Making Linux Mint 7 work even better!

<< < (7/14) > >>

Darren:
Won't share files on a USB pen though  :scratch: Can't mount them or something .... do the files have to be on the HD?

Stefan Pynappels:
Well well, we have more interest do we? Cool!

Ok, some housekeeping first. Viruses? What viruses? This is not Micro$not you know, Linux is not hated by 150% of the world so it is not attacked  by every virus writer. You have nothing to fear from any virus written for Windows, and that means 99.99999999999999999% of all the viruses in existence. Seriously, I've never had any viruses in the 15 years I've been running Linux systems.

Networking is also a doddle, its what Linux was originally created for. Just remember that everything is based on whether your user has permission to access any file on the system. If you do, you're laughing.

Printers are normally no problem, just look for a CUPS (Common Unix Print Service or something) generic print driver for your printer. A little searching will normally find one and if it is a network printer, it is often easier.

Sorry I was not able to get to the sound problem again tonight, have ended work late and will not get a chance to look at this again until tomorrow. If anyone else has any ideas, feel free to jump in, that is how the Linux community tends to work, everyone chips in and problems (eventually) get sorted.

Talk to you tomorrow Darren, keep the faith!

Darren:
No worries Stef, I'm really  I'm really getting into this, the more I look at the OS the more I like it.

Still so far just the sound issue, everything else I've tried so far seems to work not only fine, but very well and easy. Not tried printers yet though.

I won't be around much during the day tomorrow, but I'll catch up in the evening on any suggestion you may pu to the board  :thumbup:

John Hill:
When you get that sorted Darren you will be able to walk me through getting Linux onto my Sony UX!   :lol:

Darren:
Wots a Sony UX  :scratch:
