Finally got rid of Windows : WORKGROUP !

Dear Forum , Hi , I am using Linux Mint 17 happily since 14/10/13 , but a recent generic release upgrade caused me to lose my TB6280 PCI-E tv tuner card . Using the open source loader I was unable to get the git update to work with incompatible Linux Headers , and so I reverted my system to Linux Mi...

Dear Altair , Hi , using your helpful guide I managed to set up access to my Plusnet Hub 1 router USB (I believe equivalent to the BT HH5a) , for use with the Gentoo systemrescueCD 'live' disk for backup .

Live TV is most easily accessed by a 'vlc channels.conf' command on the terminal command line and the picture is good , and sound t...

Hi , I'm British senior citizen using Ubuntu since 2007 and most recently on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS . The Linux Mint Maya installation DVD worked a treat without a single hiccup and the Gnome desktop is such a relief after Ubuntu's recent tablet like OS developments . The one oddity was a restricted range...
