No, I'm not talking about the lovable yet frustratingly difficult to beat game from the Far East
Nor am I talking about the lovable yet frustratingly difficult to make out with man from the Far East
No... I refer to the lovable yet frustratingly easy to fuck up OS from Finland.... Linux!
Last saturday I downloaded and installed Ubuntu, and I must say that I'm extremely impressed so far. It's not nearly as difficult as I believed it would be. Everything is quite straight-forward and easy to locate. Shit, I've only had to reformat once so far...
Yeah, anyway... let's talk about linux.

and it hasn't been too bad, i've learned some things
although, i occasionally have to boot into my XP partition to do some programming or the occasional game
the best part about ubuntu is that it doesn't make my fan run 95% of the time like XP
(see, my computer is shitty)
EDIT: wtb potatoe

What sorts of things?

nothing to be proud of
Look Daft Punk, take it outside.
if x = windows and y = linux
solve for why is (y) better than (x)
He's probably using DirectX.
I guess I want you to convince me to switch, best you can.

It works surprisingly well, with the caveat that Windows can't see my main hard drives for some reason, so I have to reboot when I need to access files stored on them.
not a linux fan?
there was a hardware simulator designed for windows that i had to use to help me learn how to program in assembly language
plus access, even if it's not really programming
i hate you access
find me one, cal

Hello, Sheri! How have you been?
Alive! You?

Tired, and about to go to bed. Been working mandatory overtime all month, and the month ends are the busiest time for us. Have to put in a 12 hour day on Sunday.
That is some gay shit.
I am also about to go to bed.
Let's go together, but separately. Deal?

They each have their awesomeness and their lameness.
Example; With windows I have to beat the shit out of it in order to get it to look the way I want (transparent title bars, dock bar, min/max/close on left, etc.). With linux it took me about 15 minutes.
However, with windows I can plug in a 5-button mouse and it works. With linux I have to beat the shit out of it for a while to get it to recognize all of the mouse buttons.
Those are just two examples I've encountered in the past week, but I think they pretty much demonstrate what I'm seeing.
They each have their ups and downs.
And I do not care about Linux, because I'm never on a PC long enough to care what operating system I'm using.
Good night!
last time I tried to install ubuntu or knoppix, they both refused to install on the system I have here.
that arrow is pointing the wrong way
less than 1 ghz
Could you get the live cd working at all?
have you tried ubuntu 7.04? I've seen on the forums that people use it on sub-1ghz systems.
Pretty sure I tried that one... maybe not, though.
Normally I would use it for equal parts internet/IM/gaming/goofing off but the computer I've been using lately isn't very powerful at all so a lot of games are out of the question.
