your old acer notebook from what year?

Have you try to repair it? What spec is your new notebook? Maybe you try to upgrade to Window 7 Pro. That is the only Window that has the least problem.

i think u misunderstood me, the one that is dead is my old one, not this one that i'm curently using
btw this one that i'm using is a netbook.. hp 210-1000 that came free with streamyx unipack. the preloaded win7 is struggling with its 1gb ram and intel atom 1.66ghz. theres no way i will *cough*upgrade*cough* to win7 pro. besides, if i really wanna upgrade window$, i wouldn't be here in this linux forum in the first place
"repair" that i can think of now is erase this crappy win7 and install debian (or maybe just dualboot incase my lil' bro wanna play game of something)

just wipe out the windows la, and put the penguin dominates there.

from the day i got my aspireone netbook i straight wipe it out and installed ubuntu netbook

Testing vanilla LXDE + xcompmgr desktop. I guess I need not to question why LXDE is the fastest DE ever.

Sorry to hear about your Aspire. On a slightly comforting note, it died on the same day a former great company died as well... Nokia. Well, they're not really dead, but becoming a Microsoft lapdog because they had nowhere else to turn to = R.I.P anyways.

About your netbook and Win7;
I've always wondered which moron at MS decided it was a good idea to have Win7 on Atom netbooks. Even XP, once you'll installed a firewall, antivirus and other monitoring/maintanence apps tools runs a but slow (and gets slower as time passes) on an Atom, so I can't even imagine how much it would struggle with Win7. O_o



Actually, on reletively recent hardware (anything from the last 5 - 6 yrs), There's not much difference, speed-wise between XFCE and LXDE (vanilla Xfce, not Xubuntu's metapackage). Even their memory footprint is around the same (maybe Lxde just edges it) Personally, I never really got the whole LXDE craze, especially when standalone Openbox is faster/lighter/modular.

Probably it's just me then. I can do with just Openbox, but for some reason the inner me doesn't like to conform to the fact that "less is more."

It'd be great if you started a thread telling us about all the networking adventures you've had with Linux.
You call me a "guru", but seriously, there's very little I know (I don't work in the IT/computing industry aside from some small GPL/BSD/FOSS projects), and I'm probably a noob compared to most people on the networking side of things. I'd be very thrilled if you found time to share your experiences with us, as I presume there's a lot I could learn from you.



I wasn't trying to discourage you or anything like that. It was just an observation on my part (on my hardware). Use whatever you're comfortable with, man. More power to you.

err.. how to extract .iso files on debian ? it's video file

mount it and open video tracks inside it in a player?

nevermind , already got the way to do that
i'm using Furios Iso Mount https://launchpad.net/furiusisomount

i think acetone iso is better. much like nero. but i'm just using right-click extension in thunar to mount iso. simple and no hassle

2.6.37-020637rc2-generic kernel installed and used, but my battery status is still undetectable. Any more solutions?

@Chyan
What do you use to see your battery status? Gnome Power Manager, conky, htop, acpi?

Gnome Power Manager, acpi, conky.

Always @ 0% with AC /withoutAC it's the same.

My model there is BAT1

@Chyan
Sorry for the late reply. I was out for the last 2 nights.
Your battery might have a defective sensor somewhere.

First remove your battery and clean the contacts. Then put it back in and boot into your OS. After about 10 minutes, unplug the power cord to make it run on battery power, and in terminal do ;





...and paste the output here.

This might also be a kernel or BIOS issue. I can't help with teh BIOS, since it's different for each system (and I don't want to be responsible for screwing up your BIOS), but do you have a LTS kernel (2.6.32.xx). If yes, boot with it and see if your battery info is available of not.
