    Samba saves the day

    yes, you can just click File, Connect to Server, type IP address and select "Windows Share" There is no native Linux sharing protocol that I know of. So Samba works perfectly or FTP. But I found that Samba is faster

    Elder Scrolls Online

    I don't get the locked texture quality. It must be mis-reading your video card specs. I have seen other games do it as well, but no way to adjust it.

    GOG.com removing 35 games

    The only one I want is Gothic 2, but I'm going to wait for another day. Only have $3 on PayPal right now. Not like I can do a guide anyways ;) I think its interesting that GOG decided to do DRM free videos. I noticed they were thinking of doing music as well. It would be nice to see some...

    Samba saves the day

    Good luck with Office 2010. It "should" work, but may have some side-affects. I have successfully installed Office 2007 on Mac with PlayOnMac. It ran fine except Outlook would not sync the calendar. If she doesn't use a lot of advanced tool or functions (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) then Libre...

    origin game loader

    Awesome! Great list for new Guides! I couldn't get Kingdoms of Amalur or Divinity II running at all. It had something to do with DRM and connecting to their server. Probably Origin... Post whenever you want and I'll take a look.

    Samba saves the day

    My server has proven invaluable! I can store all of my games, music, movies, projects on a RAID 5 with a spare, then backup everything to my internal 1 TB drive. As if that wasn't enough, I backup to an external drive that I take with me every day. Redundancy is the key! Awesome, Linux wins...

    PROJECT ETERNITY

    Interesting, I haven't seen any advertising or post on typical game sites. So I guess it means more waiting.

    The Sims 4 Create A Sim demo

    Same here! Because of Games and tired of paying $$ for Windows, I have learned a LOT about Linux and its capabilities. If it wasn't for games, I would only use it for my server. I'm starting to learn GIMP as well. Been using Photoshop for years and tired of paying for it as well. Specially...

    Samba saves the day

    Yes, I might actually use that! I forgot to mention... I use Samba on my Fedora 16 server so all of my Win/Linux machines can connect to it. Takes a while to configure so the shares work properly and the firewall allows everything, but once its in place everything is good. My windows machines...

    Samba saves the day

    Man, I have at least two live USB distros in my pocket at all times and a rescue USB where I can reset passwords. Not to mention Linux always comes with Memtest. I didn't know Windows had some boot/recovery programs that were similar. Its about time! Hopefully they are free like Linux...

    Samba saves the day

    Was her notebook Windows XP or Vista? It might be time for her to learn a little Linux... I have rescued laptops by using live USB with Fedora and Mint Boot to the USB, login, then backup their files to the local server or backup drive. Works like-a-charm! As long as the hard drive is working...
