This is cloud computing. Mix this with web 2.0 I'm certain "cloud computing"...

This would save me A LOT of time:

Great article!!! it's no 8800 (strange to me on the number scheme) but hey for $75 i'll have a kick ass card way better than my radeon X800 breathing a little life into my older P4 w/ HT.

Have Win7 RC, but dont really have a use for it. since i use the other two and of course THE MAC.

your notes on heat came in handy, just happens, i bought a xotac geforce 9600gt today, looking forward to testing it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500043 of course i'm not PCIe 2.0, only 1.0 want a 64GB SSD soon.

I run a WinXP VM for a surveillance camera management system and i run a xubuntu VM for torrents, browsing, & testing linux junk. ...and oops, musta been speed reading. :dunno: and to bring it back closer to the GoogleOS discussion, after trying the gOS (not google OS) i just deleted it...

I run two VM's on a Mac Pro at all times (at work), and i have to say they fly. 6GB, + two GeForce 8800's. p.s. Mac is BSD based not linux. similar but different.

the easiest way to chmod is to use the chmod command, lol. if you dont know how to use it, in the terminal, type "man chmod", it will display some info, use up and down arrows to scroll, press "q" to quit. chmod commands that are useful might include: chmod +x filename -- add executable...

i really don't know what your issue is, but maybe try java straight from the source: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp not that i tried, but i'd go for the second one in the linux list. it's a .bin file.

no, i think it's the same, all depends on your video card and if the driver has a config utility, otherwise you'll be editing the xorg.conf. you probably have a low end graphic card. but none the less, video config always aggravated me in linux. personally, i'm about to upgrade to an nvidia...

"sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (sudo <- root mode / mousepad <- editor)

i guess it totally depends on the software, let me go through a few examples: say i want to install the software "htop" because it's way cooler than "top" -- it's just a process monitor, but i use it none the less. the command line apt-get and the gui synaptic is basically the same thing, but...

in Synaptic (Applications->System->Synaptic Package Manager) you can search, for example search "Java" and read through the results and narrow down to what you want. Also, according to the link you provided (here), it shows that you can do "apt-cache search <something>" and of course you can...

yes, most likely your root pass = your user pass. this can be changed is Users and Groups, but not necessary. first off, you may not even need an anti-virus... yes you can get them, but it's a lot less likely than Windows. http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ See the very first link. It's...

Not to step on ichwar's toes...but i would refrain from installing Gnome since you are running a pentium 3 with low ram. but what's cool is you can install it and if it's slower, then from your login screen options, you can simply choose xfce as your session again. Also, i too use the...

I have to agree that since you are new to linux, go Ubuntu... Since it's a Pentium 3, go Xubuntu. (Ubuntu with XFCE4). Go version 9.04. Google will be your best friend because you will certainly need to resolve things you never thought about and are new to. P.s. You will not be running...

I used to use Dreamweaver, but no longer; I'm trying to stay FREEWARE. I've tried to stick to Kompozer due to WYSIWYG; however; i find the source editing portion (text area) just not right. -- it shifts from basic text to formatted text and leaves out surrounding text... i just can't work like...

Yes i found that yesterday also. I'm trying the "gOS", it's ubuntu 8.04 stripped down running enlightenment. seems nicely basic, an OS for grandma. So I think "Cloud" will be ubuntu plus enlightenment plus chrome. The website said it's not affiliated with Google but I speculate otherwise...

MAYBE if they remove all Google-Analytics & AdSense activities. Did you know that if you login to google, they save all your search history unless you explicitly turn it off -- click on "My Account" and go to "Web History" Thank you Google for spying -- major privacy issue here people...

debia264, what is your source for open source ATI drivers? I've corrupted a few installs with ATI myself. Thank you, I've been using VirtualBox to test Linux for a couple years now. I always go back to ubuntu due to ease, but still use the terminal often. Actually I use Xubuntu (XFCE) most...
