Re: LINUX op

You can open pdf files using various linux programs, doesn't have to be adobe made (acrobat or whatever).

Ubuntu and other Linux operating systems have application managers where you can just search for "pdf" and it will give you lots of apps that do something with pdf files, like viewing, converting to another format etc

There's LibreOffice for example which is just like MS Office and can also read pdf files.

Foxit pdf reader has a version for linux as well: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/


I personally use the portable version of SumatraPDF but this one is Windows only as far as I'm aware.

It has to be Adobe reader Pdfs cause all my music sheet library for keyboard playing is converted to pdfs from my Finnale Music Program:

Re: LINUX op

WhaT you guys think of, Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition ?

[Sansui350A]

Re: LINUX op

Linux Mint 14 should have everything you need in it.. It'll open Adobe-made PDF's, any kind of MS Office Doc, etc.. If you need java search for openjdk. Ubuntu 8.10 is VERY old and unsupported now, Mint 14 is Ubuntu + the things needed to make it a generally usable desktop.. I suggest the Cinnamon version, MATE if you have graphics issues.

(Sorry guys been kinda busy, but felt I should chime in..)

Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon: http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=117

Universal USB Installer: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloa...er-1.9.2.1.exe

There you go, the link you posted is for MATE, btw.. what GPU does your system have?

[ivtec]

Re: LINUX op

It's Intel Core 32bt

Re: LINUX op

That tells me your CPU, not GPU (Graphics Card)... The only reason I ask is that you'll have to install additional drivers (VERY EASY) if you have an Nvidia or ATI/AMD Graphics Card in your computer, otherwise you're fine, and either version of Mint will work great.. use MATE if you have an Nvidia or ATI/AMD GPU...

Can you give detail instructions on making a Usb Iso,sorry if i seem a litle confused about it, i did once an ISO with a cd of win 7, but with USB never done it

Re: LINUX op

Download Universal USB Installer from the link I provided, launch it, follow the instructions. (Choose Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon from the list, select the letter of the USB drive from the list, etc.. hit next, wait.. done.)

Hope that helps,
Shawn

For the Universal USB Installer, the direct link to the file doesn't seem to work. Go to the page for the application (containing the instructions), scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on the "Download UUID" button.

I don't know what you got that wanted to install 7zip and some Yahoo crap. I thought that maybe the installer had that in it to. Free apps will do this as a way to generate some income. I never do an automatic install, and always select the "Custom Install" option. This way I can un-select unwanted crap.

I did download the USB Universal Installer from that site, and ran it. I use Linux and ran it using the Wine application, but it doesn't appear to be an installer. It seems to be the application self-contained, no installation needed.

As for what mirror to download Linux Mint from, choose one close to you, like "USA".

Here what it says .

Note: Please take note that this item can be used in DOS, MAC, and Linux. But first we need to set the key assignments in the Windows system, set the keys you need to use, then you can use this item in Linux system. Our hardware is supported the OS systems mentioned above, but the software is not compatible.

Re: LINUX op

It says that you must first run the Windows software and set up the shortcut keys it will use. It must save that info in the device, otherwise it wouldn't transfer to Linux.
