Freeware is a term used for computer software that may be used legally without paying for it. Even this definition is extremely broad. The freeware I list on my site must not contain spyware or other types of malware and must not be a time limited demo.
Illegal use of commercial software is unnecessary because of the large amount of high quality freeware available. Sometimes freeware can be better than the commercial software it was made to replace. I figure that most people are unaware that most of these freeware programs even exist and so I am trying to promote them on my website. Think about it this way - if the FBI were to raid your house, how many years in prison would you get for having pirated software on your computer? Hopefully my site will allow you to reduce, if not completely eliminate, your prison term. :P
I have always had problems installing sound cards in Linux, whether it was on-board or a Sound Blaster. I have tried several SimplyMepis LiveCDs and they always seem to get some sort of sound out of my cards so I figured it was something in my configuration. I recently installed Debian on my main computer, and this time was typical with my Sound Blaster only halfway working. Attempt #1 - Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit |

My hard drive crashed and I was again left with the proposition of re-installing Windows. I have used Linux in the past and have dabbled with Debian in virtual machines. I read a great book about Debian called The Debian System written by Martin Krafft which convinced me that Debian was the right Linux distribution for me (where is Ubuntu’s Social Contract?). I highly recommend this book for anyone who is even slightly interested in Debian. |

Here are the directions for how to shutdown or restart in Xfce4 without a password. It will also enable the shutdown and restart buttons. Open a terminal use visudo and add the following:
This could need to be /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper on non-Debian based systems. |
