    Can I Run Linux On This Machine???

    I run Ubuntu Breezy (haven't gotten around to updating it yet) on a PII-300 with 64 MB of RAM. I've tried KDE, Gnome and XFCE on that machine and: KDE was too slow to be usable. Gnome is slow (almost painfully so) but still usable. XFCE was very quick but I found it ugly & confusing.

    Do all Linux FTP Daemons require users created in the OS itself?

    It sounds like you're a bit confused. The FTP server generally runs as it's own user with minimal rights to make it much more difficult for some cracker to attack your box via the FTP service. Then there's the issue of what users can connect to your box via FTP. For this, VSFTPD has...

    POLL: What is your favorite Linux Desktop Environment?

    What DE I use depends on the hardware. On my main rig, it's KDE all the way. :D On my ancient laptop, I've tried XFCE but felt completely lost so currently I use Gnome. However I'll probably be doing a wipe/reinstall on that hunk o' junk and putting Ubuntu Dapper on it. I haven't decided on...

    Just got Ubuntu 6.06 installed and have a few questions.

    Im having trouble getting the internet in Ubuntu, Please help

    I think you mean to say that Linux doesn't always do well with wifi cards, as some routers are run on Linux. In any case, you might want to look at these sites: Ndiswrapper | Instructions for Ubuntu or Ubuntu Setup Ndiswrapper HowTo

    Ubuntu Troubles

    If you want to work with apt-get/synaptic but stick with SuSE; then you should look at APT for SuSE. I've been running SuSE 9.2 for quite a while now but I've been using APT to update KDE to the lastest/greatest. :)

    iTunes for Linux

    I use amaroK for general audio playing and CastPodder for downloading podcasts. I've not tried out amaroK's podcast support, but it does have it. From the amaroK FAQ:

    Need suggestions for linux software...

    FSCDiablo is right. amaroK is the way to go for audio files. For video files (after you get the codecs installed), you might want to try out Kaffeine. It can use a variety of backends (e.g. Xine) and in my experience it's more stable than MPlayer.
