I''ve been wondering lately, what language is Linux written in? I'm interested in
this, because my friend and I are considering writing our own distro. I know, it sounds like a bit
of a feat, but one guy wrote MEPIS by playing with the Debian source code. I think the two of us
could do something similar. /tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif'

Many face problem while transfering file from Linux to windows and Vise versa. My solution for
this is "winscp405". Winscp is a windows freeware tool used to copy file from & to Linux machine.
To get this tool just google for " winscp405" tool and download this small package and install.
Enjoy working with Linux and windows /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P"

I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn'...

Ok I have tried Linux before, it was ok, until something with the kernel screwed up and it left me
with a command line interface that I didn't know what to do. I am looking for 2 different
distributions of Linux here, my first one is for: (Currently running Windows XP SP2) A computer
with 512 MB RAM Pentium 4 processor Internet Access GNOME or KDE desktop, doesn't matter Minimal
command line work!!! Absolutely no command line work when installing. I have tried
Ubuntu, it was easy enough. Anything easier than Ubuntu and I'll give it a try. M...

I have been using Ubuntu 7.10 for about a month now. My experiance began when I sent a request for a
free CD to be mailed to me. Several weeks later, it arrived, however I was reluctant at first to
install it, as there was much hassle when I attempted to install my BCM43xx wireless network drivers
for another distro, Suse. Although I had ran a server on Linux for a while previously, it was easy
to do as Linux automatically detected the wireless network card I was using. This was on an older
computer that I ran the server. On my current pc, a Dell Inspiron 1300 Laptop, a ...

Which Linux distru is for beginners and Easy to install?...

According to the author's opinion, the answer is yes (he's a lawyer, from what I can tell).
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/17/triumph_of_linux/ The article also contains some
interesting facts about the devious ways in which Microsoft is trying to derail Linux, most recently
through vague legal threats to enforce patents against Linux distributors that it does not partner
with. Personally I think Linux could become the dominant OS, but many, many years from now....

Ok here is a challenge to all the hardcore linux folks out there. I will greatly accept the switch
if it can be proven that Games will run as good under linux as they do under windows. Im a windows
guy at heart, but I do work on unix systems at work. Im a gamer, and that will never change. I had
switched over to linux about 4 years ago, and I couldnt play crap on linux without dual booting to
windows. (I think it was Wine emulation they were running under) Now have there been some
improvements in being able to play windows games smoothly on linux? If so, please let me...

Virtualization is a relatively arcane subject, but it is one which is very rapidly growing, and
apparently very "hot" in commercial enterprises. For the hobbyist with multiple computers (I have
8), it offers the possibility of taking snapshots of running, fully configured applications and
operating systems, and transferring some or all of them onto a single computer platform. First, it
saves energy. Second, once the conversion has been made from real hardware to a virtual "guest,"
the driver problems associated with moving from one hardware platform to another are sol...

I first submitted this tutorial a couple of months ago over at http://linuxiso.org/forums as user
adpsimpson. Having spent ages wishing the hotkeys on my laptop would work, I spent most of an
afternoon looking into it. Since no site I found explained it satisfactorily, here's my
method... The first step is to find out which of the keys are registered by the kernel, and what
their keycodes are (the unique event number that they cause). To do this you need a program called
xev, (in Mandrake this is part of X11R6-contrib, is installed by default in Slack, and should...

This is a simple tutorial on the editors in Linux. I use these 3 editors for programming on linux:
1. vi -- available in all Linux and unix box, used to edit 2. vim -- not in all Linux flavors

view, recommended to use for viewing of system config files, as it should not get edited without
