Question by : How can I safely install Linux on my computer currently running Windows 7?
I want to use Linux, but I have been using this computer for a substantial amount of time. I have nearly 8GB of music that I don’t want to lose, as well. How can I install Linux and manage to keep those files? Can I put them on my ipod from Linux somehow?

Make a clone image of your system so that you can restore it exactly as it was when you made the image.
PING works for me but you might prefer another cloning software.

Question by Lestat de Lioncourt: How do I hook up a Linux computer to the internet using an XP host?
I am running Fedora Core 5 on my laptop and I have Windows XP Media Center on my desktop which is connected to the internet via LAN. I want to know how I can connect to the internet from my laptop using my desktop’s net connection. I already have all the physical connections set up (network adapters and cable) and I’m already using my network for file sharing. Please don’t offer any suggestions on using Linux as host (I already know how much safer it is). I want help on dealing with situation as it.
Incidentally, I’m also facing trouble using ICS from my XP partition on the laptop. It used to work flawlessly before, but I think after I installed Fedora it stopped working (although file and printer sharing areOK). I ran the ICS wizard again on each comp, but it didn’t work. Any suggestions on what might cause that?

Answer by Alex S
First of all ICS or a proxy service are the way to go.
XP is a bit limited with other choices. If you already
had ICS set up for the XP partition the same settings
will work for the fedora one.
For the other part. No. Linux has nothing to do with it.
The ICS configuration ist just settings within the XP
partition. Linux can’t change that. You have recently
installed a firewall or made some firewall rule changes
on either of the crates?

Nexuiz is a free and open-source OpenGL game that runs natively on Linux. In 2009, Phoronix described version 2.5 of Nexuiz as the best open source FPS they had played, with refined gameplay and graphics that take advantage of modern hardware. This video once again proves that Windows 7 is the superior operating system to Linux since it is able to run Nexuiz multiple times faster than Linux on the exact same hardware — thanks to the better drivers and support — the performance difference is an astounding 140%. System Specifications: Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 @ 2.10 GHz Intel GM 965 (X3100) Graphics 3 GB of RAM Software used: Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit Linux Mint 12 32 bit Nexuiz 2.5.2 (1280×800) @ High Settings (Timedemo demos/demo2) used
