If you're preferring Debian, you might want to give this one a try.

I'm interested in why XP is not stable. What sort of errors and problems are you getting? What is your system, e.g. brand and model?

I want to play windows games in linux and my PC is a bit old so i want the DE to take as little resources as possible. btw, why is there Remastersys in the "best" software for linux, when it's no longer available? Can't be the best is no one can use it. Any other software that can do a live custom dvd? |

Topala SIW, which I use, does that even on stable systems. Like other system utilities it is inspecting memory and other hardware in ways that most programs don't and is much more likely to crash.

I still remember when i used a commodore 64 and that was all i had to do, use it. No trying to make it work. A program just worked or it didn't and when it didn't it was because the floppy was damaged or had gotten too close to a magnet. Then we got a 386 and i started fighting with computers. Dos, win 3, win95, win98, winXP and now finally Linux, my latest attempt at trying to make a computer do what it should, just work. |

Installed virtualbox and tried Wheezy Lxde, but then XP crashed, so i re-installed it, it crashed, so re-re-installed it, it crashed so i tried to re-re-re-install it, but i couldn't boot after the file copy, so i tried fixing using a Debian live Wheezy Lxde on a usb key (had to go use a friend's computer to get it), but i couldn't so i just formated the drive in ext4 and installed Debian Wheezy Lxde from a full cd.
When i couldn't set my resolution using the lxde monitor settings and was told on there channel that it is a known bug, i decided to install Xfce and that is what i am using right now. So far so good, still have problems with the resolution not staying at what i set it, but that's probably because of the "free" Nvidia driver. I started reading the documentation, as the Debian Support channel is not completely newbie friendly. If linux users want windows users to make the switch, they should make it easier to start really using linux. I know Ubuntu is easier, but only if you use it like most people use windows, meaning whitout knowing what the ... they are doing. I know just enough of linux to know i don't know nearly enough. Today, the first time i started my computer, the wifi didn't connect and all i could do was reboot and hope. Lucky for me the second time it did connect. What's a good gui firewall for Debian Wheezy Xfce? While i was trying Lxde on virtual box, i tried Gufw or some such that is recommended here, but it's set to only show on Unity (bad ubuntu). Is it possible for WinXP to access an EXT4 partition reliably and whitout any chances of damaging it? If yes, how? Last edited by Paxmilitaris; 24. Aug 2013 at 05:26 AM. Reason: Forgot a question. |
