why u wanna run ubuntu in windows

hi all...i'm newbies in Ubuntu. Using Ubuntu 8.04. wanna to ask some question...how do i wanna to setup home server using Ubuntu 8.04? and can i setup it using Maxis Broadband???

I do system admin..so I have a lot of linux running on my windows....Freebsd as router,redhat for web server,redhat fro db server,redhat as squid server

why I keep my windows ?........World Of Warcraft

probably going to be replaced by your xbox, rite?

you can use SAMBA, but trust me it is PAIN IN THE ASS when you try to make it work.

hey guys. im sure some of you are aware of my driver problems last time.....
anyways i just installed mint this morning and used envy to install the driver for my NVidia 8600GT .. but.. still same problem la.. with the pixelated screen and little colourful boxes here and there lol..

dunno whats the problem la.. i took my graphics card to the shop they guy said the card is working fine...

what special graphics card u using?

hahaha very the special one..

Xpert vision 8600GT sonic...
something like that... forgot the full actual name.

if mod too much from reference design standard drivers won't work

ohh...
anyways i think its safest for me to just run without any drivers installed la..
pc is fine without any graphics drivers..

p.s. mint rox..
p.s.s. wanna start a MINT thread?

that would be a great idea
even without the drivers the performance hit isn't great unless you playing games.

Yeah, good idea. Count me in..

It worked for me. Now I could set the display to the Syncmaster 2232BW to its native resolution: a glorious 1680 x 1050!

Hello there guys, I have a problem. The other day i accidentally clicked on save current running application. And now, each time i boot ubuntu, firefox load the last page i visited. And firefox runs automatically at start up.

My question is, how can i restore the default start up for ubuntu? I dont want firefox to start each time i boot.

Thanks. Please reply.

It was caused by an ubuntu update recently. Here is the solution:

System --> Administration --> Software Sources

Click the 'Updates' tab and tick "Pre-released updates (hardy-proposed)". Close it after you tick it.

System --> Administration --> Update manager

Click 'Check' and you should be able to see the amsn update. Select it to update and it will solve your problem.
