Question by rxdump: How to install a proxy server on a Linux server and use it from my Windows computer?
My Linux server is in the USA. I’m in Canada. I want to use my Linux server as a proxy to be “detected” as coming from the USA when I surf the web. Thank you for your help!
It would be nice to have a step-by-step how-to.

You can try parallels desktop which allows you to use multiple operating systems as an application that may help. I use it to run microsoft office on my mac.

I have an old computer that when i try to start it up, the screen is just blue. It used to run windows 99. Would I be able to put a version of linux on it. If so, what steps would I have to take. I was thinking ubuntu but I am an open (source) guy. Desperate try for a joke.

The computer may be faulty so all the effort to load linux on it will be a waste of time.

If it has a CD/DVD drive on it, try booting with a bootable CD. Any will do, like an operating system CD.
