how do i install netgead wnda3100 wireless adapter to my computer which had a linux operating system?

Q. Hi i have a linux operating system running ubuntu 10.4 and i got a netgear wnda3100 wireless adapter so i can recieve wifi and the archive manager that runs with linux wont allow me to install the disk for netgear. THe archive manager also will not allow me to install anything else onto the computer.. PLEASE HELP!

A. You cannot install Windows software on Linux. The driver on the Netgear disk is for Windows. If your system does not auto-configure it, and it probably won't, you will need to find the driver online and install it. I couldn't find the driver when I searched. The links below might help you. Good luck.

What are the benefits of a Linux operating system?
Q. I've used Windows and and Mac operating systems, but never Linux. Are there any benefits to having a Linux operating system? Are there any disadvantages? Are they more likely to contract a virus?

A. A more informed user primary benefit.

Quicker more efficient system with less overhead and shit loads of free software. other beni

It won't make you a sandwich disadvantange.

Much less likely to get a virus, and if it does odds are it won't affect your machine but if you do get one you install Linux with a seperate home partition.

so when you have to format you just format your root partition.

Just for the record a Java/Flash/pdf buffer overflow attack can do just as much damage as a virus or more and is cross platform.

Typically these types of crap is put in pron and stuff people like to steal ie P2P over vuze or utorrent and stuff like that.


Most Linux users still Dual boot, just like allot of mac users boot camp.


Best place to start with Linux is to get Ubuntu and run the live Cd and see if you like it, you can also test your drivers running the live cd.

If you use Ubuntu you will probably need Ubuntu restricted extras from synaptic and a bunch of other stuff

You might run into problems with wireless drivers

What Linux operating system is best for a home audio and video recording system?
Q. Me and my friends are starting a band from scratch. We are building a computer from scratch and using a Linux Operating system to power it, but which distribution is the best for audio and video recording for a band?

A. Don't know about the "for a band" spec, but check out

64 Studio and

an Ubuntu clone that is for audio / video - it may be called mediabuntu or studiobuntu or something similar - do a google search on it
