Which major computer retail company sells laptops with Linux instead of Windows?
I’m a computer science major at university and paying for school myself, and I need to pick up a laptop to do a lot of my work on campus (computer labs don’t have compilers *grumbles*). I’m trying to pick up a cheap laptop with Linux installed on it instead of Windows so that it’ll be cheap and since Linux already has a lot of different compilers installed/apt-getable. Are there any major companies like IBM or HP that sell laptops with Linux (Hell, even the Ubuntu distro)? I think Dell does, but Read more [...]

Should i major in Computer Science or Computer Engineering?
I am still unsure of what I want to study. I understand that Computer Science is about programming but I don’t think that’s what I like doing. I like fixing computers: virus, hardware problems, OS installations and the sort. I have even managed a Windows Server 2003 for an entire week for a High School Business simulation week. I figure I would like to be a Network Administrator because they do all the stuff I like doing but I am unsure what my Major should be?

How hard is it to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows?
I have run Windows most of my life, and am currently using a desktop with XP. However, I used to have a laptop that ran Ubuntu (9.04 Jaunty Jackalope), after a friend deleted XP off it for me. I loved running Ubuntu, but only ran it for about two months before I had to lose the laptop. Anyway, I’m thinking of getting a netbook or a refurbished laptop in the next two or three months, and I want to put Ubuntu (10.04 Lucid Lynx) on it and use that mostly, but keep Windows (probably Vista or 7) as Read more [...]
Where’s the best place to start learning programming?
I just graduated high school and I am hoping to pursue a degree in Computer Science. I have always loved computers since Windows 3.1 Now I want to get some background in on programming because it seems like it would be a lot of fun for me. I’m taking a year off before college so I want to learn as much as I can before I start. Hopefully I’ll be able to take some AP exams and just get credit for the course without having to take it. Now I have some background in C . Mostly from some of the Read more [...]
Good PC for Computer Science Major?
I’m going to college for a bachelors in computer science, but the problem is my current computer is a Mac!

I want something that’ll be able to handle the crazy programs I might wind up making on it and last a good while. Thanks! A few notes: 1. I have used PCs extensively before, so don’t worry about the device being Read more [...]

I bought Windows Office 2007 and installed it on my computer for school. I have to buy a new computer, my old one is falling apart. I don’t want to have to buy Windows Office 2007 again and I need it to do my online college course, Computer Science. I still have the CD’s.
