Hi people,

We are at a fix here. our studio is expecting a new work in a couple of days

and our windows systems are repeatedly infected by virus.

No amount of AV paste over an os with holes that will put a sieve to shame is going to help.

The sooner you switch the lesser will be the pain. And switch you will have to - that is a guarantee - unless you accept the abysymal performance provided by M$ os.

and our copy of SUSE has become corrupt. If anyone has a copy of SUSE linux 10.1 with all the repositories and codecs etc. can they give us a copy ? would be very grateful.

You are better off with Debian (Ubuntu, Kubuntu), or RH

because we are novice with linux, we won't be able to get all the repos from the net

Simply download the dvds.

wget -c http://www.xx.yy.zz/abcd.iso burn to dvd.

and we don't even know how to do that properly. next, if someone can guide us, as to where we can get a copy of Maya for Linux. same problem. our copy is not getting installed.

Verify the disk first. If it's corrupt you can get a new copy from Autodesk. If not getting a new cd wont help.

We would be greatly obliged if someone can come over as our guest and have a look, at ou place and the system.

Where are you located?

looking for all your replies.
