- Dropline Neu! - GNOME-Look.org
Just like I promised, the first (public) preview release of the new Dropline NEU! icon set. What’s new about this one?, well… everything!!. I’ll start by saying that the icons have been resized to 48×48 and in this resize process every icon got modified :) . This release is compliant with FreeDesktop.org’s Icon Naming Specification (just like Giøn). It also includes 22×22, 24×24, 48×48 and 128×128 PNGs (for those of you who prefer use PNGs instead of SVG for performance) 16×16 is coming in the final release.

Note: Also, this time it doesn’t has all the apps icons it used to have, I’ve only implemented the basic ones, the rest will get in there, they just need some time. It uses symlinks instead of duplicating files (and filesize of course)… previous version had about 470 icons, this new version has over 3000! ...more! (and imagine how many they’ll be once I finish every app icon).
- Linux is Not Windows
If you've been pointed at this page, then the chances are you're a relatively new Linux user who's having some problems making the switch from Windows to Linux. This causes many problems for many people, hence this article was written. Many individual issues arise from this single problem, so the page is broken down into multiple problem areas. If you really want the security and performance of a Unix-based OS but with a customer-focussed attitude and an world-renowned interface: Buy an Apple Mac. OS X is great. But don't get Linux: It will not do what you want it to do.
in Computing > Linux with article comparison convert converting foss good internet issues linux open problems source windows by 4 users
Note: If you really just want Windows without the malware and security issues: Read up on good security practices; install a good firewall, malware-detector, and anti-virus; replace IE with a more secure browser; and keep yourself up-to-date with security updates. There are people out there (myself includ ...moreed) who've used Windows since 3.1 days right through to XP without ever being infected with a virus or malware: you can do it too. Don't get Linux: It will fail miserably at being what you want it to be.
- The Linux Desktop Myth by A.Y. Siu
Great discussion article on why linux isn't on more desktops. It's entirely possible that you may not have heard of Linux. Maybe you own a Mac or Windows computer and don't read the technology news. You may have a TiVo, but it doesn't have a huge sticker on the box that reads "Powered by Linux" (even though it is). You may use Google, but it doesn't have any announcement on its homepage that it's run on Linux servers (even though it is). Whether you've heard of Linux or not--it probably plays a role in your life somehow.

- Windows to Ubuntu Transition Guide - March 29, 2006. Posted by Jason Faulkner.
Alright, so you have successfully installed Ubuntu Linux, but now what do you do with it? You are in the right place. I am going to get you started with a guide on how to use your new Ubuntu system. This transition guide is targeted at existing Windows users and will show you how to do program installations, a little system configuration, but primarily highlight some Windows "replacement" programs for common applications you can't live without. This guide's intent is to introduce you to equivalent programs to what you are accustomed to and, hopefully, to cover a good amount of what you might want in a new install.

- Driving Windows x64: A 15,000-Mile Checkup, with Tips and Workarounds by Alan Zeichick (December 6, 2005)
If you're considering running 64-bit Windows, now's the time to make that transition. The platform is solid, hardware and software support is mature, and the performance is incredible. It's been about eight months since I started running 64-bit Windows as my everyday platform. The transition from my trusty 32-bit workstation to a new HP box with dual AMD Opteron processors and Windows XP Professional, x64 Edition, has truly been a platform migration: There were workarounds, a learning curve, and some frustrations with hardware and software support.

- How-To smbfs: smbmnt must be installed suid root
Okay, so I was trying to mount SAMBA shares so all the programs could see them. Sounds simply it's so not! So when I finally found a program that could find the shares. They wouldn't mount. You have to follow this guys code. see note.

Note: for the problem: "smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts" type in a console to resolve this: $ sudo chmod u+s `which smbmnt` in order to be able to mount the shared directory , and: $ sudo chmod u+s `which smbumount` in order to be able to umount the shared directory.

- Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs - Ubuntu Forums
I was having the most difficult time in the world trying to figure out how to mount samba shares which were created on a Japanese windows 2000 server and transferred over to my replacement Ubuntu network file server. Nautilus mounted them fine, and displayed the correct folder and file names, but the files were not cashed which caused very slow response times, and I was having difficulty with my keyring among other things.

- save .ram/.rm (real media stuff) file to hard disk,how?
leahcim first two comments were really useful. "To save a Real Media file you simply do this. If it a .Ram file,save it.Right click and save as to desktop.It will be small. After it is saved to your desktop,open the .Ram file with NOTEPAD." and " If I do that I'll get addresses with rtsp:// or pnm://. How do I save them? I can't just right click on them??? Yes.... you have to save the link in to a web page in order for you to right click on it and choose the option "save target as" finally "it did not work when I copied either of the address’s thats when i downloaded Offline Explorer Pro"

- cifs mounted filesystem does not show files and directories
I have a Synology 106e (Firmware Version: 2.0.1 - 3.0368). I have created a share (data) on the Synolgy device. I mounted it on a Windows XP system and it works fine. I also tried to mount the share from two of my linux systems (Fedora Core 5 and 6), both with the same problem: It mounts the file system and I can read and write files to it but when I perform an ls (in a terminal) or use the graphic filemanager no files or directories are shown!
