Anyone able to give simple 'how to install' instructions for linux ?

I have a G5 1.8 with 3GB RAM; 80/160 internal SATA drives (the 160gb hd has 2 partitions and one with nothing on it) as well as a Lacie external 320 GB firewire drive. The empty partition on the 160gb drive has been created for Linux (if it ever gets installed).
I need to know where I can get a copy (I dont have a preference for any type yet-whatever works for a computer that is just used by me- as I just want to get started); How specifically to install it (I dont know anything about linux except I have heard about it's ease of use and how anyone can install it-except me it seems-I literally don't have a clue how to do it). Please leave out the geek speak (lol or at least just make it understandable for a someone who's pretty much a 'non-geek').
Thanks so much everyone. This has been a 3 month long odyssey for me with everyone I do ask giving me wildly different answers. As I say I have no idea how to do this and just want to get started.
Anyone , please ?

Hi-
There are a few choices for Linux, but there are some peculiarities when it comes to PPC Macs.
I'll give you this article on Ubuntu Linux which has some general discussion.
Anyhow, Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) may be a good version. Check Here.
For Ubuntu, download the software and burn to CD.
Insert the CD into the computer, and, after opening, there should be a screen asking you whether or not you want to run the Live CD. Select Live CD. After loading, the default Ubuntu desktop will show. Once you get to the desktop,select the icon for the full installation of Ubuntu.
Note that you need to install Ubuntu on the primary system disk.
Might have a look at Debian. Complete instructions for installation are Here.

How to install oracle for Linux ?

Hello,
i have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 for Linux and my host OS is Ubuntu. After unzipping the downloaded file i got
1. response folder,
2.upgrade folder and
3.oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm file.
My host OS Ubuntu is 64 bit, and i have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 64 bit for Linux.
But i am unable to use that database. Please help how to use that !

Hello;
Your download does not appear to be correct, I would expect a much different result from unzipping.
I would check this out and follow it to the letter if I were doing it :

PavanG is probably correct, in that case you should look at this :

Hi Keith, sorry for my late reply.
Surely I am able to connect to the help function when Icontact the website
of AdobeLR5.The problem is as follows,
When I open LR5 on my computer and work with it and try to open the help
function in the software, I don't get it.
When I bought the CD I was naiv enough to believe that I get an independent
working software. I learned in the meantime, that the seller does not allow
to work with, without being connected to them.
I don't believe that I am paranoid, but I like to buy something and use it
without to inform the supplier that I do it. Otherwise I could have bought
the license fpr LR5 via internet.
Best regards
Karl

Anyone having the letter n pop up in Address Book Notes? Anyone able to tell me how to keep this from happening?

Anyone having the letter n pop up in Address Book Notes? Anyone able to tell me how to keep this from happening?

You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

Does anyone know how to install qmail on linux platform

Does anyone know how to install qmail on linux platform and the site name where we can download the rpm of qmail.

Yeah i know that this is java forum but i'm doing a
project on j2ee which needs qmail to be installed.And
i thought that even java people who are working on
qmail may know that.Yes, but you should still post that question in another forum. I bet that most software developers knows how to boil eggs, but should I ask about that here?

I installed window7 on mac but not able to connect internet. how to install drivers

i installed window7 on mac but not able to connect internet. how to install drivers if it needs to be.

if you downloaded driver updates through bootcamp onto flash drive then once windows is installed, open the flash drive in windows. You'll see an application called Setup. Double click on it and it will install all the drivers for wireless and ethernet and usb.
You cant just tell windows to search for driver updates. These EXPERTS aren't telling you this.

How to install Workshop for WebLogic and WebLogic Portal?

Hi All,
I am new to Weblogic Portal. I would like to start learning Oracle Weblogic Portals..
Can anyone please guide me, how to install Workshop for WebLogic and WebLogic Portal?
As per the ""Tutorials – Getting Started with WebLogic Portal"" (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/tutorials/setup_dev_env.html)
we need to install the Workshop for WebLogic and WebLogic Portal.
Please suggest me where should i get the required environments/IDE?
Thanks,
Harish.

Hi Harish
1. If this is your first time with Weblogic Portal, I would recommend to download the latest Weblogic Portal Software Rel 10.3.2 from this bottom link. Check Accept Radio button, for windows download windows installer. Its about 1 GB file. This software includes Eclipse IDE, Weblogic Server and Weblogic Portal.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/wlp/index.html
2. During the installation process, make sure at one point you select Custom mode (NOT default Typical mode). In next following screens you will see all bundles checked EXCEPT for Samples. So make sure you check Samples Check box both under Weblogic Server and Weblogic Portal. Then proceed. This will install full Weblogic Workshop (Eclipse IDE), Weblogic Server and Weblogic Portal. This is the good installation package. Also it will install samples for Portal and Server. If you select all default typical mode, it will NOT install samples. You can install samples later on also, but its good at installation time itself you select custom and check Samples also.
3. WLP 10.3.2 uses Eclipse IDE. If you are familiar with Eclipse IDE this should be helpful. Otherwise also, its ok.
4. For learning WLP, in Eclipse IDE, you need to create Portal EAR Project, then Portal Web Project. Inside portal web project create simple jsp hello world portlets and a simple portal.
5. For Deploying and Testing Portal application you need to create Portal Domain using config wizard. You can see this from Start -> Programs -> Oracle Weblogic Portal shortcut -> Weblogic Server -> Tools -> Configuration Wizard.
6. You can start Workshop IDE from Start -> Program Files -> Oracle Weblogic Portal ...-> Eclipse For Weblogic 10.3.2
Here are the links for quick start guide for portal development. Please do refer them.

You will have to reinstall OS X. In the future ignore such things. Don't click on any links or dial any phone numbers. They are all phishing scams.
Deleting Safari was not a solution.

How to install IGS for the ABAP trial version SP11

Hi,
Please can anyone provide me with the steps to install IGS for the ABAP trial version SP11.
Which version of IGS to download?
What are extracting the SAR files what steps should be followed?
Please advice,
Thanks,
sam

Hi Rich and Sam,
here is some kind of how to guide which hopefully contains all steps you need do perform.
Best regards
Matthias
The IGS consists of a directory structure under DIR_INSTANCE/igs (containing folders and configuration files) and executables and libraires under DIR_EXECUTABLE. These excutables and libraries are available on the Service Marketplace in archive igsexe.sar. This file has to be extracted to DIR_EXECUTABLE.
On the Service Marketplace you also find the file igshelper.sar which contains the above mentioned folder structure that must be extracted to DIR_INSTANCE. Normally this comes with a Web AS installation.
Afterwards please go to DIR_INSTANCE/igs/conf and rename the files gfwchart.tpl, xmlchart.tpl and bwgis.tpl to gfwchart, xmlchart and bwgis, see notes 531668, 596825 and 1011372.
To include the IGS to the start of the system you have to add the following to the start profile:
Start internet graphics server
IG = $(DIREXECUTABLE)\igswd$(FT_EXE)
Start_Program_03 = local $(_IG) -mode=profile pf=$(_PF)
Normally parameter _PF is defined as absolute path to the instance profile. If not use the absolute path instead.
To enable HTTP administration you have to add the instance profile parameter:
igs/listener/http= 4$(SAPSYSTEM)80,administration
HTTP administration access was disabled by default with patch 4, see note 959358.
If your system is a Java only system you must deactivate the RFC listener with the instance profile entry:
igs/listener/rfc=disable
For using the IGS with Web Dynpro Java you must define the IgsUrl according to note 704604. After a system restart the IGS should be up and running.
You can test if the IGS is up and running with the link http://localhost:4$(SAPSYSTEM)80 or in an ABAP system via report GRAPHICS_IGS_ADMIN.

You may have to log in as the Administrator user rather than
"run as adminstrator".
Beyond that, are there really enough users on a system that
they can't install the extension(s) they need themselves?

Thank you AndrewThompson64
You have done a great job.You are welcome.. but really, the only
'great' thing I did was a quick search on
'Java install linux'
to show that link (that I knew was around
here somewhere) at the top of the
search reasults!
Thanks for your interest to help me.You are welcome. :-)
Next time you get stuck, 'drop back by'* and
I'll show you some more clever search tips. ;-)
* ..but really, you will gain a lot if you simply
'lurk' around the forum and read other posts,
even as you are writing code..
