I'm now using Linux

[LBAWinOwns]

Seriously I can't believe I surf the MBN while at the same time I'm installing Linux!

My XP crashed today so I decided to go with linux .

And it's not hard at all! (I'm using Ubuntu)

So, anyone know if I still can use Borland Delphi, or is there any other good pascal compiler with linux I can use?

edit: How the fuck does the mouse wheel work lol

[Echomote]

Kylix is basically the linux version of Delphi not completely cross compatable though!

What do you mean by the scroll wheel?

[LBAWinOwns]

mouse wheel click is different.

Lol I'm pissed of now .

why the hell does Gaim or that msn program immidietly shutdown after I login XD?

edit: and why cant I reach my harddrive XD

[Streg]

lol i noticed ur crazy login-log-off :P
wait till it finishes installing, may be cos of some drives i dont know actually
and what u mean by reaching the harddrive? :P

[LBAWinOwns]

It's finished installing now

I can't neither login at msn or enter my hard drives XD, It says i can't reach it. and when i click "more info" it says:

"
fel: unit /dev/hda5 isnt moveable
fel: cannot run pmount
"
(I have in swedish but i tried to translate it)

How can you even start MSN when you can't get onto your harddrive?

And I guess you're writing this from a different computer?

[LBAWinOwns]

No i don't, I post from the linux one now.

I can read from that root thingie but I mean I cant see my old files from my windows system...

(Please enter irc and help me)

I'm not sure about everything else but I can probably help with

mouse wheel click is different.

as what I think you're talking about is the thing that pissed me off so much. In firefox write about:config in the address bar, on that put in the word 'middle' and a few options should be filtered, you change one of them...

oooh and

I cant see my old files from my windows system...

you probably replaced it all by installing Ubuntu over it xD

Kylix is no longer supported by Borland. Besides its too old and buggy. The good alternative of Delphi is Lazarus ( I use it on my Ubuntu :P ), its free and covers almost 100% Delphi at compatibility.

when i tried Lazarus it was the most buggiest thing I'd ever tried :s hope it's better now

[LBAWinOwns]

Ok, the gaim bug is soooooooooooooooooooooo annoying...

I can't even use my MSN

[Echomote]

try http://webmessenger.msn.com/

Your MSN problem...
Go to Applications > Add/Remove Programs > Enter the root password (or your password, they're the same) > on the left hand side there's a list of types of applications. Look for 'Internet' > select the aMSN check box > Click apply.
It'll install and viola.
You can now use aMSN.

Your hard drive Problem...
A little bit more difficult.
Open a terminal by going to Applications > Accessories > Terminal.
In there type:

fdisk -l

You should get a list of crap that you mightn't understand.
Just post it here and I should be able to help you.

Edit: Oh, and one thing that you should install is Beryl.
IMO and Chaos' too, It's better than Windows Aero!
There's more features than Areo can give you, and it doesn't require that many resources!

Lazarus is just a GUI on top of FreePascalCompiler (FPC). FPC is quite good. And you don't need to use Lazarus, it's just that it makes GUI development much easier.
