Some quick advice for windows users

Friday 26 Apr 2013, by sporto

So....

If you have been trouble shooting an issue for a while and looking for something to try...

Go to search/run from the windows key.

msconfig is used to edit the startup applications not listed in startup. Most everything would be OK to disable, but it probably not a good idea to disable 3rd party drivers :p 

do not use msconfig for the services, instead use....

services.msc is to control the services, disable norton from here :p

 

also, google 'hijackfree'. It will listed everything on the PC, i find it usefull.

 

 

steamCMD on Ubuntu

Monday 11 Feb 2013, by musawshe

Installing and configuring Linux dedicated servers for steamCMD on Ubuntu x64

at the time of this writing, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64

burn an image from ubuntu.com to a CD or DVD and boot to it

Select install and it will ask you simple questions like time zone (location) & keyboard layout.

The part people get confused on is preparing the disk, most people would chose “erase and use entire disk” but lets go through “specify partitions manually”.

In partitioning, you will need 2 partitions: swap & ext4 file system.
