First things first, we do NOT ever mention piracy in our forums.Anyways, my question is: why bother installing XP along side w/ Vista? Upgrade the full way!xboxrulz

One thing you must know when jumping to Linux is, do I want to abandon how Microsoft Windows does things and am I willing to learn how to use Linux?If no, then drop Linux, you will regret running it.There hasn't been a Linux distribution for Windows user to just drop it because they claim that it's not easy to use.Also, there's no native way to run Windows binary on Linux, just the same as is it possible to run Windows binary natively on MacOS X. (However, some MacOS X software can run on Linux and vice versa, but requires recompilation).xboxrulz

Odd your writer can't write boot cds... Perhaps it's your software? What burning program are you running? Perhaps you could try downloading a trial of Nero Burning Rom.You're not technically burning a boot disc as such... You're burning an image, which most burning programs can do, and it just happens to be a boot disc. And if you have access to Ubuntu, I know for a fact that it can burn iso's with the right software. I just tried what you are trying to do, by downloading other flavors of linux looking for live cds to try them out. Unfortunately I had no luck in this. I tried Debian and Fedora and after downloading both Live cd iso's at 700 megs a shot, then burned them to CD-R's, they both gave me some weird error message when I tried booting from them.

I guess I'm sticking with Ubuntu for now, just because I don't have any hardware conflicts. I tried Debian tonight, and I couldn't get X windows to work with my Radeon device, bleh. All the distro's I've tried (Mandrake, Redhat, Debian, etc) Ubuntu has the easiest installation. Now all I have to do is install VMware to get Dreamweaver and Photoshop back on

For your Radeon card, read here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Be sure to choose the correct OS (ex. Linux x86 or x86_64)

It's very simple, just drag and drop them in /usr/X11R6/. There should be a fonts folder in there, then log out and log back in.It's a lot easier on KDE btw.xboxrulz

You need the drivers, and "modern" motherboards do have floppy extensions, I still see them in 939/LGA-775 boards.Goodluck,xboxrulzP.S: u should really try nLite, it'll save ur life!

Apparently, a sad eBayer is attempting to sell "Nothing".

Ya, Windows has this really odd deal about not including SATA drivers into its operating system. This is where Windows Vista comes in, it includes the SATA drivers.Try to get an IDE floppy drive, they are cheap now-a-days.Too bad they never put boot sectors into USB keys.xboxrulz

Although my system has a Maxtor and Western Digital HDD, I still choose Seagate, because the computers at school uses them and so does my XBOX 360 and they never give any problems.My Maxtor is crap (had to send to warranty a couple times), and I never really liked my WD HDD.xboxrulz

Ever since they dropped Linux support, I just dropped the game.xboxrulz

OMG, this announcement is like saying Halo 3 and MacOS X 10.5 Leopard came out and Apple giving me a free laptop type of announcement .This is great!xboxrulz

I'm in Toronto, so it's quite big, everywhere you see has "Happy Chinese New Year" everywhere!xboxrulz

Awww... I was waiting for a legal battle ... NOT.It's nice to see that Cisco and Apple came to terms.xboxrulz

Your Linux should come with iptables, which is standard for all Linux distros.Also, run your computer with SELinux enabled if available so malicious software will be caught in its snare.xboxrulz

ya, they have a better compatibility layer on Vista, where most programs do work through there, if they are not directly attached to DOSxboxrulz

It's the Lunar New Year! I wish everybody at Xisto a prosperous, healthy and happy new year!

 

恭喜發財!

lol, they aren't all that real, but close enough.xboxrulz

or business version if you don't want all that junk. Business version actually runs faster than Home Premium and/or Premium.xboxrulz

true, but it included some important security aspects which I would rather run Windows Vista than Windows XP.Like I can still run standard user and install/remove software by entering a password so that I don't need to constantly be on an admin account and/or I don't need to keep logging into another account to do system-wide changes.M$ is smart on copying UNIX for this.xboxrulz

Have you spent all the Canadian Tire Money yet? I need some stuff from there if you have extra...
And the Xisto Forums are Ad-free as well now... that's great for the dial-up folks. Nice work Opaque. Thanks.

lol, I haven't been to CanTire in years.

A) Sony's dev team is retarded and decided to go overboard with the PS3;) The PS3's components are too expensive and too complicated to be used to their full potential w/o forcing a developer to go bankrupt.
C) Sony has had the worst PR team in history.

Each move Sony makes just makes them one step closer to either a lawsuit or bankruptcy. Also, if the PS3 doesn't sell very well(which it isn't), Sony is going to drop the Playstation line completely. The only thing that's keeping the company afloat is the music industry. Sony's computer line failed, the PSP was killed in two weeks by the DS Lite, the PS3 failed, Sony looses approx $100 on every ps3, and they have a bad PR team with no understanding of laws.

ya that's for sure. I backed off Playstation after the first one.

I never minded the ads, however, I really hated that stupid popup whenever I load the front page, it really annoyed me.xboxrulz

Yup, Asta got a new layout. However, I'm getting irritated by it, because it's so bulky, what happened to keeping things in a line, instead of a box?xboxrulz

There's definitely software support. Most of my Windows XP software works on Vista.Only Office 2003 crashes on me.xboxrulz

A 75 MHz computer? Wow, that's ancient. I guess it could, it doesn't take much resources.

I just found ReactOS's system requirements

ReactOS Hardware Requirements
Whether installing ReactOS on real hardware or on an emulator, it is important to know the minimum requirements to install and use ReactOS:

* 32MB RAM (NOTE: Debug builds may require 72MB of RAM, please use a release build on low memory systems)
* IDE harddisk
* FAT16/FAT32 boot partition
* VGA compatible video card
* Standard (PS/2) keyboard
* PS/2 compatible mouse or Microsoft Mouse compatible serial mouse

Furthermore, if you want to try TCP/IP networking, one of the following ethernet cards may work:

* NE2000 clones
* cards based on the Realtek8139 chipset

Other cards might also work, if you provide the appropriate driver.
