i have ubuntu linux
i dont want answer from this site

http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/…

in there site they talking about a winPE CD
and i dont know from where to get it

I am wanting to start using linux but i dont want to lose vista. How can i dual boot Mandriva. I have tried ubuntu and it does not work so i thought i would try something different.

I am running Fedora Core 5 on my laptop and I have Windows XP Media Center on my desktop which is connected to the internet via LAN. I want to know how I can connect to the internet from my laptop using my desktop’s net connection. I already have all the physical connections set up (network adapters and cable) and I’m already using my network for file sharing. Please don’t offer any suggestions on using Linux as host (I already know how much safer it is). I want help on dealing with situation as it.

Incidentally, I’m also facing trouble using ICS from my XP partition on the laptop. It used to work flawlessly before, but I think after I installed Fedora it stopped working (although file and printer sharing areOK). I ran the ICS wizard again on each comp, but it didn’t work. Any suggestions on what might cause that?

it will never be ready. do you have any suggestions? been using linux for a year . and honestly it JUST doesnt quite poping up with issues, from hardware configuration to teh damn xorg.conf, i gave up on it. doesnt work on my new laptop no matter what i do. and use dto work on my old one but now it just breaks everytime i restart. i tried ubuntu, pclinuxos, opensuse, dreamlinux !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been using linux for a while now. maybe a year and a half if not more. i used ubuntu, mint, fedora, opensuse, mandriva and currently pclinuxos(that i stuck with). Being the fact that linux is free, how do you view the fact that it is being sold for 20$ at best buy? at first i thought it was a great idea, but it got me thinking. WHat would Joe say if he payed for it then later on discovered that it is actually a free OS distributed across the web? I know support is included and its the support’s price. But shouldnt they release a free copy with no support and as an additional package you can get the support? or is the 20$ price tag really will get people’s attention? Because people usually think that cheap software = bad/ unsupported software !! how about an increase in price lets say 80$ with a year worth of support! just an opinion what do you think?
