thanks for the info, RAR seems to work for me fine... when you say RAR isn't free... how come it's available freely on Linux?

@ Quatrux, thanks manage to get sysinfo through XubuntuSound Card: ATI RV710/730 hunting for drivers now...

that's the one... previewing not only helps correcting typos but also gives the poster another run on reading his/her post before posting... re-editing posts makes previewing less popular

i agree... slower than the more Win popular Chrome, Firefox and Opera but i like it's elegant look and feel... safari's speed dial page is probably the coolest in comparison to chrome and opera

I'm surprised he wasn't really into to charity work as much as Bill Gates, i guess he has his reasons. Some argue his charity came through other people he influenced their lives but pffft that's still not from him though. I quite agree with you here starscream. Someone argued otherwise: http://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=http://www.forbes.com/sites/larahoffmans/2-of-steve-jobs/&refURL=&referrer=

i've installed Windows XP on an Aspire 5810TG and managed to get the ATI Video Card going... installed all drivers, but having issue with no sound at all on the speakers, although the Realtek Audio driver has been installed and suppose to be functioning properlyi know this isn't a hardware issue because i dual Boot xp with xubuntu and xubuntu has sound but not xphelp please

that's pretty good i usually have a thick paper card board lying around to put on my lap when i use my netbook in bed

thanks guys... i don't do much archiving, was more for unpacking really... on ubuntu software center i came across rar and 7zip so i installed 7zip since i use it on windows

i never knew they use to be editable... i think you're provided with 3 or 5 minutes window for editing submitted post, after that you'll have to either double post or update on new post

i notice that when i click the firefox or chrome icon on quick launch menu i get a new window of firefox or chrome opening up, i want to set this quick launch so that when i click it it opens a new tab if there's an active instance of the software currently operating

laptop cooling isn't a simple fix, probably this would work on PC... with laptops replacing cooling is quite some job and requires skills, knowledge and accuracy anyways back to topic - i've never had experience as this - locked laptop due to overheating, but it might pay to give the inside a good vacuuming or air blast... dust can easily accumulate inside the device and reduce the efficiency of air flow which results in over-heating. Where does the device is usually placed while operating? Ensuring enough space underneath the device or the sides where the air vents are usually located will help with the air flow and keeping the inside of the laptop cooler

i'm going to do some archive packing (and unpacking)... and i have to decide between these two... reading on both these tools are comparable, but i notice that RAR is proprietary where as 7zip is OSS, so i'm curious what you guys think i should chooseand also what your experiences are with these two tools...

just installed Xubuntu 11.10 and i tell ya, it's pretty slick and elegant although it doesn't have as much variety of the extra eyecandy stuff that comes with Gnome Ubuntu, it's still a pretty good OS... especially for low spec devices like my netbook here's a screen shot: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Rob D for sure on The Matrix

Update: SOLVED remove envelope icon: sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages add icons to bottom quick launch panel - right click on panel- go to panel- click panel preference- go to items tab- add new item- select Launcher.- Program laucher- a new empty icon appears on panel- right click empty icon- go to properties- click add item to launcher- this will bring available applications to choose from- select application- click ok- application icon added :)

here's how Xubuntu 11.10 looks (default) just altered wall-paper: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

just installed xubuntu 11.10 and i'm wondering if someone can tell me - how to remove the envelope icon from the indicator applet? and also - how do i add icons to the bottom quick launch panel?Xubuntu it pretty slick, but elegance? still hands down to LinuxMint

very similar but not the same it's alright i thought they'd have same standard layout throughout every platform... i've just installed chromium love google's chrome/chromium browsers, very slick and simple

yes, what OS are you running firefox on? i'm using ubuntu 11.10... to be exact, xubuntu 11.10

wow... i'm so gonna try this out, and give to my little nephews, it'll be great entertainment for them thanks for the share

welcome... enjoy your stay!

my apologies... didn't read the initial post properly last time i used WAMP Server, mod_rewrite was one of the options which can be toggled by right clicking the WAMP Server icon on notification area... probably under settings or options... i wonder if .htaccess applies on IIS as well?

i'm just curious to know if there's a way of adding new tab for right click on tab headings for firefox 7...i notice Chrome and Opera has this option but not firefox....cheers

I'm starting to like Safari on Windows lol... although it seems slower than Chrome and Opera...

I'm just curious about how many people here uses Safari on Windows? I'm just testing it on my Laptop and i kinda like its elegant look and feel but i'm wondering how you find it's performance (in Windows) compared to the other popular ones like Opera, Firefox, and Chrome
