John Kill Bill asked:

Ok so I’m not sure if it’s actually called “extended desktop” but you know how in ubuntu you can move your mouse to the right and scroll over to another desktop? This is all on a single monitor. Is there anyway to do this in XP? It’s just so handy.
Thanks.

I have the Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD and I am very pleased with it. I have a couple of questions though.

1) I have gone to the Ubuntu Forums for help on changing the screen resolution. I did everything they told me and it didn’t work. I heard from someone that you have to install Ubuntu in order to change the screen resolution. Is this true?

2) Is it safe to install Ubuntu? Have you ever had any problems with Ubuntu?

Rich asked:

I am a power user with Windows, but now, in true geek style, I’m venturing towards Linux. So, I’ve installed the latest Ubuntu on my old laptop.

Now here’s the problem – I’m absolutely lost. How can I install TOR on Ubuntu? Could you walk me through it, from what to download up to the point where TOR is installed with the TOR button in Firefox? Thanks.

What do i do now?

I installed Ubuntu on my computer, but how do I get the drivers? I tried running my Drivers CD that came with my original OS (XP) but it wouldn’t run. It only shows the files and folders of the CD. I tried running some auto run programs, but they all give me an error.
