Could someone recommend a chess program for linux which is playable for a beginner? I'm not looking for something which can beat a grand master but something that has difficulties which go down to a beginner level. Even better if it makes human like mistakes. Hopefully someone's looked into this and knows about it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI haven't switched yet to any of the linux distro. Can anyone recommend what type of distro is suitable for beginners like me? I don't mind using the command prompt and willing to learn. So I am kinda looking for a "stable" distro. I have quite an old laptop here:
MSI EX401
Intel Pentium Dual Core T3400 @2.16Ghz
2 GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430
Atheros AR928X Wireless Adapter

I googled e and xboard slackware and only got links to the mirrors in the first couple of pages, I skimmed through the man pages, but I couldn't figure out how to get either of them working. All I could do is start a game in eboard using play vs the computer - play vs generic program, but then the computer doesn't move. How should I invoke the game to get it working?

All I want is a simple way so my frien and I can play chess over the net. So I looked at php scripts. Nothing suitable, that I could find. I'd like a nice web interface. My thought figure out how to "talk" to gnuchess or whatever an write some php to talk to it. Xboard, html style. (Is there one?) Or run my own private chess server.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to specifically run certain programs right in ram when they load up? On average I usually have 2Gig ram free (out of 4gig total). For example, hulu desktop, usage hog, I thought that forcing it to load into ram whenever hulu desktop is started may improve performance of the app. So, is there a program in ubuntu that can specifically control what programs can load directly load into ram when started?

I recently got a server up, and there's Debian on it. Text-based debian, no GUI. And i quitte like it, but i have one problem. In windows i can start program a, minimalize it and then start program b. But lets say i create a program with an infitite loop that only prints hello world on my debian server, I can't do anything else while its running, i have to press ctrl+c to be able to do something else. So my question is: is there a way to "minimalize" my self-written program to do something else, while its running, and to switch back later?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo I just installed a LiveCD version of Fedora on a USB stick. I also did a persistent disk so I can install a few items.
My main goal is to use this to remote into my home computer. I *think* I installed rdesktop, but I don't know how to access it or where it was installed. Here's what I did to install it:
su -c 'yum install rdesktop'
The installer downloaded a package and reported that the install completed.

I'm brand-spanking new to Ubuntu and so far am greatly enjoying this magnificent OS. Though, after attempting to install Wine, I now this error when trying to install any program: 'E:Type 'main' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-lucid.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'
Here is the source list where I'm assuming the error is coming from:

I started using Ubuntu a few days ago due to a classmates recommendation, and I simply cannot get this program I need for class to install. Or if it does, I don't know how to make it work.
I've got to install VMWare Server 2.0 for my class so we can make virtual computers and what not. But, no matter what I do I can't get it to install. Whenever I try to install it like I was told on various websites (here's one for examples sake [URL], I do this: sudo ./vmware-install.pl and get this: Can't install perl script "./vmware-install.pl" : No such file or directory
I've tried putting in stuff like home/computername/Desktop/vmware-install.pl, but I still get the same problem. I've racked my brain and my browser trying to figure this out, but I've had no luck.

E:_cache->open()failed,please report. When I try to run this in the terminal I get a message saying I need to be a superuser.
