Comment on Fluxbuntu: User-friendly Featherweight Linux? by admin

Dan,
I was referring to the fact that they include both Abiword and OpenOffice.org Writer. A complete office suite consists of more than just a word processor and a spreadsheet application; it also requires (at a minimum) a presentation program (powerpoint/impress).

Comment on BTGuard Anonymizing Service: Is it worth it? by melikeum

I signed up for BTGuard over the weekend and so far I’m happy with it. It makes sense that it would slow the connection down a bit but on tests I’ve ran I get pretty consistent speeds, usually between 2mb-3mb/s.

Has anyone else had negative experiences with BTGuard other than RayBez?

NOTHING will allow you to bypass that.

You download 20gb of information, you download 20gb of information. You will never be able to stop that short of exploiting or hacking their software.

This will just trade 20gb of random connections to trackers and clients to 20gb of connections to their servers.

In my experience, BTGuard is a SCAM!!!

I also recently subscribed to BTGuard and have not been able to connect to their server once.

I have not had any replies for support from BTGuard over the past 3 weeks (from day one).

Paypal is not willing to refund the purchase and their reply states: “Our investigation into the following transaction is complete. As stated in our User Agreement, the claims process only applies to the delivery of goods. It does not apply to complaints about the attributes or quality of goods received. Therefore, we are unable to reverse this transaction or issue a refund.” So, no support from them either.

I’m a new user of Linux and switched from windows.
My most of work around Gmail and other web mail services and regular uploading/downloading tasks.
As mentioned above I think there’s on serious need of Antivirus, but confusing on firewall.
Plz suggests me if need to firewall and if needed, which one to use. Or the firewal already in Mint menu is enough.

Comment on How to mount your drives over the internet using SSHFS by Samme

Samme — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 09:49:04 +0000

Great guide, but I can’t get it to work the way I want.

I’ve added the line to fstab, but it doesn’t mount at startup, and when I type mount test/ then it comes up this line asking for my passphrase, hmm…can someone guide my in the right direction?

Obviously I want the remote share to mount at boot without me ever needing to do anything, just like a local filesystem.

Thankful for any help!
