I have got the .iso file of Damn Small Linux-N. I am currently using Windows XP and want to try it out. How should I go about using DSL-N from here I have no idea. Please explain in simple steps. I've heard that it runs from a pen-drive but how? Web search has been of no use as I am very very new to Linux. What is a Live CD and how to create it???

I am trying to clear the DNS. I am using a wirless connection. When i type on the following message into the command prompt "ipconfig /flushdns" (without the parentheses) it fails to clear the DNS. The message the pops up instead says "Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Funtion failed during operation". Does anyone know what to do? i have also tried displaying the DNS and then clearing it, but it even fails to display the DNS.

Hi,

I am thinking of purchasing a new video card. The one I am looking at has the correct specs but is "dual display" . I only want to use it on a single monitor. How does this all work. I am new to this sort of stuff.

Thanks so much!

As an electronic musician I've amassed a large set of composition files, a set of data that only gets bigger. I don't ever want to lose this data or have a project I've written end up corrupted and unavailable.

Should I use archival (gold) DVDs? What a hassle (with 200GB+ of files, and each DVD only ~5gb, thats 40 tedious burn operations, asumming all of them work perfectly!).

How about a 200 or 300gb hard drive? How long will inert, unused data stay around uncorrupted on a regular consumer hard drive?

I'm expecting that in 10 years or so, I'll move this data somewhere else, so the longevity of the media only needs to be guaranteed up that point.

Thanks!

I want to buy this AM2 mobo. Its sweet I love it. The Price now is 79.99 after mail in rebate. Should I buy it now or wait and see if it goes down more? I am afraid it might go back to 120 or 100 again. Opinions?

So, since all laptops except for a select few have vista now, would getting a 32-bit laptop be better than a 64-bit or vice versa? And if I got a 64-bit I'd still be able to play like city of heroes or new games like world in conflict right?
