I guess it depends on which codecs come pre-installed. From Distrowatch: Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. It also adds a...

Good luck! I hope everything works out! Mint has to be one of the best looking distros out there - that team definitely put a lot of work into the graphics. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Try out all three flavors to see which one suits you best though - KDE, GNOME and XFCE. I'm a GNOME guy myself...

That would be the first distro I recommend for a new user. It comes installed with all of the video and audio codecs you need right at install. It's also very user friendly.

Navigate to your etc/x11 folder and paste the contents of your xorg.conf file. The native screen resolution may not be in there, it may need to be added. I had that same issue with Debian Etch.

You can check it out here - Enemy Territory: Quake Wars for PC - Enemy Territory: Quake Wars PC Game - Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Computer Game It's supposed to be pretty good, I've never played it though.

I have heard of this happening when more than one input device was plugged in to a USB port. If you have anything besides the keyboard or mouse plugged in, remove it and try again.

Thanks for posting this. I was having difficulty installing openSUSE on a box of mine, and this worked flawlessly.

Re: Google Plans to Launch Web Browser This is still a Beta version, so extensions and themes may be in the works. So far, I'm pretty impressed with it.

I can really see both sides of the issue on this - Developers push the limits with games to get the pub that GTA and games like that get. Getting a game banned in a country or state is some of the best (even though bad) publicity they didn't have to pay for. Parents also need to realize that...

Re: Google Plans to Launch Web Browser Yeah, I caught that too. Haven't come across fine print like that before....

I'm pretty sure newegg would put the stand in there with the monitor. They don't include the accessories (CDs, cables) with open box items. The items are usually refurbished by the manufacturer and have a 15-day return policy, so it's worth a shot.

I agree - that machine should be able to run UT2K4 with no lags. Is this during online play? If so, your ping could be high, which would cause this. If its offline, see what the FPS are by hitting the ~ and typing stat fps, and let us know what you're getting. Around 30-40 should be playable...

Re: Google Plans to Launch Web Browser You can add new bookmarks with Ctrl+D, but I agree some things need to be added/changed. One cool feature is the On Startup - where you can add pages that load with the browser, all in tabs. Click the wrench on the top right, then options. It's at the...

Re: Google Plans to Launch Web Browser Using it now as well. Very quick, with some nice features, although it looks strange with the tabs above the address bar.

Check your display settings and see if the screen saver has been changed to one that displays a blue screen- I have seen those before. Right click on Desktop--> Properties.
