    RE: Applications and World of Warcraft
    No Problem, I got fallout new vegas working almost perfect with PlayOnLinux, WoW has been around for so long, and so many people play it, I really bet you have a great chance at it working perfectly.

    Good to be back.
    I haven't been able to post for a while due to being busy. I finished up everything to get my AAS CIS Degree (Associates of Applied Science in Computer Information Science) yesterday and I'm already enrolled and scheduled to start my bachelors. Basically I've just been busy with life. It's good to see all the old faces still posting. Good to post again myself. How has everyone been?

    Neither have I, lets just say I think paranoia and safety are needed in all computing to stay safe and running easily. =)

    RE: I'm another Noobie to Linux
    Welcome =) Not sure what version of linux mint you got out of the magazine, but i'd recommend getting it directly from their website for a full version. Also try Ubuntu which is what Linux Mint is based off of, my favorite version personally is Kubuntu so I'd recommend trying that. The difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu is that Kubuntu comes pre-installed with a KDE GUI. Which in non jargon terms, means its a version of linux a window user can easily use. You can download it here: http://www.kubuntu.org/

    RE: Bootable partition FAT or NTFS in Slackware Linux
    I'm going to give my 2 cents and try to help the situation: The first question was should you install Linux on FAT or NTFS, second question was how to do it. Now your questions are mixed and confusing. Let me simplify, Install Linux how it should normally be installed, Install windows how it should normally be installed. Next, when you run into a problem, ask us how to fix it. I simply don't believe what your trying to do is needed or necessary.
