I got an EEEPC for Christmas. Horrid, ugly distro on it. I replaced it with a notebook version of the same Lenny as on this desk top. I used X-marks to import my bookmarks. I can move easily from...

Hey, I tried top. Very interesting. When my system slows down, I often use ps -aux and have trouble trying to figure out what I want to keep and what to kill. Sometimes I kill things I want. ...

You make some good points. Likely I know Mac OS 7.6 as well as anything except perhaps C+ dos for the RS color computer.
I find across the board, I pull down a menu and it doesn't have what I...

My family has fostered puppies until after they are a year old and ready to begin service dog training for many years. Friday, we received a list of 30 names starting with ''T'' to choose one for...

A couple of months ago I picked up a PCchips MB/chip combo from Tiger Direct at a good price. It is doing fine with my Debian. I did have some problems with resolution, but that is fixed now.

Even with my rudimentary knowledge, I managed to install Ubuntu on a new, out of the box HDD. I wasn't happy with it, so I am running Debian. I need a GUI, but the above suggestions of a small...

Well I have Netscape Communicator 4.8 running under VMware Windows XP. I am writing this in it and I have already sent an email using it. I will have to play around some more. The trouble is, it...

On both this Debian and on my old Mandrake, I had a little monitor icon at the bottom. Clicking it opened a terminal window.

Does Canon us a print head separate from the ink cartridge? if so, it may be a terrible choice for an occasional user. I had a very bad experience with an Epson. The print head clogged up between...

Maybe I will get up the guts to try it tomorrow.

OK pretty please, what is the trick. Over the weekend my SIL installed Debian on my new system, Athlon 3500+, PCChips AG13+ MB with NVIDA MCP61 on board video. I am stuck with 1280 x 1024...

My memory of the 80's isn't as sharp as it could be. Still, I know there was a lot of good work done with the primitive tools we had then. My father in law changed how engineers designed...

Good points, HughA. Perhaps most forums tend to be dominated by true believers, quick to pounce on any dissent.

So why am I still running Mandrake 10.1 despite my problems? The main reason for right now was after I installed Kbuntu 7.1.0 on my new AMD 3500 based, it looked like aside from being faster, I was...

I am quite disappointed how negative this thread has turned. If you are going to knock me, at least knock me for what I said.
I would gladly trade the frill of having the OS update daylight time...

I guess it is really tough sharing the world with mere mortals for some.

No Aussie John, the time problem was a week or 2 ago when we made the now March switch to daylight time. I notice another thread where a couple of other people were having trouble resetting time. I...

I want an OS that works. After spending hours fighting Mandrake just to move the time up an hour, that leaves it out. 10.1 didn't work 5 years ago. I have run into one thing after another. Are...
-
I think bill marshell nailed the essense. The OS should stay hidden under well running applications. While different users vary on their ability to go the command line and fix things, I think all...
-
In general, our highly technology based society, is technically inept. Do you think any of our good Linux users have their system 3 prong plug, plugged into a 2 prong adaptor, and then it plugged...

Am I a weirdo? Maybe 10 years ago when I got my first real computer, a Mac Quadra, my ISP set me up with Eudora for email and Netscape as a browser. Messenger kept popping up and I soon decided it...

Don't count on too much help from Linux for Dummies. While I have dug out a few things that help, mostly it is about making use of applications that there are better alternatives for. As I do...

How long does it take the virtual machine to boot? I can do the change over in seconds.

OK, I installed Kubuntu 7.1.0 last night, and I am completely disgusted with it. Other than my old fiend Klipper, almost nothing is the same as KDE under Mandrake 10.1. Well the same, lame excuse...

I can't afford MAC and I get considerable support from my kids for Linux. They used to be into Mac, but mostly over the wider availbilty of hardware, switched to Linex. It is not so much the OS,...
