P2P, morpheus, limewire for xubuntu?

Perfection asked:

What p2p programs are available for xubuntu?

just a thought, would it be safer/less likely to get a virus than you would running it on a windows OS?

thanks

Ubuntu software?

mammothmeg asked:

I currently use Windows Vista but I was talking to my friend who uses Ubuntu. I’m not really sure what the difference is and which one is really ‘better’. I primarily use my laptop for school/music/games…the usual stuff. Also, what’s the difference between Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Gobuntu, Ubuntu MID edition, and Xubuntu?

Any normal explanation much appreciated, I don’t speak computer lingo.

How do you install an OS on a blank HDD?

clintsonyakmaildevice asked:

Hi! I have a crappy old dell box (P2, 64MB RAM, 10gb HDD) & a MacBook Pro. Previously I had windows ‘98 on the dell, but I wanted to try something different so downloaded Xubuntu 7.0.4. I can copy that to the HDD or a blank CD to put in the dell but when I do that, if I start it up it just says “No Operating System Found” on the screen & it repeats that every time I press a Key. I copied the hard drive of the dell to my MBP before wiping it too, but now that I restore the dells HDD to its’ original way it still says “No OS Found” when I put it back in (I’m using an external firewire enclosure w/ my MBP).

So can anyone tell me how can I get Wins ‘98 or Xubuntu onto this thing?

(I also have the original (not pirated) install disks for Wins Me but not the rego key & I’ve tried about 5 other rego keys which haven’t worked after installing Wins Me)

Thanks!!

Will creating a Linux partition resolve a Master Boot Record issue for a HDD with Windows ME installed?

Tallis Brig asked:

I Accidentally Screwed up my 80 Gig HDD with Windows ME. It seems i deleted my Master Boot Record. I have repeatedly tried to use “Fdisk /MBR” to repair the problem, but the command doesn’t seem to do anything. I can access all of my files using the DOS on my boot disk, but Windows still won’t boot up. I can, however, boot up Xubuntu using a live CD. If I Use the Xubuntu Install to disk feature, it gives me the option to create a new partition. Would Creating a new partition, and installing Linux Create a new MBR? Would that help get Windows ME going again? or would that only compound the problem?

Can I install GNOME, KDE and Xfce all at the same time with Xubuntu?

insignia asked:

Would this be ok? I’m a born windows user since the great win 3.1 and I want to try this “Linux” craze. I’ve researched almost everything about Linux and I’ve decided to dual boot Xubuntu with my XP SP2 on my AMD Sempron.

However, this GUI (desktop enviro) thingy is something new to me, hence the question.

Chris Smith asked:

my mom has and 800mhz intel celeron proccessor and 256 mb of pc133 ram which linux os would be best xubuntu or google’s os GOS. She’s not very internet savy and windows xp was slowing her system down very badly, and we dont want to invest anymore money into upgrading it so I figured throw a lighter linux os on it, i’ve been looking at xubuntu and GOS (cant find the hardware specs. for google OS) I know both of them will run fine on it but which one would run better and faster??? I was going to put open office on it to so she can deal with word docs. etc. she gets as attachments

How can recover files from a unbootable hard drive?

Obee Wan asked:

I have attempted using Xubuntu, but the disc would not mount the drive due to improper shut down. My next thought is that maybe I should try a USB to IDE cable, but I don’t know if that will work and I don’t want to spend a lot of money on trial and error.
