I need to get a Laptop / Tablet for general all-round use. Here are the requirements :
1. Linux Compatible
2. Ultralight ~1-2kg
3. Solid State Hard Drive
Otherwise, decent specs ought to do it.
I looked at the Dell XT, and liked almost everything about it, but it seems that it has...
Since we have quite a few knowledgeable programmers and more than a few budding programmers, I thought it'd be useful if we had a thread on programming challenges and the like.
In general,

On my new computer I decided to try out kubuntu, and I've done up my partitioning as follows :
sda1 : /boot : 128MB (ext3)
sda2 : / : 75GB (reiserfs)
sda5 : /home 75GB (reiserfs)
sda6 : swap : 1GB
Installation went fine, and I told it to put GRUB on my second hard disk, the first one...
I just bought my new rig, and I'm having problems off the bat with my motherboard. The two things I need help with right now are these :
1. I get a "Detect drives done, no any drive found" error. (Look here to see exactly what I mean : *www.andytaro.com/images/load1.jpg). I have no idea...
It's finally time for me to ask my fellow forum members for advice on buying a new computer from scratch.

Windows XP Prices also listed for comparison.

Is there any way to make the ls command display directories first, then the files? I tried the ls -X switch, and while this puts the directories first, it groups the rest of the fiels by extension, something I don't really want. I want the firectories to be in alphabetical order, followed by the...
Microsoft is trying to recover ground after having delayed Vista so much. I feel a bit mad though, at the kind of subversion companies do, to up sales, especially this line :
It's contemptible, really.
I decided to try out the Java tutorials at the Sun Microsystems Website, But I ran into some problems. See if you can help me out.
I've already installed the latest JDK, 6b2.

Motorola unleashed the latest in their ultra sleek and low end phone series. Called the Motofone F3, it's priced at $50, which should come to about 2250-2500 Rupees. It's very light on features, but it does what a phone's supposed to do. My only gripe is that it's B&W.

I'm thinking of getting the Logitech G7 Mouse for my new computer, but I'm at a loss as to which keyboard to get with it. Cordless is almost a necessity, ergonomic (wave) layout is preferable, as that's what I'm used to using. My main hurdle is that most cordless keyboards come as a set with the...
