Linux Question?

Posted on December 8, 2012 | 1 Comment

Ok, well my computer (Windows XP) just crashed, and I’ve done everything to try to fix it, and it won’t work this time, so I’ve resorted to using Linux. I have a Belkin Wireless Card and a disk with it that I want to install, but the Slax Linux that I have right now runs completely off of the disk so I can’t take the disk out to install it.

Do you have any suggestions for Linux OSs that would support a Belkin wireless card, and can install on my system so I can use the CD tray?
Please tell me this is possible!

which free os would be best suited for me?

Posted on October 18, 2012 | 1 Comment

okay, hi guys… im in a bind, i want to install a free os, such as ubuntu kubuntu linux fedora, anything like that with the interface, i need to put it on an external HDD and dual boot it with windows vista, i need this os simply for the internet, word processing, and possibly skype/msn, the more user friendly the os, the better for me, i have a live cd of ubuntu, the latest one, and i cant connect to wireless, i heard of ndiswrapper or something of the like could take my wireless card drivers from windows and intergrate it with ubuntu/linux, but if it had a built in support for a wireless card that would be even better, seeing as im not too good with those kind of things, anyways, any comments appreciated =]

Sound problem on Ubuntu?

Posted on September 6, 2012 | 1 Comment

I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Ubuntu so I decided to try it live CD. I liked the interface since it was different so I decided to do a duel boot with Windows XP. I installed all the updates for Ubuntu and even got my ATi Radeon 9550 working which I was happy about, but when it came to my sound card there was no driver. I have a Creative Sound Blaster PCI512 which I bought back when XP first came out because XP didn’t support the old AWE32 series until later. Well the card has drivers for Windows 98SE and XP but no Linux :( I hate having to buy sound cards because of OS changes and not because of a defect. I saw that there are drivers for the PCI128 which was a lower series than my card, so why no PCI512? Did my sound card fall through the crack between the PCI128 and Audigy series for Linux?
