Why r there no KDE users on Ubuntu ?

Cos Kubuntu is never as polished as ubuntu is.

No more gaming for windows (I will miss posting in screenshots thread in gamer section).

Still there are some nice games in linux.

Am now completely on linux (ubuntu). Will not touch windows till the next installment of Stalker releases

One can always dual boot.

I need a good torrent client like utorrent, and do i need to do portforwarding, as by default i think IPTables allows traffic in and out.

iptables work at kernel level. So, it's only restricted to your computer. You need to forward the ports on your router for better results.

It may sound dumb but i hav created a / and /home of 5 and 6GB each, so how do i check if my home folder is really mounted to the drive assigned for /home ?

The mounting will be fine, don't worry. For automatic mounting at boot time, init uses /etc/fstab.

I can share internet to other computer on LAN using Firestarter, but is there any guide to do it manually.

By NAT'ing. It's just a 2 step process
1)Create a file /etc/rcS.d/S99nat
2)Put the following in the file

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

OR
1) Open /etc/sysctl.conf and uncomment/add

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

2) Open /etc/network/interfaces, under your interface that connects to the internet, add

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

I want to share files over to windows system on LAN using SAMBA, So what all packages I need to install and how to do it using samba conf file (I have done it a few months back but forgot which entries to add )

Check *samba.netfirms.com/ for basic setup.
Also, *ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Samba_Server

Don't edit everything to first post. It makes it difficult to find new questions. And spoils the continuity sometimes.

Why r there no KDE users on Ubuntu ?

Actually theres quite a few. I use KDE. I believe Qwertymaniac does also.

No more gaming for windows (I will miss posting in screenshots thread in gamer section).

If you use Wine Git and Patch it theres quite a few Win games that will run on Ubuntu also. However you definitely won't get the quality you do in Windows. However I hear that there are some alternatives which are quite fun.

*appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7377 . Stalker runs on Wine. However I'm not sure how well it will do.

OMG...man thats unbelievable Am installing wine RATM.

[FilledVoid]

yeah theres a bit to do before you can get it to run on Wine. Make sure you read that before trying to run the game

Menu and loading works fine but after synchronization it just hangs, maybe i need a bit more ram or good gfx card.
