Why not Linux? (WinXP + MS Office Pro cost P28,700)

[flakez]

hmmmmm

baka mali lang pagkaburn ko. hehehe

ayos ba ung xandros? pano ako mag iinstall ng mga apps? madali lang ba? pwede bang direct install na nung mga apps ng windows? o may separate installer ung pang linux/xandros. ung ibang apps kasi may separate pang linux. since mukhang hi-tech na tong xandros baka pwede na diretso.... hehehe.

unfortunately I was just trying different flavors of linux because of the licensing push of MS. I didn't get very far into getting applications ported over from MS to Linux though. If I remember correctly, most of the "plug & play" Linux already has some word processor and spreadsheet apps included.

[flakez]

ah ok. most of the apps na kelangan ko naman e designed for linux, kaso lang ang problema kelangan ko mag dl ulit. hay buhay.

BTW. how do you burn the installer CD? what i did is i extract the iso file and burn it into a blank CD. i dont know how to burn iso files. hehehe

to burn an ISO file to CD, simply use your software (I use NERO) and choose burn CD from file option. The resulting CD will be a copy of the original source CD.

you burn iso files using alcohol120% or daemon.hindi pwede yung ordinary nero =)

actually I used Nero 5.0 included with my CDRW drive... works fine.

wouldnt it result to an ISO file? or it will extract itself while burning in to the cd? i remember i tried burning an iso file before but the result is still an iso file. hehehe. anyways, thanks. i guess i'll just have to try it again.

You should choose BURN CD IMAGE instead.

linux gurus, i need assistance here...

i just bought a new computer and i installed ubuntu 5.10 as its os this morning. the install was uneventful except that it did not autoconfigure the network setting due to a dhcp thingy that i don't have any idea about. anyway, this is the startup screen:


after i logged in i was greeted by a blank desktop and i don't have any idea how to access the programs packaged with the original ubuntu install cd.

help guys! i am not going to give up on this easy.

buti na lang my older computer is right at the back of this new one.

btw, i installed the 64-bit ubuntu version on an athlon 64 3000 computer.

I read some time back that the 64 bit offering of ubuntu is still buggy, i would suggest that you try the 32 bit version first

Napakahirap gamitin LINUX tapos yung compatibility issue pa nyan sa mga programs. karamihan naman kasi ng mga programs windows base. ang napag run ko pa lang dyan sa LINUX yung Counter Strike, Yahoo Messenger. Bayanihan Linux pala ginamit ko dati parang Windows XP din.

do you have problem extracting .ISO file?

If you want an extractor for .iso file Message me up at YM ID: finchyme18

[Alpha_One]

I already use OpenOffice.org and Linux. But my main OS is still Windows XP, mostly because I'm a gamer, partly because it just works well.

[finchy18]

you need to have a short bacground about linux. You'll get to know each other . Its little bit hard

[diesoline]

finchy18: no problem extracting the .iso file. the install cds i have are ubuntu originals lent to me from a friend who requested them (FREE!) at shipit.ubunto.com.

laklak: thanks for the heads-up. i will try the live cd of the 32-bit version tomorrow. i have already formatted the hard drive and am currently on xp now.

guys, favor lang, could you give me some points on how to do a dual boot install? tia!

[wrcastro_ph]

Pag dual boot ang gusto mo.. i partition mo muna yung HDD mo... pero wag mo na muna i format sa windows... just let the Linux format it into EXT2 format. I use REDHAT and FEDORA LINUX... works great for me... but .. yun nga lang .. di lahat ng mga applications na gusto mo ay tatakbo.... but it's good to play around with Linux..

[diesoline]

thanks for the prompt reply, wrcastro_ph! i didn't see a choose drive option in the express install. i hope the custom install option will have it. thanks again.
