    Linux Quick tip for seamless virtualization

    Well I have tried gtkpod and it works (as in it detects my iPod, can transfer music). But my main use case is that when the iPod is plugged in all my stuff should automatically synchronize without me having to so much as lift a finger (lazy person).

    I recently picked up an iPod from the TE member's market (iPod Nano Black 4G :ohyeah: ). As I only have linux at home, I started running into issues while attempting to sync it with any of the available AV applications. Tried Amarok, banshee, rhythmbox. While some of them do allow you to put...

    Linux Which is more stable Linux OS between Ubuntu,Mandriva,Opensuse and Fedora

Fedora has always been a pain for me; while they do ship with latest and greatest software, most packages I've...

    Linux Fast user switching

    Which version of RedHat Linux are you using? Older RHEL version do not support fast user switching as far as I know. If you're running Fedora 7 or up fast user switching should work (although 8 or 9 may have the least buggy implementation).

    Linux Fedora 11 (Leonidas) Discussion Thread

    Been running Fedora 10 for the past few months now waiting for 11. Annoying (but inconsequential) bug that keeps following me across every distro is that the screen flickers for a few seconds after the gnome logon prompt. I'm guessing it's an issue with the ancient 915 chipset on my laptop...

    Playing with Gimp 2.6
