  1. what are you running in your VM player? I was running ubuntu but had to uninstall everything to reinstall do to a slight noob issues but I am reinstalling now I l like the look and feel of ubuntu but am curious of other Linux distros and users opinions
  2. it detects everything else, why not the wireless
  3. yes as a vm the file sharing was working but now it has stopped I think I will uninstall everything and start from scratch.
  4. definitely will mount. Everything is up and running well b ut once again Linux fails to detect my wireless. on my dell inspiron 1520. I go look for drivers and everyone says get something called a wrapper or something like that but I have no I deal where to get it. I will Google again and see if I missed something.
  5. ok, i got it to work, thanks for the links. it works and it doesn't, I can see my vm and my xp box in linux but I cant see my linux box in xp. i swapped a file back and forward through the windows shared file but the shared i made in linux is useless
  6. ok i just installed Ubuntu on a VMs on top of a xp system everything is working fine and it looks and feel real noob friendly, problem is how do I set up my file sharing? ubuntu sees my windows computer but when I click on it I get a error message. can anyone help with this?
  7. Thanks, i will head on over to the sites and check them out, I was on the HAK5 IRC today and I mentioned to the crew that i want to do a dual boot but everyone said it was hella hard for a noob to partition in Linux. I want Linux bad but i don't really like the live CD since when i am running it I can you my CD drive. I can't go straight Linux since I do photography and Graphics and I need to be able to use Adobe Suite 3 Gimp is good but PS CS3 is the shit. So I really really really want to do a dual boot. Question I know very little about VMs, If I load Linux on a VM will I be able to save files to my main hard drive or will I be forced to save and back up files on a USB stick?

I had problems like this with my dell inspiron 1300. I had to use ndiswrapper (google it)to overcome it and does get kinda indepth working through this, however with Linux 2.6.17 kernel the driver for broadcom 43... cards are there and you shouldn't have any problems so check which kernel you are running. Also if you are just starting with linux I would highly recommen going to linuxreality.com and lietenning to the podcasts -they are great and the forum there is helpful - also have and irc channel as well. Linuxbasics.org run a good free course as well and again have forums and irc.
  9. WoW, Am I the only black guy here?? I will post my pic in the morning
  10. Is that fruity loops? I hear Reason is better. I have them both but waiting for my midi keyboard before i dive into it
  11. You are so right, it is like trying to learn a new language and i think the vets here should welcome us noobs who really want to learn, I know a lot of uber noobs come in here claiming they wanna learn to hack just so they can show off to their other lame friends but that is not true for all of us, i want to learn cause I have always had a interest in computers and trying to mod things to make them better or find a new use for it all together. My first mod was using the lil rabbit ear transmitter and receiver for the old tv sets to transmit your cable from one tv to the other using radio frequency. I said hey if i can transmit Audio and video from a tv transmitting voice from a phone would be a breeze So I got my transmitter and cut the power wire and attached the 9 volt battery to it that i ripped out of my Army green G.I Joe Walkie Talkies (THAT PICKED UP AND TRANSMITTED TO CORDLESS PHONES) and I got a roll of black tape and some zip ties and snuck under my neighbors trailer and spliced their phone wire and hooked up the RCA plugs to their wire with some gator clips and zip tied the whole unit under their trailer. I ran home and hooked up the receiver to my tv and was just all fuzzy inside that it worked. I know it was wrong but hell I was 11, i didn't know any better
  12. I'm getting real pissed. I want to move to Linux but it is hard as hell, I can't even get it to recognize my wireless card. I'm not a windows expert or anything but I know my way around pretty good, trying to navigate around in Linux is hard as hell, I'm reading books and forums but it's still hella hard. I think I would learn better just by using it as my primary OS cause that's how I learned windows. I read a few books and picked up a few tips here and there but for the most part i learned by just using it. And with Linux I can't even load up all my devices to use it as my OS. I feel like a freakin retard
  13. Thanks, I will try this now, i realy don't have the cash to go buy a new card. And to let you all know I am seriouse about learning and not just here trying to get easy answers i went to the library today and got me a linux book intitled LINUX for windows addicts by: Michael Joseph Miller I know it might not be the best but it looks user freindly and that's what i need. Most of these sites, forums, and books claim to be noob freindly but are not, They forget that this is new to us and since they have been using said program for awhile they forget or assume we know what they are talking about.
  14. I downloaded backtrack and it loads fine but it does not detect my wireless card Dell wireless 1395 wlan mini-card manufacturer broadcom. D i need to install a driver? This is my first time using linux and I am lost, is there anyone out there with some free time willing to help out with some advice on how to configure backtrack or at least point me in the right direction?
  15. Hi I am new to this site, I found you all through IronGeek. I ran cross the program Cain and Able while looking for a program to recover some lost photos on my memory card. As I started reading about cain and able, watching you tube clips and researching other Network security programs and exploits I was just wowed at how much I thought I new but had no clue. I ran the program on my PC and my Jaw just dropped. Now I am like a hungry kid wanting more.
