I still lurk here, even though I've been (sadly) linux-less for about a year.

When I first started, I used it so much that I had it printed and bound at Kinko's. And for those times where I needed more in-depth help, the guide helped me to...

What a timely topic for me!
I've been lamenting the fact that there are no console-based word processors, like there used to be for DOS. As is, I have to type my stuff in vi and then prep it for...

I gave my mom a Knoppix CD and she uses it occasionally to play Frozen Bubble. And then she forgets how to shut it down so she takes the disk out of the drive and reboots the machine with the power...

Nah....
You really want Grandma to use Linux? Get AOL to work with Linux, and get those online game sites to work with Linux. You know the ones I mean, where grannies from around the world gather...

The necessity of a package manager for me is to avoid dependency hell. But you're right, apt-get on the command line would do that just as well.
For me, using the graphical interface in this case...

This weekend, I broke up with Mandrake. After 2.5 years, I felt my hardware wasn't getting the attention it needed from my OS. I'm not ready to give up on my hardware, sooooo.....
I went with...

I wanted more control of and better performance from my computer. Linux was, and still is, exactly what I need.
I was nervous about partitioning and shrinking the windows portion of the computer....

Ah, I see. As far as Pov-Ray, I was considering Free Software movement to encompass more than the GPL. And it's true that Blender didn't start out as open source. (It wasn't the same as netscape...

It was programs like pov-ray and Blender on Windows that got me to try Linux in the first place.
It was having complete control over my own machine that has kept me with Linux for the last 4-5...

Whew! Turns out I'm more rusty than I thought. I've got a lot of the program written, but the most important part is what I haven't been able to figure out.
Looking over my old notes, examples and...

My goal is kind of goofy. The programs (fullrecall and supermemo, for example) using the Q&A format text files are used to assist in memorizing Scrabble words. (Many of which don't even look like...

bwkaz,
Thanks, but I'm not looking for an anagram generator. (And yes, I would google to find one if that's what I needed. ;)) I want to take an existing list of words (which already includes the...

My scripting is unbelievably rusty, so this will take me some time. I'm hoping to avoid too many false starts by asking for advice first. My first instinct is to head for BASH, but now that I know...

I've been away for awhile, so I haven't yet seen all of your posts.
Subjects like "Some Newbie Linux Questions" sound okay in casual conversation (real life or IRC), but aren't specific enough...

I've got a Linux fish on the back of my car.

One evening I found a note on my windshield thanking me for not using "windoze."

For a long time, I'd missed the control of a real command line. I also wanted real freedom to tinker with my system. Plus, I was using Blender a lot and the other Blenderheads told me that it ran...

blackbelt_jones, you flatter me so!
I am in fact married, for 1.5 years now. Hubby is also a computer and astronomy geek.
As for being scared off, not a chance. I'm 34 years old. I was...

My username is pretty mundane as well.
First name is Waylena, nickname is Way. Astronomy is my first and oldest passion in life, hence the Star portion of the name.

ESC, eh? Well how 'bout that! All this time I've been opening a terminal and killing the process.
Not quite as addictive as tetris was back in the day, but almost. It's kind of scary to find...

hard candy, I think that is a WONDERFUL idea!

I'm stumped. I'm posting this to technical, since it's a little bit of this and a little bit of that. (games, software, scripting, etc)
I'm trying to get an internet scrabble client to work. I...

My car could be used for illegal activites as well. I could be transporting narcotics, illegal aliens, any number of things. It could even be used as a getaway car for a bank robery.
Of course,...
