Buy 1, Get 1 Free - web hosting at SurpassHosting

I've been with them for 3 years now and I'm satisfied with their service. If I have trouble, I usually get a response that same day in a short amount of time, or the next day. Also, their control panel is great and their community (surmunity.com) help forum is a great tool, which you can even...

when i install windows it says i'm missing a file

As others have said, it could be a bad CD image or CD drive. I had this occur to me before, and one of the problems I found was that the PC had some bad memory.

Newegg: Australia?

The prices in Aus for computer parts tend to be a lot more than other countries. Take for example Scorptech.com.au Also, at times, it's rather hard to get the parts you want or need, even at their computer fairs. Last time I went there, I bought most of the parts from Newegg and took them...

Newegg: Australia?

I know the intended users for this forum are American, but I recently came across a Newegg website based in Australia. http://www.newegg.com.au From what I read at their forums, it's not associated with the real Newegg. I still find it wrong that they try to steal off Newegg's recognition. It...

Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 And Kubuntu Hoary 5.04 Released

Yes, it has Xorg. You can read the release notes as to what's included: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/ReleaseNotes504/ I'm curious to run Ubuntu, but there are somethings that make me not want to try it. One being the gnome menu editing problem. Sure I can use Kubuntu, but I read some...

Can someone tell me what OS this is?

I've come across that version of Linux, but I can't remember what it was. It could be a Filipino distro if I remember correctly. If you really want to know which one it is, I suggest you go to www.distrowatch.com and look at all the distros listed on the right side.

G-5 AND OSX

Well there's some CAD programs for Apple out there. Such as FreeCAD and Archicad. Also, I had some friends at SciArch who used Apple computers and some CAD program. I'm not exactly sure what's the name of the program. I'll probably ask soon. You could also use Virtual PC on OS X to run PC...

Free Xandros 3.0

No, WordPefect does not come with Xandros. W/P for Linux has been put on hold from Corel. If you type in "Linux" in the search in the following link, it'll give some info about Corel's decision. http://support.corel.com/scripts/rightnow.cfg/php.exe/enduser/std_alp.php If you want W/P for...

Free Xandros 3.0

Just because it works in Windows, doesn't mean it'll work in Linux or OS X. Oh wait, do you want to open an .exe file in Linux? Packages are handled differently and drivers must be strictly written for an operating system. Thanks to the open source community, they have developed drivers...

Free Xandros 3.0

Dragonbate thanks. I've always scanned through the Anandtech boards, but decided to post on something I enjoy and hopefully it will be better. That's the problem with Linux, some companies are not giving it support. So best is to contact these companies and let them know you want a Linux...

Free Xandros 3.0

I'm currently using it and I definitly like it. I also installed it on my brothers old 700 Mhz Athlon because he didn't want to use win 98 and XP wouldn't run on it. So I gave Xandros a shot and he definintely likes it. It's very easy to use as well. Here's a comparison chart detailing how the...
