    GNOME or KDE, whats the difference?

    You're misunderstanding what Brazen said. KDE and Gnome aren't versions of an operating system, so there can't be a Home or Pro version. They're just different GUIs that you can put over the same base install (they're called desktop environments). A default KDE or Gnome install on a given...

    Linux SUCKS and should never be used by human beings.

    Ha, I can't believe I'd log in to respond to such a dolt of a troll, but I just kinda had to laugh at you a little. I've never told anyone to RTFM, but your attitude merits it. You're an insult to windows users everywhere, a damn hard group to insult.

    How-to Erase a Hard Drive?

    If you're installing XP, you're writing data over the disk, which is what zeroing the disk would do anyway. Defrag before and after install, should be fine.

    Xandros 4 vs Mepis 6 vs Kubuntu 6

    Isn't Xandros for-pay? Anyway, try them all.

    [Ubuntu] VMWare / xorg

    I don't see the problem. I get the same error when actually trying the 'Full Screen' button, but why bother. Set the resolution in the OS you're using in VMWare to your desktop res, and then use the 'Quick Switch' button (F11).

    IE7 to be distributed via Automatic Updates!

    I think it could cause a few problems, but not like people think. Personally, I'm glad they're doing it as a webdev because then I can forget about the pisspoor mockup of a browser that is IE6. Of course, I'm cynical and anticipate more CSS blunders that are going to require arcane...

    How to add hard drives in debian gnu/linux

    Linux did see them -- his issue was that his bootable array was renamed when his distro added the drives (it shouldn't have, imo), thus messing up which drive he's booting from. A quick grub menu.lst edit can fix that.

    How to install Linux - But keep Windows key..

    Sounds like that to me too, Brazen. You can get your key via TweakXP (http://www.totalidea.com/content/tweakxp/tweakxp-index.html). It's shareware, but you only need to run the program once. It's visible in one of the first windows (I'm on Linux and can't verify which, sorry).

    Is Linux Rolling Over In Its Grave?

    There isn't a "need" for a "separate" Ubuntu and Xubuntu. Kubuntu and Xubuntu are just prepackaged ISOs that ship with a different default GUI. You can install Ubuntu (default Gnome) and install XFCE, KDE, or whatever afterwards.

    What does Microsoft need to change before we buy Vista?

    Apparently this comes from Microsoft -- a .doc file is available via Google. You can get Google's HTML version as the first link here (I tried to direct link and the AT board spit out the code poorly). This is little news to people who have read Microsoft's EULAs (and most proprietary...

    GRUB is messing with my system...

    You don't need two different threads on this.
