I prefer to boot using the Live CD to make sure everything works ok especially to make sure my wireless will work and then choose the desktop icon to install. Are you doing a stand alone install or a dual boot? less

Kevin V → Don Crowder: Have you ever used "Bluefish" or "KompoZer"? If so which did you prefer?

Don CrowderNo, I've never used either. I've never used any sort of WYSIWYG. When I was still using Windows (prior to 2006) I liked NoteTab. Since I went full_time Linux I've mainly used Gedit.

When I was still using Windows (prior to 2006) I liked NoteTab. Since I went full_time Linux I've mainly used Gedit. I downloaded WattOS to try on my Dell, Latitude C600 but can't get it to boot (stdin: error 0). I normally only try live CDs and won't install the OS if the live CD won't run, because, in my experience at least, if the live CD won't boot, neither will the installed OS. less

depends on your love of code :). Kompozer is very easy to use to quickly edit for non code ninjas. Bluefish is more targets to devs and editors of code.

The only coding I've done is some very basic HTML/CSS on my website and I've always preferred to write my own code, simple as it is, instead of taking on the learning curve of a WYSISYG. less

Kevin VAnybody know of a good text editor like notpad++ to use in Lubuntu?

Try Gedit or Scite. Both should be in the repo.

After going to the Folding@Home site (http://folding.stanford.edu/) I was able to get it up and running, just thought I would let you know if anyone else was interested.
Does anyone know if wattOS has a tem for Folding@Home? less
Kevin VDoes anyone know why I cant see my samba shares on my Windows 7 laptop? I understand it might be a problem with Windows 7 Home Premium, any thought or ideas?

Kevin VStill new to the whole Linux world and was wondering if anyone can tell me how to install "Folding Home" or a link to where I can get help from. Thanks Everyone.
Kevin VInstalled wattOS on dinosaur computer 1 GHz with 640MB of ram, seems to have revived it somwhat. Whats the oldest/slowest computer wattOS has been installed on?

I had wattOS R3 running on 666 Mhz processor w/ 256 Mb ram. Had to change browser to Epiphany. Firefox was too heavy. Other than that, wattOS R3 ran very nicely.

I have set up dual boot. Windows ME for games and any Linux for going online. This would be done on an old pc. The oldest had 128 mb ram and 433 mghz processor. wattOS is good for these old pcs.
