I took me a few weeks to learn it properly. After that I started learning javascript and css, then php.

You could use a content managing system, like joomla or phpnuke.

I use azureus and Limewire. I agree that utorrent is the best torrent client out there, but sadly it hasn't been released for linux:(

I use OpenOffice, beacuse I have Linux so I have no other option. At first it was a bit unusual, but after a few hours I got used to it.

If I had enough time I'd probably code my own cms instead of using someone else's work. Otherwise I'd probably go with joomla.

I used to use WarpXp, although I didn't really notice any difference. Though software like these might come in handy since they automatically disable a bunch of features you don't need!Like for example, windows always told me that I have unused icons on my desktop! So what?! It's none of it's business:p

The only reason why I have 7-zip installed is because I use some software that is only distributed with 7zip. Otherwise I don't really use it. It's a good free program, but it's just not widespread enough.

At least 1-2 hours a day, but probably a lot more yeah, I have loads of free time.I spend my time reading comic books, posting on forums, occasionally I log on to irc, chat on msn, read articles etc.

Half Life (not 2, the first game)Count Strike 1.6Soldier of Fortune (I really loved this one)Quake 3 (loved this one too)Unreal Tournament

Kaspersky AntivirusAd-AwareZone-AlarmThis trio has never let me down before. They always detect and get rid of everything that gets my pc. Although I don't use them anymore cause I made the switch to linux, they still do a great job on the other comps in the family.

I played Tibia for like a month but then I quit. It was too hard to level up and it got boring after a while. And whenever you died you lost some of your stuff and some experience. Now, the items you lost were totally random, so sometimes you could even lose your weapon and it was really hard to get a good one again. I guess it's just not the game for me.

I'm using gentoo linux and it boots up in less than 30 secs...Specs:Intel Pentium D 9304x512MB 667Mhz Ram160 GB Samsung Sata Harddrive

Another thing that you should know is that this might void your warranty.

You could either set up windows to share the internet, or a better option would be buying a router that'd share the internet between the two computers. You can get a 4 port routers for a low price. They also include a firewall which might come in handy.

I get 4mbit/256 kbit. In reality my download speed is 460KB/s and my upload is aorund 26-28 KB/s. I'd say compared to the fact that I'm in Hungary this is pretty good. We pay around 30-35 euros a month. Pretty decent, and the service is always working.For Hungarian servers I always get pings around 20ms, for servers based in the EU, I get pings around 50-200ms's

You'll need HTML, javascript, a server side language like PHP, ASP, PYTHON or something similar and SQL.Creating a game like Ogame takes a lot of time especially if you're working on it alone. I'm not saying it's not accomplishable but it takes a lot of time.I myself written an online game that's a lot simpler than ogame and the coding process took 1 month of hard work. And this is nothing special, it's just a simple, pretty basic game with not too many features and stuff.

I started programming when I was 13.I started with PHP, then later I tried learning VB, but I didn't like the syntax of it so eventually I started learning C++. And I still have a lot to learn:)I also know html, sql and js but those aren't programming languages:p

Personally I prefer gmail:- they give you more then enough space- the're pages are not filled with ads- pages load fast (like for example hotmail takes forever to load)

I prefer vBulletin, although my opinion is a bit biased since the first bigger forum I get to administer used VB.It has loads of mods available, loads of themes, a nice online community, it's easy to develop your own mods for it and I think it's easy to administer. For some reason I never liked the acp of IPB.

I don't recommend using some other providers database, because you're pages would load rather slowly. The ping between the web server and the database server would be too big. You can find a bunch of free hosts that offer mysql databases.

Like a year ago I felt an urge to learn how linux worked, and how to use it and stuff.So at first I tried out a few distros like Ubuntu, Knoppix and Suse, but I didn't really liked any of them. Then I used Debian for a few months, but after some time I learned about Gentoo, gave it a try and haven't looked back since:p

I think KDE 3 needs at least 16 or 32 megs of VRAM to work, so that might be your problem.But that's quite an old computer, so I think putting KDE on it is not a good idea.Try Damn Small Linux. That should work just fine, even on an old 486.If you don't like DSL, then try getting a distro that has XFCE by default. XFCE should run on older computers just fine.

Here's my list:- Firefox- OpenOffice- Amsn- Kdevelop- Audacious- Gtk2Dict (English/Hungarian dictionary:p)- Krusader- Gimp

Try typing this in the console: apt-get install firefoxIf that won't work try apt-get install mozilla-firefoxI'm sure ubuntu has some graphical package manager, but I'm not quite familiar with Ubuntu. I think it's called Synaptic. Anyway, if the first two commands won't work just try looking around in Synaptic.As for the server, I think it'd be worth it to learn some basic commands and get one up and running without a graphical interface. Heck, you might be able to set one up just by following a few online guides.Here are a few distros you might want to give a try (for the server): debian, slackware or fedora core. (or you could go with FreeBSD, I'm sure it has some easy online guides that'll let you set up your own server)

Gentoo for my desktop, because I like the flexibility it offers, and somehow I never liked the package manager of other distros.For servers, especially web servers I prefer using FreeBSD. It's more stable, faster and I also find it's package manager to be better than those of linux distros.
