Can linux run windows games and have a start bar to look like windows?

Q. i would like to be able to use the start bar and fallout 3 in linux. can i do that?

A. You do need to stop thinking the windows way, All Linux have start bars with fold out menus click on a menu, click on an application, run the program

you can do anything you want with Linux, you can run windows programs in Linux but it is like everything else you have to learn how to do things, most people cant find the time or don't want to learn new things, They are mentally trained to use and think windows way,

The thing is when Microsoft brought out Vista people rushed out and bought it, then didn't like it because it was different from XP nothing was the same so it was a case of I want xp back on my system

if you are willing to learn then all the help you need is available to you, through the Linux forums Not on Yahoo Answers. though some can answer your question, but you might not get the right answer though

If you like action games then Linux as them as well most windows games have been converted to Linux and there is free online games as well. You can check out Sabayon 4 this has shoot em up 3D games you can run from the live DVD which I recommend you download and try out run it from the live DVD play the games I think you will like it

Link to dowmload it is below

How do I save my preferences in Ubuntu Linux?
Q. I am brand new to Linux; I have it booting from my external USB hard drive. I see places to change settings (theme, time, etc.) but there isn't really an equivalent of the "Apply" button, and when I close the windows, the changes aren't saved...

What am I doing wrong?
I have tried pressing Enter, double clicking, all the things that usually indicate a selection.

A. This tutorial on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex shows a close button at the bottom of the screen saver preferences window and i think it's the same as the appearance preferences window.

Changes made here are applied immediately after selecting the changes not with an apply button.

So in that tutorial the screen saver is actually changed when a new one is selected, not after a button turns it on.

Hope this helps.

Does Cisco and Linux use the same type of password hashing?
Q. I know cisco has a version 7 and a version 5; but Linux has md 5, is that the same thing as Cisco's version 5?
Thanks for the insight.

A. Linux (And just about everyone else) uses MD5 or SHA-1 for hashing. I am no Cisco expert, but I would imagine they would use MD5 or some variation of SHA as well, as these are the most ubiquitous of hashes on the modern Internet.

I could be wrong though, I haven't trained for my CCNA yet, I'm just going by what I learned so far.
