I want to base my computer on linux – ubuntu 7.10, but i have programs that can only be used by windows, is there a way to install windows on a flash drive, or have a windows live cd? or do i have to just dual OS my computer?

ubuntu linux install problem?

Posted on April 27, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

Well, I put in the Ubuntu 7.10 CD. I did all the partitioning and installing. Then it prompted for me to reboot. So I press ‘restart’, and I take the live CD out and push the CD drive back in. I see the ubuntu screen, and the orange bar starts diminishing and getting smaller. But then, it just freezes there. The computer won’t reboot and the ubuntu screen just freezes.
Help! What should I do? It’s been frozen for about half an hour now…

I have a Dell Poweredge 2550 server with 5 hard drives, only one of which I have not had trouble with.?

I want to know which distro of Linux I should load on it. I have tried openSUSE live CD, Ubuntu 7.10 live CD, Fedora Core live cd, and the Ubuntu 6.04 Dapper Drake LTS live CD which is the only one that worked. The ubuntu server 7.10 froze at 21 percent twice with 2 different downloads and cd’s, and so did the Ubuntu 7.10 alternate. I am currently trying the opensuse non live cd. I just want to use it as a file server and to browse the web and stuff like that. It has 2 933mhz prosessors, and 1 gb of memory. Thanks in advance!

Thinking of buyin g a laptop to use with ubuntu?!?

Posted on April 20, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I’ve been thinking of buying a laptop to start testing out Linux OS and some Java programming, the only problem is the hardware compatibility i read that using a Live-CD before installing is the most effective way, but the point is I’m deciding the laptop in base on it’s compatibility so can’t really try it out, anyway i got my eyes on the DELL Inspiron 1520 & 1525, reading around i found out that dell supports Ubuntu, but at the same time some say that vista drivers are not compatible so kinda confused any help would be appreciated!! THX in advance
