you r welcome

thx for the links, there r more resources out there if we r willing to find, using linux opens your eyes to tech world more agree?

hehe have a nice day

havent, been bz lately...will try it when i have time

what is the card's chipset? usually it gives no issue when its current n older gen chip, just the latest intel wifi chip give some problems in 64bit...cz there arent any 64bit driver from them...

dont worry, linux kernel isnt that lacking u can use ubuntu live cd n give it a try 1st. no need to install, just give it a test drive, it allows u to online as well

in most cases, yes dont worry

cs2 is windows software...u cant expect it work out of the box can u? install wine, refer to here http://luiscosio.com/how-to-adobe-photosho...ubuntu-10-steps and here http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=2631

cheers! u can try gimp n learn it

do this,
sudo apt-get gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ubuntu-restricted-extra

that will definately allow totem support avi n mp3...totem...hmm just use mplayer(install gnome-mplayer) or vlc, as for torrent, go for deluge, music im using banshee, for mounting iso(graphical usage, furius iso mount). google is your best friend now

cheers!

is the command u can type in terminal, or u can use synaptic package manager to install...its ez, dont be scared for more software reference, u can search in google, type in keywords like ubuntu <things u wan2 ask>. dont worry, its much ezier in ubuntu than in windows...just follow your instinct hehe

cheers!

do u see an icon like 2 computer in the tray area? click it once, it should list out access point in your area, select any1 of it(that u know is yours la )

thats all :)ez as that

it is for your safety, it only will ask when the thing u do is going to require root privilege, or else it wont ask u...so its not really intrusive unless ur the kind that keep messing with system settings or install uninstall packages, other wise, i do not see the reason for os to ask for your password all the time..its not like uac, uac keep ask u whenever ANY program ask for privilege(almost anything that could possibly change file system files). password asking is actually to give that program rights to change things, a security reason for it to exist, or else your just using another windows.

cheers

as long as your login into internet, there wont be just u potentially harm the com get what i mean? its built into the os, u need root privilege for any other system stuff.

1st thing 1st, what did u do that require root privilege so much? cz u talk like it comes out all the time! it only will come out when its needed, i really need to know what u doing that require so much authorization. n NO u cant turn it off, its there so your system know whos messing with it b4 it let u to mess it around, clear?

cheers!

for login password, that can be done, go to system > administration > login window, go to security tab, check enable automatic login.

as for other usage, i'll give u some other solution by end of the day

most probably because of flash plugin, it is quite common...which is a sad case given that adobe dont really support linux well enough

y manually install? install envyNG from package manager, envyNG will let u do it automatically or manually, up to u

EDIT: or u can just refer to here, like i said, google is your best friend...so dont be lazy to ask your new friend http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#I...tricted_drivers

er...y u need clamav? unless u need to distribute files to windows users...

anyway, what kind of weirdness?

o, i think u didnt install the gui for gnome search in package manager again on clamav, u should be able to find clamtk, but not sure how effective it is compares to command line version

is clamtk installed?

it is easy to do dual boot if u install linux on another hdd/partition, try not to resize windows xp partition if u do not know what r u doing so, if u wan an easy way out, just get another hdd n install linux on it, during installation it will detect winxp n put tat into boot menu as well.

just remember to put win xp in 1st boot device, win xp isnt tat smart most of the time it wont boot if its not the 1st partition.

go for deluge with blocklist plugin enabled, its as good as utorrent but its more
