What is the best replace of Visio in Linux
There are some replacements for Visio such as Kivio and OpeofficeDraw. I tried them, but I picked Dia. Firstly, it got most of the whole set of Visio objects. Moreover, the interface is the simplest one. Those are the reasons I like it.
The steps to install OpenOffice 3.0 in Ununtu 8.04
At the website of OpenOffice, that is only providing RPM. Ununtu doesn't support that, and dapper has not version 3.0 yet. So it needs to do manually.
1. Go to http://download.openoffice.org/other.html
2. Download Linux DEB.
3. Untar the package.
4. Go to ./DEB
Code
sudo dpkg -i *.deb |
5. Go to ./DEB/desktop-integration
Code
sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org3.0-debian-menus_3.0-9354_all.deb |
This is to create the shortcuts in our menu group.
Note that: if you have installed the previous version of OpenOffice, please remove that. Unless dpkg will generate an error message to tell you the packages have the conflicts.

Deleted items in Mapped Network Drive will not go to Recycle bin
I am helping my uncle to improve his computers. He told Deleted items in Mapped Network Drive will not go to Recycle bin. If he deleted an item in a mapped network drive, he will not able to recover that in his Recycle bin. Today, this is the frist times, I realized that is a problem. I believe network drive is not for the user to do the daily operations, that is for backup and sharing the documents. You should not move those files around, so that is rare to delete the file.

Black Screen
My uncle's computer got some problems a few days ago. After the prower is on, there is only a black screen. He asked me why.
There are some possible cause:
- Hard disk/CD Rom failure, causing a kind of dead lock of the checking process
- Motherbroad burned down.
- RAM problem
- BIOS problems, maybe there are some kind virus
Finally, the tech guy found that is a RAM problem. After he changed a new set of RAM, all good.
