With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. falko Thu, 04 Aug 2011 08:20:46 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-on-a-fedora-16-gnome-classic-desktop-nvidia-geforce-8100 This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz on a Fedora 16 GNOME classic desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 8100 here). With Compiz you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. I will use the free nouveau driver in this tutorial instead of the proprietary NVIDIA driver. nouveau is an accelerated Open Source driver for NVIDIA cards that comes with experimental 3D support on Fedora 16 - on my test system 3D support was working without any problems. falko Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:57:47 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-on-linux-mint-12-gnome-12 This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz on a Linux Mint 12 Lisa desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 8200 here). With Compiz you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. Compiz is not supported on GNOME 3 yet, that's why this how-to is applicable only for the classic GNOME desktop. falko Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:57:43 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-on-xubuntu-11.10-oneiric-ocelot This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz on a Xubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 8200 here). Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment which is a fast and stable alternative for those that are not happy with Unity or Gnome 3. With Compiz you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. falko Sun, 04 Dec 2011 16:01:58 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/configure-remote-access-to-your-ubuntu-desktop This guide explains how you can enable a remote desktop on an Ubuntu desktop so that you can access and control it remotely. This makes sense for example if you have customers that are not very tech-savvy. If they have a problem, you can log in to their desktops without the need to drive to their location. I will also show how to access the remote Ubuntu desktop from a Windows XP client and an Ubuntu client. falko Thu, 14 Feb 2008 13:13:00 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/sane_xsane_scanner This article shows how you can make your scanner (SCSI or USB) work with SANE/XSANE from a normal user account without getting permission errors. falko Sat, 07 Apr 2007 01:33:41 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/convert_songs_to_mp3_ogg_with_k3b This guide describes how you can use the CD/DVD burning application K3b to convert songs from an audio CD into MP3 or Ogg files that you can use on your MP3 player, for example (if you choose the Ogg format, your MP3 player must support it). falko Thu, 09 Aug 2007 10:17:59 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/ntfs_3g_ubuntu_feisty Normally Linux systems can only read from Windows NTFS partitions, but not write to them which can be very annoying if you have to work with Linux and Windows systems. This is where ntfs-3g comes into play. ntfs-3g is an open source, freely available NTFS driver for Linux with read and write support. This tutorial shows how to install and use ntfs-3g on an Ubuntu Feisty Fawn desktop to read from and write to Windows NTFS drives and partitions. falko Mon, 10 Sep 2007 09:05:34 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-cinnamon-desktop-on-fedora-18 This tutorial shows how you can install Linux Mint's Cinnamon desktop on Fedora 18. Since it has now been included in the repositories this can now be done quite quickly. Fedora's default desktop at the moment is GNOME 3. falko Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:41:34 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_internet_explorer This guide shows how to install three different Internet Explorer versions (6.0, 5.5, and 5.0) on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, Edgy Eft and Dapper Drake desktops. This is good for people such as web designers who have switched to Linux but still need to test their web sites in Internet Explorer. In addition to that, there are still a few web sites out there that work only in Internet Explorer. falko Fri, 13 Apr 2007 10:19:17 GMT
