Q. So I just installed Linux and erased windows vista and all my files with it. Now I'm at my linux desktop and can't connect to my wifi network. When I go to the networks icon over the wireless option it cant be selected and says "device not ready (firmware missing). I've looked through the software center for drivers but I can't install them because the only button says "use this source" and when clicked does nothing.
So if someone could help me get on the Internet on it.

A. Missing firmware is typical of broadcom 43XX chipsets, but there are ways to get it.

How do I only allow a web browser to come up when booting my linux computer? No taskbar, just browser?
Q. I would like to put together a linux desktop for my grandparents - and figure if I can have the system boot only to a web browser like mozilla it would make it a lot more friendly for them since they wouldn't have a bunch of other things on the screen. That way they can get to their email and check their stocks. Is there a simple way to do this with KDE or Gnome? Thanks!!
A. You want to set your default startup runlevel to, instead of starting up a login process, start up a shell as a particular user (your grandparents' userid). Their shell initialization script should start up X, and then respawn or shutdown when X exits. Their initialization script for X can then start up selected processes (such as web browser), and you can configure their desktop so that the display is bare bones, with no taskbars visible.

How to save up for a MacBook Air?
Q. I have an iPad 3 (I love it very much) and I have an old Linux desktop I repaired last year. I need a MacBook Air as a primary computer because god only knows if on my Linux Desktop will crap out. Plus Macs are excellent for computer programming (what I want to do). I am 13 if that helps, so I can't get a job. Any suggestions on how to make money and save up?
A. Ethan You want ideas on how to save money to buy a Mac, you have stated that Macs are excellent for computer programming. Let me say they are no more excellent than your old Linux computer. The true facts are you can learn computer programming with your old Linux system at no cost to you, also you can do more with Linux than can be done with Mac iOS, if you took the time to find out what is and can be done with Linux OS that can't be done with iOS
You are free to do what you want, when you want, how you want with free open source Linux, Your not free to do the same things with iOS. With Linux everything comes free, all the programming software, Free programming books/magazines/videos, free online tutorials, Why do you think Linux Android has taken the world by storm and left Apple iPhone iPad in the slow lane, Yes Google Android is Linux. Why do you think 492 of the world top 500 fastest computers run on Linux and none of them run Mac iOS,
Think about this, why can't Mac OS or Windows run from a live cd/dvd, usb ssd card or jump drive
Why do you think you can run Linux on your old computer yet you can't run Mac iOS on it, Do you know 4 yr old mac computers can't run the latest Mac iOS Check out another Linux hit with the $35 Raspberry PI computer that has sold over a million unit in less than 9 months of it's release that can do a thousand things more the the Mac computer. Were 6yr children in Europe are learning to build $10 robots and programming them with the Raspberry Pi computer,
Education and knowledge are wonderful thing. If you need to learn more you can send me a message I will tell you how to make money by promoting Free open source Linux operating systems
