    Hi,
    not sure if this is the right thread, our TV picture has gone a greeny/grey colour. I think it is because my little angel left a toy with a magnet in it nearby. Does anyone know how to resolve this as it looks awful? I think it needs demagnetising but don't know how to do this.
    Thanks

    why not just have a usb flash drive set for fat or fat32 and then they should both be able to read it just by swapping it to each one's usb port. Thats what I do with my seperate computers, one puppy linux and one XP.

    I want to be able to access files that are around 800mb in size
    and also want to share printer.

    Well, I'm giving up for today as my head is pounding.

    If anyone has anymore suggestions then please don't hesitate.

    Thanks

    I have two PC's, main one running XP and second running a Linux distro. I have a wireless router and want to share
    files between the two, what's the best way of doing this?
    In xp you need to have file and printer sharing, when you click on my network, you'll have a folder held by a hand icon called SharedDocs. In earOS you need to have shared folder active.
    I know its a media centre but there are better ones out there, mint, (another ubuntu derivitive) will perform just as well. and you can install all the eye candy as well.
