True Type Fonts In Linux - Installation/configuration required?

If I want to use Linux, would I need XP or a OS on a LAPTOP already? Or can I just pure boot Linux?

different things. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" I don't know, I have never

If you have a dual-boot Windows/Linux system, you probably know this problem: you can access files
from your Windows installation while you are in Linux, but not the other way round. This tutorial
shows three ways how you can access your Linux partitions (with ext2 or ext3 filesystem) from within
Windows: http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-par...ns-from-windows

Most of the guys want to access Linux box from Windows machine just to do some programming on the
command line. The "Putty Tool" is the solution for this. Just google for "Putty" and download this
small package(less then 1MB) and keep it on your desktop. Just you need to configure the linux
machine IP on this Putty tool and connect to Linux machine. If you face any problem in configuring
Linux IP, then let me know, i will help you out. If you think this is help full, please rate this....

are they even made by the same people...?...

open-source, but does that mean that it is free? I have no idea on the matter so I decided to
consult the forums. ...

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 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'...

Hi All, I want to learn when and what is your first experience of linux? Mine is; 1996 first
install of linux. 1995 first time I heard of linux. I remember how I was happy and how I was curious
about linux. I was bored of Windows. It was not the OS I was dreaming of. It was not completely
flexible. I was feeling that windows is not the edge of the computer tech. There are something wrong
about windows. And Linux was like a dream for me.. I remember how I tried to get a linux distro. I
remember how I installed it.. How excited I was. It was incredible.. The linux I ins...

Hi, well i have been a windows user all my life, and I'm really satisfied with it. But from a
time know as a good programmer/user, I want to know what I'm missing(or not) from not using
linux, so for those who have a long time using it I would like you to ask a favor, if you could
recommend me the version that I should test. I don't understand when someone says to a newbie in
linux that is asking for a version to start, they say to them "well ubuntu(example) is a good
version to start", what are the real diference between the different types of linux. ...

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'
