I was trying to put Linux on my desktop computer, but it doesn't support the wireless USB dongle I use. This was last weekend. The same dongle works perfectly in Windows.

I was trying to put Linux on my work computer, but it doesn't support my three monitor, two video card display out of the box. This was about a month ago.

I love Linux, and it's fun to use on computers that have supported hardware (I love it on my ASUS netbook), but if you don't have supported hardware, it's still a nightmare.

The access code typically allows you to create an account, and may be necessary to submit the homework. You can't share the codes because each student needs to submit their own assignments.

The problem is with virtual memory. A process still uses 32bit memory addresses to reference memory. This means that a process can still only address 4GB of memory. If you were to use more than 32bit memory addresses to get more memory, suddenly you aren't a 32-bit OS anymore.

PAE only helps the OS be able to manage more than 4GB of memory.

PAE allows 32-Bit computers to use more than 4GB of ram, but it doesn't allow Windows to assign more than 3GB to any single process.

What about the random factor of some candidates having names that are easier to spell?

What's the point of the upgrade, or rather, what does it give me? I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 right now, and I've been installing the software and other updates as they come. What changes from one major version of Ubuntu to another? Obviously it's something more than just updated versions of all my software packages. What is it?
