    Ubuntu 64bit 13.10

    Ok, I'm just going to "trial" it for now because my main machine has Mint and I'm very happy with it. But if something proves its easier than Mint and more compatible, then I may have to move into my main machine.

    Things to install after installing Mint 16?

    wow, so thoughtful... good point Actually, I have Immunet installed on work computers and its based on ClamAV I wanted something a little more unknown instead of Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast. But I never thought of seriously using a firewall and AV on Linux...

    Things to install after installing Mint 16?

    Wow, very informational guide Kladiator! I learned about boot-repair I could have used that last week instead of re-installing Mint, but hey now I'm on Mint 16 Do any of you actually use a firewall and antivirus/malware? I know Linux is susceptible to threats, but most of them seem to only...

    Things to install after installing Mint 16?

    I'll check out that guide, thanks! Actually I didn't even bother to configure openbox. I only use it for games, so I right-click, select Terminal, then type "playonlinux" Then I launch my game. The only problems I've had is setting the desktop resolution for games that don't support high...

    New desktop after a few years of pause

    Who knows.. that isn't the clock, so it must be something like front side bus speed. My older machine runs Core2Duo at 1333 MHz and its about 4 years old. So it makes sense that speeds are getting up into the 11 thousand hertz. I havn't done a lot of CPU research lately, maybe its time?

    Need to Rant!

    I have been working in the Newspaper Industry for 2 years now as an IT Systems Administrator. This is the first time I have worked full-time in IT and I LOVE IT! But as you all probably know... this industry isn't flourishing. Its quite the opposite. So far I have been involved in systems &...

    Might and Magic 7 Guide

    Nice Guide, I can't remember the last time I installed gdiplus Its awesome to see fan made patches for older games like this. Pretty cool that programmers are let to fix games on their own. One of the reasons why I still play Morrowind

    Age of Empires III

    I would like that. My main problem with Crossover is that you have to pay a monthly cost. Or did they change that? Looks like its a one time purchase for the software and support: Crossover So does that mean you get updates for Wine and software also? I guess PlayOnLinux wants to keep the...

    RAGE on PlayOnLinux

    Yeah I saw that too several times, but there is no indication that Xact 2010 is installed. So I threw it in there. Guess it didn't make any difference. Ditto Kladiator! If a game doesn't run or crashes, I look for missing libraries and then try to install them via PlayOnLinux. Its just funny...

    RAGE on PlayOnLinux

    You were exactly right. Ironically I tried the same thing. My debug showed a right when it freezes. How strange. So when I didn't move the mouse, it continues and is now fine. I also chose Wine 1.6.2 because its the new stable version. I installed Xact also, just in case. Now its running GREAT
