    GNOME or KDE, whats the difference?

    You're misunderstanding what Brazen said. KDE and Gnome aren't versions of an operating system, so there can't be a Home or Pro version. They're just different GUIs that you can put over the same base install (they're called desktop environments). A default KDE or Gnome install on a given...

    Linux SUCKS and should never be used by human beings.

    Ha, I can't believe I'd log in to respond to such a dolt of a troll, but I just kinda had to laugh at you a little. I've never told anyone to RTFM, but your attitude merits it. You're an insult to windows users everywhere, a damn hard group to insult.

    How-to Erase a Hard Drive?

    If you're installing XP, you're writing data over the disk, which is what zeroing the disk would do anyway. Defrag before and after install, should be fine.

    [Ubuntu] VMWare / xorg

    I don't see the problem. I get the same error when actually trying the 'Full Screen' button, but why bother. Set the resolution in the OS you're using in VMWare to your desktop res, and then use the 'Quick Switch' button (F11).

    IE7 to be distributed via Automatic Updates!

    I think it could cause a few problems, but not like people think. Personally, I'm glad they're doing it as a webdev because then I can forget about the pisspoor mockup of a browser that is IE6. Of course, I'm cynical and anticipate more CSS blunders that are going to require arcane...

    How to add hard drives in debian gnu/linux

    Linux did see them -- his issue was that his bootable array was renamed when his distro added the drives (it shouldn't have, imo), thus messing up which drive he's booting from. A quick grub menu.lst edit can fix that.

    How to install Linux - But keep Windows key..

    Sounds like that to me too, Brazen. You can get your key via TweakXP (http://www.totalidea.com/content/tweakxp/tweakxp-index.html). It's shareware, but you only need to run the program once. It's visible in one of the first windows (I'm on Linux and can't verify which, sorry).

    Is Linux Rolling Over In Its Grave?

    There isn't a "need" for a "separate" Ubuntu and Xubuntu. Kubuntu and Xubuntu are just prepackaged ISOs that ship with a different default GUI. You can install Ubuntu (default Gnome) and install XFCE, KDE, or whatever afterwards.

    What does Microsoft need to change before we buy Vista?

    Apparently this comes from Microsoft -- a .doc file is available via Google. You can get Google's HTML version as the first link here (I tried to direct link and the AT board spit out the code poorly). This is little news to people who have read Microsoft's EULAs (and most proprietary...

    Photoshop in Linux

    If you learn the shortcuts (or configure them to your liking -- you can mimic Photoshop's if you want) then there's no need to alt-tab -- in your image window, pressing Shift+E will get you your eraser, just like in PS.

    Photoshop in Linux

    Define "toolbars". You mean the layers/history dialogs? You can mix and match those just like Photoshop. Photoshop on Mac has the same multi-window layout as the Gimp does. IMO the one-window-to-rule-them-all approach of Photoshop on Windows sucks.

    linux kernal compile guide?

    You really have to know your computer and what you're going to be doing with it if you want to compile the kernel (unless you want to just build *everything* in). Basically, read the help pages... they usually explain what each option is for.

    Is Linux ready yet for typical home desktop users?

    Tips/Tricks for Ubuntu 6.06?

    It's probably unrelated, but maybe you should stop the dock plugin. Compiz was crashing for me regularly with dock on, who knows what else it could mess up. After that, I haven't had a single crash with Compiz and it's pretty stable surprisingly.

    Future availability of Ubuntu and other Linux distros

    The GPL does not aim to PREVENT it from being distributed, it actively ENCOURAGES it. I think you meant remuneration. And no, the GPL is a software license and not a contractual agreement on what individuals do in their daily lives, and makes no provisions on an individual's future decisions...

    Future availability of Ubuntu and other Linux distros

    Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper

    This isn't your fault or that of the Ubuntu forums. I was in the same boat as you, but then some figured out that the evdev driver that the buttons' functionality relies on is broken. See the Ubuntu thread and the bug report.

    Linux noob: Suse 10.1 slow bootup time?

    Disable all services that you aren't going to need. YaST probably has some GUI for this, but if not install sysv-rc-conf (I assume SUSE uses /etc/rc{runlevel}.d/ for services--otherwise this tool won't help you) and you can run it inside a terminal. Like SleepWalkerX said, just make SURE you...
