How-To: Compile Programs From Source in Linux

Posted 03/30/2009 at 06:47:28pm

The only thing that I would ever want to write a program for is DVD playing.  I'm a nube at Linux.  When I found out that I could not run a DVD on ubuntu linux, I started using microsoft much more.  I even tried using a DVD player designed for windows in wine, and I had no luck.  Puppy Linux was a good dog, and it played DVD's.  However, it always seemed to have a poor digital quality to it as though I were watching an abridged video file. 

 

And my old video card would not work with ubuntu linux at all.  Needless to say that was a problem that I couldn't fix from inside the OS.

As soon as the gaming industry develops games that look as good as the movie Wall-e does even on DVD, they will certainly need larger media capacity.  BD just seems like the most natural choice for the games of the future.

Ignoring the fact that anyone with $10,000 to spare could run several servers in parallel...

How much faster is one of these than a 7200 RPM hdd with 32 MB cache running on "SATA II"?
