Yes; and Xfce is great stuff. :)

No specific numbers, so must speak very generally: gaming computers tend not to need lots of RAM

Ubuntu is fine. You could also try out Linux Mint. I personally prefer it over Ubuntu.

Not this version, no, but previous ones.

IMHO, barebones and Linux are not a good mix.

Tempted... :D

You can use your Windows like you normally would, including all maintenance procedures. Don't worry about it. :)

Just to make sure there is nothing wrong with the data file itself: does it read properly if you transferred through something on-line (and so without having to worry about what might happen with...

You'll have to be more specific on where you are stuck.

This question is not as easy to answer as it seems because it really depends on the sort of problems you anticipate, what you do with your machine, and how you plan to restore it, if it should fail....

You are only as secure as your weakest link. You cannot rely on the security of your client accounts for the security of your site.

Hello LF, did not mean to disappear for so long. I intended to stick with the travel plan, but I got sidetracked and moved to a beautiful town called Fedora. Some guy I met on the Internet sold me...

Smokey, could you ask your brother what distro/version when you see him?

CentOS is great. Don't know if it's the best though. :)

The difference between CentOS and Red Hat is support. CentOS does not have RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) support. ...
