FAT32 vs NTFS, can Linux be used under NTFS?
|
| |
I'm confused, I was told initially that Linux had to be put on a system that was formatted to FAT32. Yet I've seen posts about Linux under NTFS.

I now have a hdd... more »

Remove Lock Screen
|
| |
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my netbook. It looks great, but I have no use for the Lock Screen feature.

How can I remove or disable the Lock Screen feature entirely?... more »

The result is that firefox/iceweael, open office, etc can no longer print directly to the lpr/lprng printing system. There is a bodgy entry you can make to gtkrc that allows you to enter a lpr command, but this totally ignores all the configuration(papersize,... more »

Linux Mint - terminal configuring
|
| |
Hey all! I have a simple question, whenever I open my terminal from gnome it starts with a ASCCIart "splashscreen" (donno how to describe it better...) It is a logo with some "nice" text of some kind. I promise to take my cynical-psyche-questions to alt.cynical.psyche, but this one is related to Linux...... more »
