You can play ET but tzac won't work
XChat for IRC
If you like Unity (default) then fine, else use gnome3-shell (I think it was) or maybe Cinnamon -- or even KDE
and dont listen to people telling you to not use linux, its really good ;)
uname -a
then you know which version you use
program for music: banshee or amarok (to install: sudo apt-get install banshee)
to dl: ktorrent
i just summarized your activity on this page and an admin thought I was flaming.
Looks like you are pahtetic enough for people to believe im trolling.
it just suits your kind of content contribution so well that i cant contain myself.
also to install a (comparably) complicated OS without having any clue is the cherry on top of it all.
everything you do/post is pure faceplam to me.
e: you even posted about your braces.... srsly what the flying F?
you really are young
pidgin for im.
amarok for music.
vlc for videos.
gimp for photos.
This one looks like it http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/
if you are not gonna do something you can only do on ubuntu then dont try
gtx500 series (or similar ati if you wonna save money and dont care about driver problems)
8-16gb ram (you dont setup a 32bit system in 2012 and RAM is dirt cheap)
600w psu
some random mainboard
not expensive and as much of an upgrade as not humanly possible to conceive.
And i would wait for ivy bridge.
but ye, without overclocking a 500w psu is sufficient for 15 and no crossfire/sli.
Those thing don't use a lot of power.
electricity is "all inclusive"..
That config you gave that pc will be using around 360W fully loaded.
500W is being generous and because it's not good for the lifetime to run a PSU on 100% also no in terms of efficiency. If you take a PSU that is not near what your pc really needs your PSU will be less efficient. And you wont save a couple of euros it will be more the longer you run your pc. Quality PSU is needed if you want this really to work.
I have similar pc here, but with watercooling ( pump using 18W ) overclocked to 4,5GHz and GTX560 also overclocked with a Seasonic 520W. And still that one is more than enough.
It's a thing from the past to buy overkill PSU. You will more likely buy a 400W PSU in the future seeing the decrease in power usage from mainstream pc equipment, Ivy bridge is an example of that. On the high end market you will always need higher wattage psu, just like with cars the ones who are the fastest use a lot of fuel.
would love to see u use vista
my advice is DO IT
just like we all did with windows on first times
install, explore, learn just like u always did
dont become brainless just because of lazyness
he probably just wants to play games etc
dont get me wrong, i like unix but for forever beginners, stay on windows
Also I might doubt that he wants to use professional photo or audio editing tools like photoshop or logic, which cost some thound euros.
Thats why he can try it, I guess you're smart enough to know that there are equivalent software for linux
Ofcourse he can try it, everyone can, but he shouldn't expect to be able to run everything like on windows.
The problem is we all started with Windows in our first computer experience, I guess, thats why noone wants to change his computer knowledge
Also, if you facepalm for that already, I guess you're facepalming pretty much on a day?
hey since you kinda showed already that you have experience with linux, do you also have some 'more' knowledge bout ssh?
I keep running into "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" (already googled it ofc), already raised max backlog and somaxconns, also added 'sshd: ALL' to /etc/hosts.allow but it keeps happening :( this is very annoying, since it will give me 'server X down' mails, which I cant really take serious anymore because of this xD
edit: actually forgot to raise these 2 settings on every machine, did that now and haven't received any 'server down' mail yet :OO looks promising :P
I am not this LFS or Gentoo Geek :D
Have some knowledge abou the basic and most of all popular distris
gonna put this on my CV now!
specially at ubuntu
u can just choose to install it or not and explore it normally like u did when u got ur first computer
no one can expect linux to be exactly like windows
+
the funtionality is exactly the same(yeah u lose at games@linux) everything else has a fair equivalent, u just cannot assume its windows, it doesnt work that way
he is used to windows
he has windows
anything he wants can be torrented on windows
he should upgrade
poor fucker
kTorrent is alright for downloading
Unity sucks, use gnome or anything else :<
Can run many games on there, ET included ofc.
newbuntu sucks
but there also such a tool for taking screenshots
