  1. What kind of file is it? try photorec. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

    It recognizes 320 file types, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

    I recently accidentally formatted an SD card, and photorec revovered 1500 files, only has 2 corrupt, which is pretty good.

    It works on :
    DOS/Win9x
    Windows NT 4/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7
    Linux
    FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
    Sun Solaris
    Mac OS X
    (can be compiled on any UNIX os)

    I did mine on ubuntu, but it should work on os's stated above.

    hope you can retrieve your file!!


  2. oh... well if you do heavy duty stuff then, of course linux doesn't have it, but theres always open source alternatives, like GIMP (alternative for photoshop) :P I mostly do my programming on linux, experimenting with bash scripts, and stuff like that, which feels more at home on linux than on macs, cause macs are all elegant and stuff. Linux is more messy, and so it feels better to me if I do the scripting on it!


  3. I think people use linux because its open source? so developers that wish to contribute to this distribute their software for free. All games on linux is free, which makes the user feel free to try them out. A firm may like to make a "lite" version of a game and release it for linux, then make a "full" version of it, for other platforms, which allow them to receive revenue, and also make their software known to more users. I've never heard of any company doing this, but I think its a good idea...well, the only game i really play on linux is quadrapassel (tetris clone), but there are many others, which should appeal to others. I've tried Mines (minesweeper) which is quite nice. Most games on linux are clones of classics, probably because they are simple to make and maintain, so people don't charge for it, and just distribute it open source.happy linux gaming!


  4. Yeah, apple keeps people away from terminal, but doesn't stop you from using it! I use it on a day to day basis :PI'm happy with the way things are going in Mac osx. Linux is fun! Shows how much you can actually do on a computer, Including customization, which is where Linux from scratch comes in. Users should get used to Linux and terminal, then compile their own distro after they are comfortable with it


  5. oh now that you mention it, i remember macs have this kind of function as well, to mount ftp servers as if its local.
    open finder, and click "Go" -> "Connect to Server". or just type <cmd>+<k>.
    A window like the one below will pop up.

    type it the ftp server, but remember to add "http://forums.xisto.com/to the beginning, because this feature is uses "a http://forums.xisto.com/; (apple file sharing protocol) by default.
    Then, its the same as always, you click "Connect", then type in username and password. and you're connected. If you want to save the credentials, click "Add to Keychain".
    this might be better than Cyberduck, but I find Cyberduck more user friendly. idk why
