7 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 decade agoi have a question for all you ubuntu operating system users out there?
I was just wondeing since i am a first time user and asking someone's opinion is some times better than trying to find out yourself. I was wondering, i have a acer aspire one netbook, and looking into upgradeing for free with ubuntu or other linux operating system like debian or red hat. I was curious as can you download linux onto a netbook, or is it just too big for it to handle. also when it says install it alongside your current operating system, does that mean that you can switch back and forth between your factory installed oper. system, or does it mean something else. also can you pritty much install any games that require windows as their operating system, as well as hardware like an external dvd burner, or other stuff like printers or cameras, etc. and also would i be able to play MP3's on ubuntu, or other linux, and any other system. I am leaning sort of towords ubuntu since i have a disc already but if there is any other linux out there that is better than ubuntu let me know. thanx,
4 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoI am thinking about building a sailboat, have a few questions?
i am thinking about building a sailboat out of wood, I have years of woodworking experence, not sure where to start in building a sailboat. first what kind of materal does the sail itself have to be, does it need a foyl on the bottom, (I know I butchered that word) what is best used for sealing the boat for leaks is it wise to have a backup engine, and if you have a backup engine, do you need to license your boat or do you have to do that anyway. you may think a person like me building a boat might not work very well, like you expert boat builders out there might even think that it will sink on me, well here is to you, it's worth a try, can't learn anything if you don't try. oh and also, when i do build this boat, can it be used on both salt and fresh water bodies, like I live close to lake michigan which is fresh water would i be able to use it on the ocean, or not. thank you

2 AnswersDo It Yourself (DIY)1 decade agoI want to restore an old house, should i keep original or is it wise to change it slightly?
I have this house on my property, a second house off from the one that I live in, it has whitewash walls, a sunroom, a big enough attic that you could make it into a secondary room, or two, and has no plumbing in the house what so ever. now I would like to put in ceiling tiles that you would find in school classrooms, and would like to rewire it, since the wireing in it now is very unsafe. any tips on how to restore a house like this, and also, would it be wise to keep it original, or could i do the changes on it that I was talking about.
thanks jak
