The Improvement in power consumption is nothing ubuntu specific. The 3.2 kernel has a fix for the "ASPM bug" which has been haunting linux kernels since 2.6.34. You would see an improvement across all distributions using newer kernels. The use of the " Gallium 3d LLVM" has increased the...

The one thing that stands out for opensuse is the installer. Its the best one i've come across. Plus SUSE is known for their superb kde implementation. Unfortunately the 12 series is still not as good as 11.4 was.

Thats good mate. No Matter what i did free bsd would not boot from my system ( An old p4 rig dedicated to BSD).Finally i settled with Ghost BSD gnome. Appreciation is also due to the PC-BSD team for coming up with pre-built Vbox and Vmware images. Work is under progress for bsd kms. You can...

Firstly switchable graphics like nvidia optimus is not well supported on linux. Some reverse-engineered projects have come up, but your mileage will vary. Nvidia as of now, has no plans of bringing optimus to linux. Arch users wishing to try out gnome-shell can look at kahel-os, a clone like...

For folks not satisfied with Shell or unity, and are unsure about Mate. Clem ( mint developer) has just released Cinnamom- a new shell for gnome 3 which looks very much like gnome-2. You can install it using the cinnamom-session package.

FreeBSD stands to gain a lot with debian experimenting with the kfreebsd kernel. The applications from debian userland will make BSD strong. The only thing that stops me from using PC-BSD full time is that aweful Mesa/DRI2/KMS support for my Radeon Card. I always buy Radeon cards , to show...

There are two problems here. First is that the .install script is not execuatble. make it executable by chmod +x ./install. secondly your are installing into the /root directory where you have no permissions. Try to install in your home directory or try "sudo ./install /root/desktop".

For all those users wanting to try Arch, but dont feel they are techniaclly equipped, you can try some arch clones and forks like crunchbang or chakra. chakra is especially good fork with absolutely no gtk dependencies. If you like kde and arch, this is the distro to get.

The latest canon printers have no cups ppd supported. That means it is upto canon to decide when to release their drivers. HP printers have always been well supported under linux.

Most files are /etc are basically configuration files. They control OS services and their behaviour.

Assuming you have a am2 processor, i suggest you go with Asus M2A-VM. nice performer.

There have been many changes in the linux 3.2 kernel, which address the unique structure of the bulldozer architecture. Testers running the latest kernel have noticed a boost,sometimes even upto 20% on the fx processors. This tells me despite the obvious shortcomings of the bulldozer platform...

PD would be launched with a new FM2 Socket. It is suicidal to upgrade to am3+ now. Amd plans to launch a 10-core processor based on pile-driver. I am holding all my cash and waiting for that. I am no fanboy, but love amd for the value they offer. And Intel seriously needs competition, otherwise...
