If you don't know what Frets on Fire is check out my linux games thread.
Installing this game is pretty simple. If you go to there website (dont) you will need to download and install other packages... If you use the terminal it downloads all of them.
Load up your terminal (console) and type
"sudo apt-get install frets on fire"
then put in your password then just do the onscreen instructions.
And thats frets on fire installed ;-)

A Netbook is just a smaller Notebook, they run either Windows or Linux. They can do almost anything that a notebook can (given enough time) so why are people dead set against them? Most computer users surf the web, collect there emails, watch videos online (From
Youtube ) if that is all you do on a computer then why cash out for a £400 Notebook? Get a Netbook! Netbooks can't really handle playing games or doing anything that is to strenuous but they are perfe…

To qualify for this list the games *MUST* be FREE!

Apple removed an old item from its support site late Tuesday that urged Mac customers to use multiple antivirus utilities and now says the mac is safe "out of the box".
"We have removed the KnowledgeBase article because it was old and inaccurate." Apple spokesperson Bill Evans said.
"The Mac is designed with built-in technologies that provide protection against malicious software and security threats right out of the box." he said. "However, since no system can be 100 percent immune from every…

According to Apple Support, the new Apple Keyboard (Wired or Wireless) will not work on a Windows or Linux enabled PC. Only on OSX 10+.

I have just figured out how to install my World Of Warcraft (Thats the Normal game, Burning Crusade and Wrath Of The Lich King) on my Ubuntu computer.
This is what I done.
As I have 4 accounts I recently bought the DvD's so this will only work for the DvD's.
I will post a non DvD version later.
First of all you need to check to see if you have direct rendering. This will help you to play WoW.
To check this type this in a console window, without the quotes.
"glxinfo | grep rendering"
if you…

I got to say I am impressed! The first thing I realized was its speed! I compared it to Firefox on my main machine (Ubuntu) and I tried loading
Geeks,
Google and
Live.Pirillo and Safari was at least 2x faster.
It seems to have all of the necessary…

Jamledgend is a free and easy to use clone of Guitar Hero and Rock band.
There are three different difficulties on Jamledgend, easy ,medium, and hard. You play a guitar (although there are options for a Piano drums and base. I have not come across a song that uses them).
There are two different styes to playing the game, Jam style, where you hold the keyboard upside down and in the air and you use F1-F5 as notes, strumming along with the Enter key.…
