hm...what's the deal w/ linux partitioning the harddrives in to a bajillion partitions? some person at compusa was tellin me so

[saikee]

what is "a bajillion partitions"?

Linux officially can offer 15 partition on a SCSI/Pata/Sata/USB disk. You can get 44 out of it if you try.

Does COMPUSA still sell Linux?

[briealeida]

Just the OS?
On CompUSA's website, two versions of Xandros are unavailable but you can still be Xandros Home and have it delivered.

Is CompUSA still in business. They've closed 5 stores in the D.C. area.

[briealeida]

I think they are. I mean, from the looks of the website. And there's one in Pittsburgh, about 30 mins from my house and I think another in Cranberry. Not sure.

They might not be in good business anymore but they're still hanging on.

[MCole]

I know they closed most to all of the Massachusetts stores, but as far as I know the New Hampshire ones are still around. I don't think they can handle what Best Buy and Circuit City give them for competition.

[linuxphile]

Apparently they've closed or are closing 126 stores.

well we still have ours in Fresno California, We dont have the luxury of having a Frys, all we have is Circuit City, Compusa , and bestbuy

okay you guys....um so can someone tell me if i want to put the ubuntustudio os on my comp whether i have to have ubuntu feisty already on there or a sort of ubuntu server. before i had an ubuntu feisty server and i typed in command lines so that it retrieved ubuntustudio by my network connection but it kept saying that it could not download ubuntu-desktop. so do i have to have the ubuntu feisty os on my comp already?

and can someone give me really easy instructions on how to put it on a cd and then the install version because all my instructions i get are vague.

Plus the link that i downloaded it off of is a ( http://mirror.vault5.com/ubuntustudio/ ) 868 Mb download. i only have a 700 Mb cd.

There's a whole wiki about it here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio

No.
