I think all distro's can do just that.
Can someone help me install my Windows live webcam on Ubuntu 10.10?

Should be recognized right away.. What webcam software are you going to use with the webcam?
[QUOTE=Ayra;26254138]Should be recognized right away.. What webcam software are you going to use with the webcam?[/QUOTE]
Something free. I just am using it for tinychat.
TinyChat uses flash for webcam, so you'll have to configure it with flash.
Okay, how do I go across doing that.

Go [URL="http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html"]here[/URL]. Right click the flash element->Settings->Webcam and select your webcam (if any)
Alright. Thank you!

Mint comes preinstalled with codecs and shit, and personally I like it better

Says the man who failed to demonstrate any knowledge of unix.
Linux Mint if you want to take the easy way. That's the most user friendly distro I know.
How do I install openVPN on openVZ with CentOS 5.5?
I want to use the community version
The terminal stuff is confusing and hard to remember at first - do you really remember all the weird commands, or do you guys use some handy print-out sheets taped near your screen?
Is bash scripting knowledge REQUIRED to run a VPS? It seems without those handy scripts tasks would be a pain in the ass (When i feel like i know enough about linux, i'll buy a small VPS and try to set up my own homepage, but dunno).
Should i start with Arch linux, to get familiar with the terminal more? Ubuntu just seems too much point-and-click, like windows, where you don't really learn anything about the inner workings.
As you can see, i'm interested in linux ALOT, and the amount of info is just overwhelming (Google gave me tons of (apparently) good tutorials, how-to's, and FAQ's, i don't know where to start...)

Arch shouldn't be a problem with the superb beginner's guide, even if you're a bit unfamiliar with the command line.

Arch Linux, then move on to Gentoo. You'll get to learn A LOT. And both have beginner guides and/or a handbook.

I remember a few commands that I use all the time, and I remember just the name for a lot of others.
A lot of times I remember the name of the command that does what I want, but I don't remember how to use it, so I read the man page.
Bash [b]scripting[/b] isn't required knowledge for a VPS. When I think of scripting, I think of programs written in Bash with if statements and loops and all that, which I really don't know that well. What you should know is how to do just one thing at a time; like a simple copy or move, and changing directories and stuff like that. I wouldn't worry about writing a script that does a ton of stuff at once.
Woah, looks like the linux guys are alot more mature than the windows guys, haha - guess i'll torture google a bit and try to set up an arch install, just for the learning effect, thanks!
as I mentioned I got arch working on a laptop, but I am finding it really quite difficult to get any kind of wireless working. I have the proper drivers, as far as I can tell. I must be doing something wrong with manually connecting, because that doesn't work. couldn't make network manager work properly either.
I'm really rather new to this, and quite lost. I've got a whole new perspective on exactly how much it is that ubuntu does for you. still dont want to go back to it, this experience has been far too interesting.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;26255533]music as in listening to music or music as in producing music?[/QUOTE]
Listening music.
Hey guys, quick question:
I changed my Apache port in httpd.conf using Listen. I restarted apache2 and it's still listening to port 80
Help please?
EDIT: Hurr nevermind, found ports.conf
[QUOTE=RELAXiN;26281207]Listening music.[/QUOTE]
then I'm going to go with mint
I changed the port in httpd.conf, ports.conf, and sites-available/000-default; did a reboot of the whole system, and it's still not working properly. :/
Help again? ;-;
EDIT: When restarting apache2, I get the following error:
[code]infserverdebian:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Restarting web server: apache2[Thu Nov 25 01:40:57 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:38999 has no VirtualHosts
[Thu Nov 25 01:40:57 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:38999 has no VirtualHosts
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:38999
.[/code]
I thought editing /sites-available/000-default and changing all instances of *:80 to *:38999 would fix this, but it has not and apache2 still listens to port 80.
EDIT2: actually nevermind that, apache doesn't seem to work at all now. Changing them all back to 80 works, however...
That error means port 38999 is already in use.
Just for curiosity's sake, did you read the error at all?
[QUOTE=nikomo;26287426]That error means port 38999 is already in use.

Yes, I did. I figured 38999 is in use, but nothing is using it (at least nothing I started is.)
Maybe Apache sees itself using that port? :/
How can I tell which programs/services are using a certain port?
