Yes it is. But we do not recommend this option unless your hardware is powerful enough. Meaning you probably could install any current Linux distribution.

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu Server all share the base (kernel, low level programme mes). This means you can install any of them on any other. GNOME is the default desktop for Ubuntu. It can also be installed with the ubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Ubuntu, please see Ubuntu on the desktop. KDE is the default desktop for Kubuntu. It can also be installed with the kubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Kubuntu, please see Kubuntu.

Yes. You can run ANY Linux application on TINY Linux. But depending on application hardware requirements, it can very well be impossible in fact for your old machine, or very unpractical and slow. Caution : when you sum up hardware requirements, take into account all libraries and dependencies !

We'd sure love to! The problem is, we don't have a clue how to do it =). If anyone else is capable of programming the KDE/GNOME side of this extension, we would welcome the help. For now, a good tool for tray minimizing on Linux is KDocker. It works for all NET WM compliant window managers, including KDE, GNOME, Xfce and many more.

Many people have requested a Linux and a Mac version of WorldFlash. Thanks for the response, however at this time we're only supporting Win95/98/NT/2k/ME/XP. When there is more to report on the progress of the ported programs, it'll be announced at this web site. to top

No. Conglomerate will run perfectly well under KDE, provided you have installed all Gnome 2 shared libraries neccessary for Conglomerate to run.

Yes you can. But if your hard disk is small it won't give you what you expect. You'd better choose the best operating system and work only on it. Don't ask which operating system !

Yes it is possible. However, you need a compatibility layer on Linux for running Windows programs like Wine HQ.

KDE is easy to work with and has many useful features and well-integrated components such as the PIM package (Personal Information Manager). Additionally, KDE is probably easier for people that used Windows before, but this is rather a nice side-effect than a main reason for this choice.

Initially, Freespire will be built around the KDE environment, but again, being a community project, it's certainly conceivable that GNOME variations will emerge over time. However, it's important to know that Freespire believes in using "best of breed" applications in the default distribution, so you will find both GTK and KDE based programs in Freespire, and you can swap applications in and out using CNR or apt-get.

Start the live system in qemu: qemu -m 256 -cdrom debian-live/binary.iso -boot d -redir tcp:4222:10.0.2.15:22 Change everything you need (e.g. add icons to desktop, change background, set preferences). Compress and copy the /home/user from the live system to your host (using tools like scp). Then include that directory under config/chroot_local-includes. In that directory you must have a "./home/casper" directory structure. After that, it is necessary to make the correct owner start KDE.

The Gnome and KDE desktop environments can get into such a state that they either won't start or start more-or-less uselessly. Or you may just have configured a miserable combination of fonts, colours and desktop images and want to start afresh. In either case, it's simply a matter of logging out, renaming the configuration folder(s) and starting the desktop again. Note that when you reset your configuration, you will lose all customizations made under those environments.

It is recommended that you have 12 or 16 to run your applications with some degree of comfort. Yet with "quickroot" as your second installation disk you will be able to install the system with only 8 MB RAM

Not really. If you manage to have the distribution installed you could run it but TINY is optimized for 8 to 16 MB RAM. TINY does not try to be as small as possible, but to allow real work in a reasonably comfortable environment.

Evolution is a Gnome application and should normally work perfectly under KDE if you have the required Gnome libraries installed. If you start Evolution under KDE from shell/console/terminal prompt/commandline and get errors about QPixmap and QPainter, it is very likely a theme problem. Try to not use gtk-qt, try a different theme under KDE.

Developing, internationalizing, localizing, and testing software is expensive. For this reason, when there was a choice in Sharif Linux between different pieces of free software providing the same functionality, we needed to choose only one. For example, between OpenOffice.org Calc and Gnumeric, we chose Calc because of its better support for Microsoft Office documents.

Server hangs, or fails to start, and/or error log fills with "fcntl: F_SETLKW: No record locks available" or similar messages I upgraded from an Apache version earlier than 1.2.0 and suddenly I have problems with Apache dying randomly or not restarting properly On a SuSE Linux system, I try and configure access control using basic authentication. Although I follow the example exactly, authentication fails, and an error message "admin: not a valid FDN: ...." is logged.

Yes. Just install Qt, kdelibs and kdebase, and from your favourite window manager, just launch Konqueror. It should work just fine, but if it doesn't (KDE developers don't test that case often), report it to http://bugs.kde.org and try running "kdeinit" before running Konqueror, it usually helps.
