Guys, opinions please. Would it be better for me to boot up Linux on my soon-to-be new computer and partition one boot, one NTFS, and one HFS Journaled partition, installing Win 8 on the NTFS and OS X 10.9 on the HFS, or should I just partition an HFS, install Mac on it, and use Bootcamp to create my Windows partition and install it on there?

[blueblur121]

Install Windows first, then make partitions for other things. That's how I would do it anyway. I don't have much experience with dual booting though.

[$trinick]

[Bosnik]

i thought telnet was for windows, wouldnt that be more work than ssh to get it working on linux

yes but why bother when you can use the oh-so secure telnet that is faster!

Jesus christ. Windows servers are nightmares to deal with. I don't mean inconvenient. I mean it loving fights you every step of the way to do anything.

I'm so loving spoiled by UNIX servers.

Guys, I just got a super old computer with Windows 98 on it. What (Preferably Linux based) OS has hardware requirements low enough to run on something that old? I tried to install Lubuntu 14.04, but the kernel wasn't compatible with the CPU. (i think)

[blueblur121]

Bump.

Oh stuff guys I need help. Whenever I try to launch the compiz fusion icon I get this.

Code: [Select]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fusion-icon", line 63, in <module>
    from FusionIcon.interface import choose_interface
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/FusionIcon/interface.py", line 22, in <module>
    from util import env
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/FusionIcon/util.py", line 23, in <module>
    import os, compizconfig, ConfigParser, time
ImportError: libprotobuf.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
That means that I can't launch compiz, leaving my XFCE desktop completely broken.

There's a reason why Compiz is no longer in Arch's official repos. Just saying...

I'd either try it without the icon or ditch it and go back to XFWM.
