You are probably looking for this article in the Debian Administration guide.

It's a fairly common thing in the *nix world to write your programs in two parts. One part is a server, and one part is a client. Even X11 (your display server), functions that way. This allows a...
Just installed them, and it doesn't look like it. Which now really piques my curiousity, since I have to wonder where you got those packages, and what you intend to do with them? I assumed you...
It looks like there's an arm cross compiler in the repositories. So all you really have to do is
sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabi
But if you insist on doing it all manually (I...
Sounds to me like your immediate problem is your video drivers. Your card is quite old, and AMD has dropped Linux support for it. There are no proprietary drivers for your card. Which means you...
It's been many years since I've bothered updating my BIOS. But the last time I did it, I did it via FreeDOS booted from a USB drive. I would assume that most motherboard manufacturers still have a...
Yes, my xorg.conf lacks a video card, as I let X11 autodetect it for me (THAT is what was changed in Hardy. The xorg.conf is still very valid). It works surprisingly well. You can also try this...
Here's my xorg.conf for Hardy, with a Intel 915. It should probably be pretty similar for you.
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)

# This file was generated by...
I think you are referring to the Russian Anthem. :)
Wikipedia can hook you up with MP3 and OGG. But yeah. I would really like to learn Russian as well. I made a mistake and took Japanese in...
in the alpha centauri root directory, there should be a few shell scripts (at least there are on my box. I obtained the game through questionable sources, as I already had the Windows version, and...
I have an i915 card as well. The game runs fine in Windows, but it runs like *** in Linux. The difference is that for me, it says I don't have direct rendering. I'm running Feisty.
I'm thinking...
Thanks for the warning. I rarely ever update the BIOS (for that very reason), but that's very good to know. I am typing on a Toshiba Satellite at this very minute as I dist-upgrade to Feisty.
I kind of figured that would be the response. ;) I do know some MIPS assembly. I'm not good with it by any means, but I'm sure I could fake it enough to hack together UI/input for an MP3 player. ...
Interesting. I didn't know that. I always thought that when you get down to the REALLY low level programming, you had to use some weird proprietary language, or assembly. But really, I wouldn't...
Huh? There's something with a C compiler that doesn't have a C++ compiler? Can someone point me towards that? =P I am terribly curious now.
This should be your bible when it comes to DOM scripting. The Gecko DOM Reference. It specifies what Mozilla supports, and specifies whether the features are legacy, or standard. In this case, I...
you can attach files to your posts, you know? :) Just click manage attachments at the bottom.
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev build-essential
that command, when entered from the terminal should get you up and running.
Actually, there are legitimate uses for such things, if you are doing some low level development of binary formats. I wrote a database application once that did low level changes to a binary file. ...
The US has some seriously scary lack of privacy legislation. Google is an American company.
How about if I just increase the opacity on the text sections instead? That would make the text sections a lot darker, and would make it easier to read. I am not fond of the colour orange at all. ...
I wish it was Italy. :) But sadly, it's Venice California. (Sorry, I should have been more specific on that). And I already have a girl, so there's not much attraction there. :P
Months. I have an Ubuntu file server, running Dapper. It has a bad stick of memory, and I am too lazy to compile the badram patch for the kernel. So it needs a reboot every so often when it has a...
Linear Algebra and Cartesian Vectors are definitely things that should be well understood before ever learning 3D graphics. Doing otherwise would be like trying to learn how to program without...
