  1. One way to create a pdf, if you are using Windows, is you can download pdf995 located here. This is a free pdf creator for Windows, so you will not have to go out and purchase Adobe. However, if you use OpenOffice, similar to MS Office, it has a pdf creator in it's word processor. OpenOffice runs in Linux as well as Windows. I am not sure which Operating System you are using, but these are some suggestions that may help. If you are using MS Word, you could download OpenOffice for free, it is a full suite, from openOffice.. Hope this helps.
  2. Binod Singh, First question is, what exactly are you wanting to accomplish with Linux? Are you wanting to just try Linux, are you familiar with Linux? If you are wanting to see what Linux has to offer and just "kick the tires, and drive around the block" to test it, then as others in this forum have suggested, use Knoppix. Knoppix runs straight from the CD, and it will also give you a heads up if Linux is compatible with your hardware. There is nothing more aggrivating than installing Linux and fighting with hardware incompatability, winmodems for one example. Other distros suggested in here are good as well, such as; SuSE, Mandrake, Redhat, and Fedora Core. One issue with SuSE and Mandrake is that you have to pay for those distros. However, thay are inexpensive as compared to Rehat now. Redhat has turned their community project over to Fedora Core. So, in order to get RedHat, or the Redhat name, you would have to purchase the Redhat Enterprise package which can go up as high as 1300 dollars(US). Now, Fedora Core 3 is supported by the community, it is free, and it is really Redhat under a new name. I have used Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, and Fedora. They are all good distros, and fairly easy to set up. As for setting Linux up, I usually partion the Linux drives manually. A quick run through on how I set it up.1.) Set your Swap partition 2 * your RAM. (Ex. if you have 512 Mb of RAM, then 2 * 512 = 1024mb)2.) Set your /boot partition to 100mb3.) Set your /root to the rest of your free spaceThis allows you to have more control over the partitioning. I used to let the distros set mine automaticly, but it became really insufficient after a period of time. It was like my partitions were not allocated correctly, and I would somehow run out of /tmp space.
  3. I think you have a great start. I hope I don't offend you by making a suggestion. "The demons that attacked the city multiplied like crazy after you killed one." - This sentence does not seem to follow the style of writing you use with the rest of the paragraph. I think it is the "like crazy" phrase. You might consider rewording the sentence something like this: "The demons that attacked the city only multiplied after one was killed."Also, this sentence - "It was the chaos man after man would strike a beast with a sword and it would parish makeing another one of it appear." might should say "It was chaos, ......"Great job! I'd like to see the finished product!
  4. I personally prefer Yahoo's interface over Google's. Also, Yahoo's search results seem more organized to me. I will admit thought that when I am in a hurry I turn to Google.
  5. I found Xisto through Xisto. LOL I was there first and really felt in over my head so I checked out Xisto. I feel much more at ease here!
  6. I have used many cell phones over the years, as I formerly worked for a cell phone company and we usually tested stuff as we got it in before we recommended it to customers. I have always been happiest with Nokia. Of course, they have occasionally put out some not so great phones, but all in all Nokia phones are reliable and affordable. Another phone I liked, for the reception not the features, was Kyocera.
  7. I must say I've had this phone for a couple of months now and am still trying hard to be impressed. I love the phone itself, but I have had nothing by trouble with my cell service ever since I switched over to the V551. I drop about 80-90% of my calls, some after a couple of minutes and some after ten or more. I would blame it on Cingular, but my phone drops with even a half-full signal. Cingular has switched out our phones once and we are waiting for tech support to get back to us on what they will do next. Even with the problems, I am reluctant to give up my V551 though since I also invested in bluetooth for it.
  8. I used to be die hard Windows and have seen the Open Source light! Using Internet Explorer (and Windows of course) I kept getting virus after virus. After finally having enough of losing hours and hours of hard work, I let my husband *upgrade* me to linux and firefox. I must say I have absolutely LOVED firefox. Although I have had a very few popups, the security in great and being used in combo with linux keeps me virus free!
