[temmaistudo1]

ISSO É VELOCIDADE DA LUZ MEUS AMIGOS, BEM VINDO LINUX MANDRIVA, VOCÊ É O MELHOR! By BRAZIL !

[sorenmarkable]

HA!! :D

-and some say Linux isn't as sexy as WinDos ... well, this vid show otherwise :P

[IrishHeroMan]

Fun video. I like Arch+Xfce myself.

[mrmazda212]

Mandriva...try Slackware! whats the name of that song?

[Urfriendlypixolinha]

Nice demo of KDE ... by the way: what's the title of that nice song you have on your vid?

[marobra00]

what about games bitch?

[sorenmarkable]

@marobra00

Wine can handle them .. if they obey certain rules ..

- I play WoW under Wine/Linux (Suse), and it works fine .. most times even better than under Win7 !! ;-)

[EnavSounds]

Very nice video... but i don't like kde anyway i prefer gnome

[JmsDrkx]

i like the linux idea but i am trying kubuntu 9.04 wifi doesn't seems to work

[Digalog]

Seems to run pretty tight, very nice

[nati032158]

i don't know wat this vid is about, but i got to tell u i rely enjoyed it.

[Cylamus]

You download the DVD or LiveCD and burn it onto a disc. Then you just go about it like installing any other operating system really. If you don't have an optical drive you can generally use a bootable USB. It didn't work on my computer, not even when I tried doing it in conjunction with MagicDisc. I think there is a good wiki article on it though.

[hofmanandre]

I just ran into this movie and wonder where the music comes from. Especially the first song you use.

Thanks in advance.

[Cylamus]

I would like to note that you have to have some insanely fast computer lol

[Robodude288]

no hes probbly running a modest setup linux's multi tasking capabilities are godly

[Cylamus]

I wish so much I could get my Mandriva or OpenSUSE to work. I don't have a disk drive on my computer so I tried to mess with BIOS and all this stuff lol. I ended up having to reimage it and I haven't collected the guts to kill a school distributed laptop again.

[metmou]

flash!

how did you open flash?

i'm having some annoying bugs with wine, ubuntu and flash CS3

can you tell me which config or translation layer app are you using to make flash run so perfectly?

[phtcsscthp]

@metmou

CrossOver by Codeweavers (cxlinux)...based on wine.

Sadly there is no free version available this time.

[scarthman]

just download the latest version of adobe flash player for free and you'll be able to do it.

[VitDavide17]

there is flashpalyer for linux if you are not talking about the flash pro (editor) that might work under wine (consult their databases).

[dreamice46]

it not bad, thank for upload this video

[stupidmonkey666]

I can't stand linux becasue of dependency hell.

[Keruaran]

You fail.

[greendayaddictions]

arch rox. ;)

[WinVistaUser2]

Dude, I have a WinTV HVR-950Q, but I'm trying to find drivers: WINE doesn't operate to install the drivers for the OpenSUSE OS.

OS: OpenSUSE 11.1 64 bit KDE 4.1.3.

[phtcsscthp]

@WinVistaUser2

Installing windows drivers with wine is bullshit!

Most WinTV-cards working out of the box...

open a tv program and try. Otherwise ask/search in a Suse forum or better use google. You would find a answer!

[poisenbery]

one more question: how did you stream tv to kaffeine?

was that something that was done with your at home cable or satellite connection?

[phtcsscthp]

@poisenbery

DVB-T (USB-Reciever) working out of the box. Plug in, search for channels...and watch tv.

Works fine with xine. Kaffeine is only a "gui" for xine and works with cable and satellite too.

Drivers if needed: linuxtvDOTorg

[ParanoiaToaster]

Will someone please list the songs?

[ParanoiaToaster]

I know the second song. It's the instrumental from "Just to Get a Rep" by Gang Starr

[poisenbery]

what themes are you using?

your mandriva looks cool! mine is so simple and boring >_>

[lovestospooj97]

is this (linux) hard to get used to? i had ubuntu and i hated it. awesome vid, i suscribed.

[bigmatt1169]

take a big bite of that bill gates.......

[mingching29]

i recently just got pissed off at my copy of windows which was reinstalled (again) due to a lot of driver issues... so i'm thinking of switching to linux.. is it user-friendly? i'm only going to use my computer for working mainly on spreadsheets and im a moderate gamer not requiring a very powerful graphics card.

[phtcsscthp]

@mingching29

Yes it ist very user-friendly when realize that Linux is not Windows! First it would be strange and new...but suddenly - perhaps after 1 or 2 month - you understand what your computer is really doing and how it works.

To play actual/new games leave Windows on a free partition...(You can run nearly every game on Linux too but you have to learn something. Some games are working fine...other are complicatet to run.)

[beriomario]

Hey man this is Great but how to pimp my Linux like this??? I'm using kUbuntu KDE4.1

Is this Mandriva??? Which environment is this???

[STLFANSS]

Hi I'm thinking of coming over to the Linux side and I Was wondering, would this distro be one you would recommend? I only know the main ones like Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Kubuntu. Just curious if this one is pretty easy as well.

Thanks man looks awesome.

[rauron9]

I can recommend you a number of distros. Ubuntu would not be one of them though. Ubuntu is over-rated. I never tried mandriva (unfortunately), so I can't comment on it, but I have heard good things about it.

[STLFANSS]

What would you recommend then? I have Aim if ya wanna chat.

[phtcsscthp]

It's difficult to recommend a special Distro. There are lot of Distributions you can try for free! Mandriva-Linux is good for Newbies...

Tip: Don't try KDE4 (K-Desktop-Environment v.4). It's pretty new and buggy. Try KDE3 or Gnome. But perhaps it's good for Newbies who don't know the "old" KDE because I'm using KDE since lot of years and and have some partiality with v4...it's very different to v3.

[STLFANSS]

Ok thanks man for the info. I'll see what I can get myself into lol.

Take care.

[a2zhandi]

haha he' just bluetoothed his phone to his computer;)

[cookhouse]

This is the best rapid fire Linux demo that I've seen so far. It shows that Linux is so much more than merely wobbly windows and cubed desktop switchers -- although I like a little icing on my cake, too.

[Jeromy1992Edwards]

where can u get linux the live cd sent to u from or do u no

[crstliner]

if ur lookin 4 ubuntu you can order it 4 free 4m their website

[phtcsscthp]

distrowatch+com

...download a linux iso-image of your choice and burn it on cd/dvd e.g....

[Baldurpet]

You can get an Ubuntu CD (a good flavour of Linux for beginners and advanced alike) sent to you for. Yeah, that's right. For _free_.

Just go to the Ubuntu homepage, select "Get Ubuntu" and click "Request free CDs". You have to register first though, but it's an awesome way of getting Linux if you don't know how to burn ISO images yourself.

[xsoadxx075]

i have a kid in my computers class who everytime a new windows release comes out he has to tell me how good it is. glad to see linuxi s gonna shred windows apart.

[Ezcut]

KDE its weak sauce...

[DarkS3phiroth17]

what about your spec?

[ocb0815]

není špatný, existuje stále chybí doprava :-)

[phtcsscthp]

...sadly the game manufacturer don't program for OpenGL too because it's not lucrative(financial). That's the only reason. There are solutions like wine etc. but it's nothing for normal users this time...

[TiLeNpWneD]

This means that windows sucks and all hail "the" kernel. Windows sucks lalalalalala, vista sucks.

[darkenigma2652]

To TiLeNpWneD:

Vista is horrible but XP is/was quite good.

[TiLeNpWneD]

Yes, I agree on that :)

I was exagerating, XP is good but Vista... just... sucks

[darkenigma2652]

Vista wouldn't be nearly as bad if it didn't have the Aero them. It's pretty but it degrades performance to a ridiculous degree. XP has a sleek, simple design so it has decent performance even though it's Windows.

[TiLeNpWneD]

Well, it has the aero so... it sucks, end of argument :)

Good luck to M$ with Win7

[darkenigma2652]

The Windows 7 theme is almost identical to Aero, except now minimized windows look just like shortcuts in the Quick Start menu so you can't tell wtf you're doing...

[TiLeNpWneD]

So, microsoft isn't getting better at all? It's getting worse?

[darkenigma2652]

Pretty much. That's why Linux and Mac are getting more popular.

[TiLeNpWneD]

Oh well, bad luck to microsoft :/

[crstliner]

you can say that vista was bad, but so was xp until the service pack came out!

[Baldurpet]

In my book, if you buy something it should work. You shouldn't have to wait for the remote to ship if you buy a TV, without a remote it's an incomplete set.

Windows might be the best operating system for you, but I don't like Windows' attitude; shipping faulty products, being underhanded in business and using a lot of money to eliminate Linux. Not only do I dislike Windows but I love Linux for other reasons, but in the end the best operating system for you is the one you feel most at home with.

[darkenigma2652]

Windows = High compatibility, fair ease of use depending on system

Linux = Choice, freedom, stability, community based

Mac = Best editing programs, and although I've never used one, I've been told it's even easier to use than Windows

[s04d]

very nice!

[DarkJediHacker]

Humph, which distro is this?

[phtcsscthp]

Mandriva (France) formerly known as Mandrake Linux....based on "Mandriva 2008.1 Free"

[DarkJediHacker]

Ok, thank man.

[superkiller45]

how do i get this

[uzair786uzzy]

can u switch back to ur windows like i have vista can i switch back

[peachmunich]

2:57 XD

good demo!

[danchod77]

About freakin time someone did a MEANINGFUL demonstration of Linux...unlike some of the others on here who are like moths to a fire showing off 5 useless minutes of the damn wobbly window effects. Thank you for a breath of fresh air.
