How to install a new GUI in Ubuntu For most people, when we venture into Linux, we first use Ubuntu. Wrongly, or rightly, it's a choice that many people including myself made. So we first download the CD, then partition our HDD and then install Linux. Now what? Well, for many first time users it's just a case of learning the ropes. Installing DVD codecs to play back media, installing graphics drivers and maybe playing about with a few internal settings. But beyond that, what is there to do? If you're like me and find exploring new operating systems fun, then maybe... read more

Ubuntu install guide Firstly, choose your architecture, though aside from older computers there's little reason to not use x64 these days. Desktop x32: http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=lts Desktop x64: http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=lts Next, we'll need to write the ISO on your choice of a CD/DVD or a USB flash drive. For this you can use whatever program you're familiar with; some common Windows programs would be " ImgBurn " and " UNetbootin ". Both of which make writing the ISO to your desired... read more

Hello and welcome to a full tutorial on how to install the BitFenix Recon. This guide assumes you have administrator access to your rig, as well as access to your router settings.

The cables and probes are labelled 1-5 to correspond to the 5 channels on the control interface. So go ahead and bolt the unit in, plug the fans in to their channels, and attach the temperature probes using the provided tape. Plug the... read more

Note: below is draft state. Will be adding more information as well information about different versions of different distros... I posted this to the official webmin-on-ubuntu sticky thread but apparently no one noticed. kc-tr seems okay with an updated re-post. I did revise the below slightly. The sticky on this subject hasn't been updated since mid-2009 so I'm going to post an update. I'll leave decisions about making it a sticky and what to do with the old one up to the mods. This is an easy method to get the latest version of webmin installed on Ubunutu Server... read more

Archlinux Install Guide.If anyone wants to be able to edit this, just ask and I'll add your name to the list.Due to the the AIF ( Arch Installation Framework ) being removed, everything is command line based now. But, installing Arch still could not be any easier. And most of this guide will be an almost copy/paste of most of the Arch wiki as it really is just that easy and straight forward.It won't go into as much detail as the Arch Beginners Guide though. Just enough to get you up and running, no more.The new image is purely a netinstall image due to Arch nature of... read more
