Boost Nvidia Gaphics Card Performance
Most computers support AGP modes called "Fast Writes" and "Side Band Addressing". i wont go into detail about what they are, its way too confusing. but whats important about them is 1) they are dissabled by default . 2) dissableing them causes a noticable drop in 3d graphics performance. The reason they do this, is because some chipsets (some versions of VIA for example) become very unstable and crash when FastWirites are enabled. this is rare... but, but defaulting to of

All Linux users, Linux community has a Linux counter which keeps track for Linux usuage all over the world. This counter is counting for since years and is still counting.

And BTW, I'm not affiliated with them. I just happen to be a Linux user for over 6 years.

Installing Photoshop 7 On Linux (fedora)
Hi, well I've tried coping with The GIMP but could never get it to make smaller compressed file sizes, so I had to cheat and use Adobe Photoshop 7, however, I use to switch over to Windows to do this, and it was only for compressing the file, so I thought, how about getting Adobe Photoshop 7 working with Linux (no, I am not kidding!), well here's my steps on how to do this.

Reiser4 - How To Use It As A Root Partiton
This is by no means a complete tutorial, Simply instruction on how I managed to install gentoo onto a reiser4 partiton. This is not for beginers! I will assume you have a good understanding of linux, and are capable of more advanced things, such as patching, configureing, compiling and installing a kernel from source without much (if any) instruction. Currently, no install CD's support the reiser4 fileing system, so we have to do some interesting juggling. This will describe how i did

hmmm I am a friend of Gnu/Linux itself. I like the concept of Gnu/Linux, but as I have used Linux for a long time I have noticed that the hardware support is not the best. You can read which hardware is supported, but this is not the best way because if your printer e.g is claimed to be supported by cups on their website, it's not ensured that this printer is really supported. I had so many printers, which should run with cups (only an example) and at the end these printers then print pure

Basically what we're going to do with NTLoader is use NTLoader to boot into Linux's bootloader which then boots Linux, why someone would do that when Grub works perfectly fine booting Windows on NTFS? Who knows what reason other than it could destroy their MBR and make both OS inaccessible or at least render Linux useless till it's recovered, NTLoader is not specifically designed to boot other Operating Systems other than Windows.

Believe it or not, it may be a lot easier to get patches and updates for Linux than for any proprietary operating system! The answer to a problem often comes back within a few hours after sending a message to some newsgroup or mailing list. Moreover, drivers for Linux are usually available a few weeks after new hardware products have been introduced on the market. By contrast, hardware manufacturers release device drivers for only a few commercial operating systems, usually the Microsoft one

You Can Learn Linux: This Is A Little History
Linux is a member of the large family of Unix-like operating systems. A relative newcomer experiencing sudden spectacular popularity starting in the late 1990s, Linux joins such well-known commercial Unix operating systems as System V Release 4 (SVR4) developed by AT&T, which is now owned by Novell; the 4.4 BSD release from the University of California at Berkeley (4.4BSD), Digital Unix from Digital Equipment Corporation (now Compaq); AIX from IBM; HP-UX from Hewlett-Packard; and Solaris fro

Linux Versus Other Unix-Like Kernels
6 The various Unix-like systems on the market, some of which have a long history and may show signs of archaic practices, differ in many important respects. All commercial variants were derived from either SVR4 or 4.4BSD; all of them tend to agree on some common standards like IEEE's POSIX (Portable Operating Systems based on Unix) and X/Open's CAE (Common Applications Environment). Understanding the Linux Kernel 7 The current standards specify only an application programming interface (

Linux is fully customizable in all its components.
Thanks to the General Public License (GPL), you are allowed to freely read and modify the source code of the kernel and of all system programs. Several commercial companies have started to support their products under Linux, most of which aren't distributed under a GNU Public License. Therefore, you may not be allowed to read or modify their source code.
