{play 8:25}Viewer Questions.
Viewer Comment: When I'd previously asked about my people counting system, I forgot to mention that this is actually being done by a physical hardware device.
Viewer Question: I tried Zorin OS 6.0, Ubuntu 12.04 and Linux Mint 13 and all I get is a white screen with a flashing cursor. However, Debian installed okay. Since the distros are all based on Debian, why do they not install, but Debian does?
Viewer Question: My Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130 is not working on Debian. What can I do?
Viewer Question: I have Ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop, and would like to setup an Exchange-like server on it. Is there some way setup an Exchange server on Linux?
