This is an interesting article but I'm afraid the result is quite predictable. Instead of being taken as a serious attempt to inform people who...
Google's OS for netbooks is still vaporware. Linux is hurting MS in the netbook market without any help from Google, thank you. Google's joining...
I think it is a reaction to netbook sales with Linux. While overall Linux use may only be about 2%, it is reaching 30% on netbooks. That is the...
If the host is Windows, then the host may open you to malware. But you won't be in anymore danger from the Ubuntu guest than you were without it....
Easy answer, try a LiveCD and test it. Hard answer, Ubuntu has come a long way with wireless and you shouldn't have a problem if you use 9.04,...
By definition, anyone who knows how to allow a GUI root login in Mint and Ubuntu, isn't a noob.;)
You obviously missed the Synaptic button. There are thousands of apps to "play around with."
Here's a link to a tutorial on installing Arch. http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?showtopic=27596
Hmmm!!! This one installs in Vbox but it won't install the Guest Additions. Says to install the GNU compiler but that is already installed.
If you read the quote from my previous post you will note the patch; Make sock_sendpage() use kernel_sendpage() that cures the problem for...
Did no one notice that this "vulnerability" only applies to an obscure application that very few people use? This from Linus himself: Make...
This is a serious inquiry and not a knock on KDE. What is it in KDE 4.3 that you find appealing? Is it the "look and feel," or are there some...
While there are distros that fit most of the needs of a wide range of users, (Mint 7 being my first choice,) one of the biggest advantages of...
What "Gnome stuff" is there that you can't run from KDE? One of the reasons I feel there isn't much difference between the two anymore is that...
Personally, I don't see a dime's worth of difference between the two. I'm currently using Gnome but have KDE installed just so I can test it out...
Did that but the notebook doesn't have a DVD, only CD. I have and external but it, of course, is also USB.
It won't fit on a CD. But if I get the boot menu, what difference would being on a cd make?
Doesn't seem to like me. I used the "dd" command to put the .img file on a USB stick and tried it on my Aspire notebook. Got the Boot Menu but...
I downloaded the .img file and tried to run it in a Vbox session. I got an error saying my cpu didn't have a "pae" feature, whatever that is, an...
The answer, of course, is no. People have tried many time to use Google to find cases to use to prove this happens and there aren't any. All...
Either that or scan the files manually before copying them.
You would know by running a manual scan. And I'll bet you can't find a web-site that is successfully targeting Linux.
The only claim of malware effecting Linux on this forum was far from genuine. Someone claimed that downloading a Windows virus using a Wine...
Sorry. Your desire to limit the thread to your original question is irrelevant. 'Tain't gonna happen..
I suggest that this be accepted as "the official answer" and be made a "sticky." In the future, any question about AV's in Linux should referred...
