Yo Martin i solved the .exe, .txt prob. They were created in folders that were shared by Dc++. I created two other folders and moved all the contents to it. And deleted the original ones. Not much of a solution but it worked anyways

Told you it was a filesharing app doing it

Can anybody tell me how i can access folders shred on the LAN from my Koala?? In Windows i usually open Run and then \\ip

Let's take this from the top.

Where are the files you wanna access? On a Windows box or a Linux box?
If the former, I gave you a link with instructions, the first link.

has anyone used linux mint?

 

[JCK]

It's a more polished Ubuntu. I used it and still use it on one of my machines.

 

[icemaη]

Planning to wipe Ubuntu off and install Mint. Will I regret it later?

 

[JCK]

No you will not. The more distros you try the more you learn.

While you're at it, give PCLinuxOS a try too.

i liked Mint,the whole thing was highly polished but for some bizzare reason the screen resulution fucked up,went HUGE and i no amount of buggering about could fix it,i had to regress back to Ubuntu

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

And Sabayon.

Does the latest one run fine on laptops? I remember installing it on my old PC, and it was slow as hell during bootup.

 

[icemaη]
