Hello everyone. I have an older self-build computer which is several years old. It has an ASUS P5Q Pro mobo and an old Intel Q9400 processor. I originally had WinXP Pro installed on this computer. I went out and bought an OEM copy of W7 Pro and installed it. So I had installed an OEM version...

How Long I have been using Linux? First off Riche, I am like a newbie all over again, every time I install Linux. So even though I have been truly PLAYING with Linux for about 10 years...I am by NO MEANS a seasoned expert or even a knowledgable one. I have always considered Linux to be a...

Yippie PART II When the Fedora Core (Anaconda) starts, you will go through some preliminary stuff, like deciding which language to use and setting the system time zone...the next thing you are faced with is the ALL IMPORTANT disk installer. In this case, where I am going to install Linux to the...

Yippie! We DID IT! And Here is HOW TO I think I am about beside myself with JOY! I just took the plung Richie, and installed Fedora Core 11. I had to modify the GRUB Boot Loader to make it work. At first, it looked like I lost the bootmgr (boot manager) for Windows 7, but it was just a matter...

Hi. I have 5 hard disks on my computer (four SATA internal + one external). I was able to get disk management in W7 to work one time. It reported one of my hard disks incorrectly, telling me I have a 2 Teribyte drive when I do not have it. I attempted a reformat (NTFS, default). Anyway, after...
