If I got you right, this could be the answer: x11vnc. You would need to run VNC on one side, but that could make sense, since X11 "traffic" (Do you call it traffic, if it's in a (local) pipe?) isn't compressed at all, or optimized for network.

Never heard of this client before, and even google has nothing about it. In debian you generally have apt / aptitude for software management. In a terminal, type: apt-cache search "<search term>" To search in the Debian repository's (Basically, a list of programs you can install) You can get more info about a program with: apt-cache show <package name> If you then decide to install a program, use: sudo apt-get install <package name><Should ask for password> Some debian UseNet clients can be found here: wiki.debian.org/UseNet This saved you a google search...

A good startingpoint would be the OSI reference model. But networking is a REALLY BIG topic...

I own a W700 since a few weeks now, and I'm really happy with it. It's amazing! I can trippleboot Windows, android, and Debian(The Linux SteamOS is based on). It has a really nice 1080P full HD screen, and the dualcore i3 + HD3000 IGP is more than juicy enough to watch some Movies 'n stuff. (You can even play minecraft on low settings! The full version, not the pocket edition). It's solidly build("Unibody" aluminium chasis), even though it's a bit on the heavier side. A tablet which seams to be a direct clone of the i3 version of of the W700 is the Acer NT.L0QAA.008. For 550 USD it beats the hell out of the Nexus 10, if you can afford it. The nexus 10 is a bit ancient, having only aa dual-core. The suggestion of the Memopad FHD seems good, read a few good reviews.

Srsly, Ubuntu Touch isn't that great. Ubuntu touch has no support for desktop apps, and their own store has almost no apps. It's just not finished. Android on Intel should be pretty good, and (as far as I know) has build-in ARM emulation, so you should be able to download all apps. If you want the full Ubuntu experience on your phone, use a chroot. You then get the "normal" desktop, with the "normal" apps. (Way more than you would find in the Ubuntu stores as of now). If you buy the K900, you can basically install all apps which not require hardware GPU acceleration. Most desktop apps work even on the Nexus 4. Also, why not the Nexus 5?

A terminal emulator, RDP Client, chroot installer (for convenience), ES File explorer(It can do ANYTHING: FTP Server/Client, root explorer, ), DriveDroid(You can mount .iso's from your SD-card as a virtual CD drive, SL4A(Scripting in various languages), DSploit(hacking on the go), Wifi analyzer, XPosed framework + GravityBox, Synapse, busybox, dropbear. You should also have a good Kernel + ROM for your device, if you haven't already.

Writing a game is never a good start to programming. Try to learn a language first, not with the intention of writing a game. Get a book about learning C or Java for example, and do some casual programming first. If you're good, you can start coding a game after 2 years+. Even then, if the game should be any good, you should probably get the assets(Sound, graphics, ...) done by someone else. Even if you're a really good programmer, a game is a __huge__ project, and as a beginner in coding, it's almost impossible. For an easy start, you should learn LUA. You can write mods for a lot of games, you can use it for almost everything. Also, there is the Love2D android port, which of course works on android(With LUA).

For what would you need that? Does it needs to be fast? Also, the term "riser" is wrong for this.

Renting a server is probably the best idea. Also, noip.com doesn't hides your IP, it provides a DNS entry for your IP. Proxy's or VPN's won't help you, since they won't allow port forwards, and are pretty slow, and add latency. I don't know how big your minecraft server should get, but DDoS's are pretty uncommon, since they require a lot of resources, so DDoS'ing a minecraft server would make no sense from a hackers perspective. If your minecraft server is not public, or has less than 30 active players, I wouldn't care at all. Also, since you have a normal, "consumer grade" connection, you usually can get a new IP from your Provider in seconds over DHCP.

Well, you never played ArmA on a really slow HDD...

ArmA is really HDD intense. From my experience with DayZ, and my little experience with ArmA2:OA, it's the HDD. With 8GB you can try to move some files on a RAMDisk. On my old setup, with an Athlon X2, and a GT630, I could play the DayZ mod quite good, after moving it on a RAMDisk.

Well, if you want to use the data from Lubuntu in Windows, you need to install ext4 drivers for windows, since Windows can't read Lubuntu's native Filesystem, ext4. Or you could have multiple partitions on your flash drive one NTFS for windows, and one for Lubuntu. Also, make sure you don't create a swap partition/file on your flash drive: It's slow, a waste of space, and not good for the drive.

Maybe. I don't know manjaro/Arch and specifically not the Installer, but he checked the option "Use this Device for Bootloader installation", and selected the SSD. I guess, this _should_ install grub(2?) on the SSD, from which the PC should start. You could try to use Legacy boot, which should load the Bootloader from the SSD, not the EFI. Of course, changing the EFI bootorder would also work... so yeah... ^^

Ok, your current setup is the following, right? Wall -> [WAN Port] RT-U66N [LAN/WLAN] -> [LAN/WLAN] Your PC -> No internet A working setup would be: Wall -> [WAN Port] Inteno DG150 [LAN Port] -> [WAN Port] RT-U66N [LAN/WLAN] -> [LAN/WLAN] Your PC -> Hopefully Internet Since the RT-U66N hasn't got a build-in ASDL2+ modem. It wouldn't fix your Internet issues, if their really dependent on the DG150(Which is unlikely) You could just buy a ADSL2 modem, and replace the DG150 with it, in the lower setup. You would need to have config of the old one though, to get it working. I would suggest, trying to find the Issue in the network first: One way would be to continuously ping your router, and a google server for reference. You could then watch, where the "Network" gets lost: If the router doesn't answers, the router is broken, and you would need a new one. Since you already got a router, you would need a new modem. If the google servers dosn't respond, there are 2 possibility's: The modem part in the router is broken, Can happen sometimes, you need a new ADSL2+ modem. Something ISP related is going wrong: Your side works, try calling their Technical Service or something. You cant really do anything against it. @C0V413NT: Dialup doesn't exists anymore! Also, if you google DG150, you will find out that it's a ADSL2+ modem...

OpenWRT says, br-lan: Uptime: 23d 18h 1m 2s MAC-Address: 00:0C:43:44:62:ED RX: 4.06 GB (53409467 Pkts.) TX: 174.65 GB (127606301 Pkts.) IPv4: 192.168.0.1/24 Morpheus's would cap wouldn't hold up for 2 days

Use your power wise. Maybe host a debian mirror, or a mirror of your favorite distro, or whatever. But please, PLEASE install some kind of monitoring. If one of the clients in your network gets "infected" with something, the hackers would have a pretty decent machine at their hands, which I wouldn't like! So, go & protect the web! (Another interesting thing would be to do some kind of network scanning, like nmap'ing the whole internet. Not sure if that's legal though... )

Ok, I've looked it up again, looks like the W810 still gots a crappy display. But is more cores = better performance, even if the cores have a lower linear clock speed? I'm not quite up with Atom SoC's. Any thoughts welcome!

Shouldn't the new launcher check the LWJGL version at startup and, if required, download the new one? Why would you don that anyway? If you got Problems with LWJGL, it's more likely that there are problems with your GFX drivers, or JRE.

Well, as far as I know, the "new" W3 (The 810 one, not the 800) has a IPS display now. You can't even get the old one anymore... I was playing with the Idea of an android Tablet, but I want to maybe replace my old Netbook with this, and I sometimes need x86. Also, you can't directly compare ARM and x86. An quadcore-ARM is way slower than an Pentium 4.(From what I've heared) Also, those things have USB-ports, and keyboard "docks". You could use them as a Netbook-replacement(It would be at least faster then my X101H, wich is great, just old. Also, I could use that as a minecraft/Teamspeak server then, without needing to kill the Servers when I fell like I need some kind of PC with me, as I do now). Also, I find android tablets kinda useless, since they're just oversized phones, without mobile data/phone functionality. I got a nexus 4 & I'm totally fine with it. It servers all my android needs! I also updated the thread. Thanks anyways guys!

I want to buy a tablet, and it should be an x86 one. I'm only 15, and so don't got that much money to spend. I wouldn't spend more than 300€ on it(415USD). These are my favorites so far: * DELL Venue 8 Pro(~250€, ~350USD) * Acer Iconia W3 810(~200€, ~275USD) They got similar function, the dell one got a quad-core with a better IGGFX than the Iconia, but a slower clock speed(1.33GHz instead of 1.8 GHz), instead of a dual-core. But is it worth the extra money? Someone can share their experience with one of those tablets, or maybe got a better suggestion? Here are the things, that I will do mainly: * SSH with X11 forwarding/RDP/VNC/TeamViewer to diffrent places * Maybe run a small VM using Virtual Box * Try to install some kind of Linux on it, properbly dual-boot, and a block-file on the windows-drive using Grub2 * Scripting in LUA, maybe (W)LAN debugging * Watching movies while I should sleep * Take notes in school, play minecraft in school Some of those things are Graphic-Demanding(RDP/Video watching) and maybe CPU-demanding(VBox). I would buy one of them anyway, but which? I tend to buy the Venue, but I'm not sure, if that's even necessary. Any tips welcome! Greets, max1220

I didn't knew that - thanks! But I guess, that if you follow Microsofts's APi so strictly, back then, there would be no 3D games, and all that "new technology". Also, compability always just reaches as far as the drivers. Ever tried to use an old Logitech webcam that worked just fine, with out any drivers in W7/up? It does not work. There are just no drivers. Some thing with WLAN-adapters. Although they are standardizing it, so they should work in the future... Well, yes. At least partially. Linux of course has more compatible hardware than windows, but not that often in the Desktop/Notebook segment. Yes, Linux had(an sometimes has) someproblems with power management on some devices. But those aren't that mutch, and, in most cases, are workarounds available! Currently all power management-related problems with Linux come from either the new ULP-Atom-SoC's or Alienware notebooks. I could be wrong though, and always been just on the lucky side. With DEsktop systems, you usually have problems only with AMD/ATI cards, and after some googling, and maybe compiling your Kernel yourself, you can fix those aswell. At least that worked for me. My HD7790 works great under Debian with both, the fglrx and FOSS-drivers. My old GT630 worked just fine with the Nvidia drivers. It might be true that the latest GPUs at their release work not that great, and that the linux drivers sometimes suck. But even me still plays games on Windows! Oh, and my EEEPC x101h has longer battery-lifetime with debian than with the Windows 7 starter, and I never had a single Hardware-related problem with this thing on Linux(To be fair, on windows aswell)! As far as I understood, you said, that Linux was not a good end-user system, because Linux would try to serve everyone, and since that the avg. end user would need to use tools from developers for developers(Or the people who contribute to Linux), wich weren't user-friendly. Bur I might misunderstood you, I'm not a native speaker(or writer ). Actually, I'm German, and 15, so I didn't even had all my English lessons yet, so I'm sorry, if I misunderstood you! In the last post, I even missed something: Linux is actually used more in the professional business. Look at Amazon(They even let you rent Servers. Running Linux...), Google(Including youtube), Facebook, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, ... All of the bigger Internet-based Company's. Linux is more scalable than windows, is more resource friendly, and supports professional File systems like ZFS. You also mentioned support. Well, there are big Company's like Novell, Redhat, LPI, etc. that make money with just offering support to their distros to other Company's(And the surroundings, like offering Domain registration to their customers etc.) Again, 'Im not a native speaker, and if I sound like I'm "attacking" you, I don't mean it like this - Of course I also respect your opinion, there are valid reasons for using Windows, but felt like I should correct you here and there, so everyone could learn from it!

Well ,you need something that runs 24/7 to make a 24/7 Server, and since computers need Power and Teamspeak needs bandwidth, it's unlikely to get a 24/7 server for free, since bandwidth and power costs money. An alternative would be installing OpenWRT on your router, and installing umurmur, a server for Mumble. Mumble is just like Teamspeak, gots low latency 'n stuff, but is free, and the Server can run on almost any router! More about umummur here: wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/umurmur and more about OpenWRT here: openwrt.org/ You also could ask for sponsoring/sharing, depending on for what you would use that Server for.

Get a nexus 5. It's great, cheap, and has a good build quality. The Find 7 should be good as well. When you need to decide between S4 and S5, I would go for the S4, since the S5 doesn't adds any important features, and will just cost more.

Well, I guess, that will take some time ^^ Here are few things you should learn: * Using Linux * Knowing the internals of the Linux Kernel, at least the basics. * Kernel Modules * More Linux * Some android-specific things, that I don't know * GIT(Most people forget about that; It's important!) * Root your phone, try some things with the shell. You get to know more about android this way! But the first thing you should do, when you try to port a custom ROM to your device, is check, if there's any familiar device out there, with the same SoC, and try to make it run on your Device. You may need some kind of serial connection for the phone, to debug the kernel & display drivers to get started. This is a really hard thing though and you, even if it's unlikely, may brick your device! If your device is slow, you may just want to uninstall all the TouchWiz junk! You can do that if you're rooted - You could also overclock your device, and do some other tweaks! Well, the Kernel sources from Samsung aren't complete - Things like the graphics module aren't open source afaik. Docker requires a working device tree, as far as I see(First time I see that software, so I could be wrong...) The S3 Mini kernel sources could be a good starting point for learning how porting works... But I'm not a ROM Developer/Porter. For somemore advanced advice check out XDA.

I'm sorry of the OT, but there are few things that are... not entirely correct(In my opinion!). First, lets specify linux a bit more: Linux is a Kernel. There is no specific userland(The "base" programs, libs, etc.) involved with Linux. What you(&me as well ) mean when we talk about Linux is more GNU/Linux. But that's still to unspecific: Various Linux distributions vary in their goals as well. And so their end-user experience; Take a look at RedHat(A Linux distro) for example: It's not targetet at the avg. user. It's targetet at Users, who know what they're doing. Any beginner couldn't use it at all. Now lets look at Ubuntu: It's easy to use. Some may even argue it's easier to use than Windows: You don't need to google some "wired numbers" to install your Graphics card drivers, you don't need to download software from strange sources. If you want to install an Office app, you open the Software center, and type Office in the search bar. You then click on install. That's it. Also, the GUI is more a personal preference. For example, I prefer my XFCE desktop over my windows one. It just works, looks great, performs great and is generally awesome, since __I__ configured it __myself__! I wouldn't change anything! Windows isn't even that flexible: As you said, every once in a while, M$ will release a new Windows, that will have higher demands, and so won't work on older hardware. Even on the Software side, Windows isn't all that Compatible. I still got some games that only work in a certain version of Windows... With the netbook/notebook thing: I don't see the point in building specific hardware for Linux anyway. Linux is flexible enough, you can install it on anything! Even on routers with 4MB Flash and 32MB RAM or less. So the people who wanted to use Linux already did - On the normal hardware. So why would they buy new hardware specific for Linux? Also: Nope. First off, I wouldn't see a problem there, if it would be that way. Linux systems are build modular. The core guys develop on the core stuff, the network guys on the network stuff, and finally the GUI guys on the GUI stuff. They wouldn't interfere, since you can replace a GUI with another, and the most "user-friendly" would win in the long term. Well, but it's not like that: If you develop on a project as a developer, you make your code changes, and send them to the project you're developing for. "They" decide, if that feature gets in the Project or not. An example "goal" for a GUI project could be "make a GUI, that everyone can use!" or "make a GUI that looks like Windows". If some developer contributes code, that doesn't fits those "requirements", it would't get migrated to the main code base. So they still try to please everyone - but the end user won't notice, since they just get "their" modules, for GUI etc that will "work" for them. Again, I'm sorry for this bit of OT, but I felt like I needed to correct you here and there, or other users may get a little "to afraid" of Linux, or at least get some(In my opinion) wrong impressions. I don't care if someone decides not to use Linux - But he should do so on a more educated opinion! I dont want to attack you either, just educate you!
