Linux

Can someone please tell me where I can get a download of linux? I want to be able to just download it, and run it. I don't have any CD's or DVD's to burn it to at the moment. thanks for your help ahead of time :)

haha. hahahahahaha.

(pleasebeajokepleasebeajokepleaseplease.)

EDIT: If you're serious, VMware + Virtual Machine of your choice will solve your problem.

lol http://damnsmalllinux.org/ Put it on a flash.

Yeah, or Xubuntu will run off flash too. If you're new to Linux, try that, it runs fast and clean.

DamnSmallLinux is good too, its the first distro I used

and rofl @ lesser!!!

and… er… I kind of agree with him/her/it (haha)…

Download and run? You have to install it somehow… whether you dd a preexisting installation from a friend's hdd onto one of yours or install from CD or what. Just go out and buy a CD though! You won't get the full experience running a virtual machine, although it is a good way to try out different 'flavors.' There's really no point just using a virtual machine all the time though… but ask for help before installing so you don't wipe your hard drive!!!

And putting it on Flash… wouldn't you need to already have a virtual machine or LiveCD to do that?

after we solve this problem, i say we move on to how to run linux without a computer cus i dont have any to put it on.

On a ipod :D

:p niiice… 'cept I have a 4g nano, it's locked by apple encrypted firmware, no oen's sure what's it in… hopefully it'll be supported sometiem soon :S

I've got Linux on my iPod mini! w00t!

smooth…got DOOM on there?

@Thors

Im pretty sure it runs on nano fine :) search rockbox its replacement firmware for Ipod!!!

No, the first gen nanos are ok It's the second gen that are different… I have the red AIDS iPod haha

It is different in both hardware and software; and the firmware is encrypted, so no one has yet figured out exactly how the new iPod works. Hence, it is impossible to install any alternative firmware on it. the iPodLinux website has more info on it

and yeah its teh same for rockbox or any alternative firmware. Essentially, the second gen nanos are locked.

has Apple Inc. defeated us?

not yet, they just invented an encryption type we have yet to break.

Are you kidding? Hackers around the world are only supporting apple because we can shove linux on all of their products… now, the Apple Toaster… Damn that'd be sweet…. A toaster in which to play ROMs on… hells ya
