Benq Monitor Says Cable Not Connected

3D Desktop La Fonera

addition to new "calling home" and DRM capabilities make Windows Vista especially with his posh surface with 3D effects headlines ... but also Linux, a long time:

The conservative approach is Beryl expanded and the normal Gnome, KDE or XFCE desktop for transparency and a number of cool effects, then what looks Sun . Install Beryl on can Automatix Bleeder , and if you have to take the Nvidia beta drivers, you have to start not even the (automatically configured) XGL desktop session. If everything went well in testing, enter the "beryl-manager" in the appropriate startup list, and you have the coolness factor his desktop for a few 100% increase.

who is a bit more adventurous, can the new Looking Glass desktop Installing the Sun, which can place all desktop elements in free space (see also video ). Looking Glass is still aA real "version 1.0", that is reckoned with various bugs and limitations in everyday use.

Mandriva in the next version will offer a solution called Metisse . At the moment there are only a few videos and a live CD, binaries for other distributions, I could not find until now.

is To make it this year three excellent Linux Alternatives to the new Vista desktop type that meet the highest aesthetic demands.

What Uses Brother Ink Lc51



In terms of the GPL idea works, the English wireless provider "Fon":

who shares his Internet access can, but with surfing all the other members of the community free of charge. There are a subsidized wireless router for € 29 - (in the context of actions often free, like in the PC world, 02/2007, where I slammed ...).

security concerns are unfounded, because the private and public network are isolated and the public access is not anonymous, that Fon can trace back who the bad illegal stuff is being downloaded on my router ... a DSL router is present, the configuration works fully automatically via DHCP. PPPOE (eg directly on the cable or DSL modem) is supported, but it costs more decided effort.

Which ISPs support this idea / permit is documented at Wikipedia When in doubt, look again, but rather in the contract ... and then log on, go!! ;)

How Long Does Tamazepan Take Too Work

for Linux Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy

So good's new first ...

In the Christmas holidays I had a bit of time to play once again with Linux around, and although I am Kubuntu and Xubuntu ultimately back to the good old Ubuntu landed here to a brief review.

On my Acer laptop built in wireless 12/2006 ran out of the box (integrated Intel chipset), the latest Nvidia drivers for the video card could be easily over install Automatix is \u200b\u200b(of course, about APT / Synaptic, but this driver a little older and you must then do is run a configuration script manually). In general Automatix contains lots of useful software (yet) is available in the Ubuntu repository, so it is definitely worth a look.

an overview of the used / installed software can be found here And my Linux-Links can be viewed here , both sources are constantly updated. There

problems at the moment with the SMB (network drive / printer) access to my desktop computer as a workaround I use for the file transfer function of the installed there UltraVNC server is not therefore the level of suffering at this point at the moment so high, but that should in theory everything worked (maybe it's enough to specify the IP instead of computer name, no idea).

Conclusion: Since last week, get Ubuntu the default boot flag, because I have almost everything to do with it what I need in everyday life Sun Windows I just have to a few games and boot for the Napster music flatrate . Since I am yet to find a workaround (WINE / Cedega /...) if what is remains to be seen ...
