Fell like helping me out? first time ever being on linux.... luckily i have a pci plug n play nic card.... I need to find out how to install excrement.... I keeps saying.. file could not be opened

What are you trying to install?

[y00tz]

Nvidia drivers.

[Zorchenhimer]

Those come under the "restricted drivers" category don't they? You have to manually enable those. System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager.

Sudo apt-get install aptitude


*wait*


aptitude

That isn't for drivers though. Did the stuff I told you last night work?

Linux?!?!
RUN! RUN! BEFORE YOUR COMPUTER EXPLODES!!!!

[Eiii]

Cobo's on some kind of holy crusade against Linux and Vista.

WHICH MAKES HIM JUST AS BAD AS (extreme) ADVOCATES OF BOTH.

First you need Windows XP, then just download and run this: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/paintball2/paintball2_build019_full.exe?download

The linux version simply doesn't work correctly for most people.
