How do I edit my grub config file? I need to change which OS is selected by default, and I can't figure out how to edit it. I do remember it was a command that I typed in the terminal last time I...

Who else is excited for Ubuntu 12.10?

I'm really looking forward to the Unity improvements and better performance.

What about you?

You're actually one of the few people I know who prefer KDE, everyone else seems to like Gnome or super minimalist desktop evironments.

Actually, a lot of Debian repositories are interchangable. That's part of why Debian distros are so awesome in my opinion.

I don't think he was implying that Ubuntu was Debian, but was most likely just providing facts for those who didn't know that Ubuntu was derived from Debian.

Ubuntu's great, I think you'll like it a lot. When I found it I was so happy, I had tried so many distros before finding it.

Yes, Lubuntu uses LXDE so it would most likely run pretty snappy on that computer.

It's using a modified version of Gnome 2, but others are also available.

The developer has changed deep system stuff to make it faster. Not sure about the technical side.

I have no idea. I wouldn't use it if I were you since it's essentially a dead browser.

IIRC it was Windows only, that might be your issue.

Ah I see. I still prefer Ubuntu though :P
Thanks for the recommendation of customizing Debian.

Flock was a web browser based on Gecko which is the same engine Firefox uses. It was a lot like Rockmelt if you know what that is, meaning it had a lot of social stuff built-in. I didn't like it that...

Adonis is big because it has a lot of packages included with it. Right now my favorite thing about it is the speed, it seems to be faster than other distros I've tried.

It most likely will, it's a web server so it work well with Webmin. You might want to check that online though.

nginx is indeed free, it's litespeed you have to pay for. I hear all three (Apache, nginx, litespeed) are pretty stable when configured properly.

I'd personally want something with more stuff, Puppy is too minimal for my tastes. And I'd install it on the netbook's hard drive as well, not a pendrive :)

What's the best Netbook distribution in your opinion?

Even after Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook Remix merged, I still think Ubuntu is pretty great for netbooks. What about you? Do you prefer something...

I use Chrome and I'm having no problems uploading images to eBay. Firefox has been extremely buggy with the latest flash update so maybe it's time to switch to Chrome.

You're welcome, nyxcharon on Computer Forum is the guy behind it, and I've been following development for the past few weeks :)

I wouldn't completely trust results provided by the makers of Litespeed :P But thanks for the articles.

Apache is good for small sites but I heard nginx is much faster for high-traffic sites.

By the way, W3CTC actually made my WordPress sites slower, and cached things like the admin bar, which made...

You used to be able to run Linux on a PS3 but Sony removed that feature in an update :(

Try Chrome, I highly recommend it. I really hate Firefox with a passion, it's laggy on any computer I've used it on, the UI is terrible, and they really don't innovate with it.

Another good choice...

I know I'm one of the few, but I actually like Ubuntu's Unity. It's really nice, and I love the sidebar.

I also like GNOME 3.

Distros I've liked include Ubuntu, which I use as my primary distro, OpenSUSE, which I used to use as my primary, Mint, which is pretty darn awesome but I prefer Ubuntu, PepperMint, CrunchBang,...

I've heard a lot about nginx. A few things I heard include that when properly configured it's faster than litespeed, which is shocking to me because litespeed is pretty darn fast.
