The hard drive install version of Ubuntu is very user friendly, simple to install, with excellent hardware detection. Another thing I like about Ubuntu is the regular release cycle. According to the Ubuntu website they're releasing new versions at six month intervals.

Hi shanenin, Hey good news about the new version of Ubuntu, I'll give that a try and download it when it comes out, thanks:-) I'm not sure yet if I'm out of luck with the CDs, they may show up. The software company isn't being very helpful, they don't know where the CDs are. It's only $10 that I'm out if they're lost.....oh well. The company hasn't volunteered to do anything for me yet. I think from now on I'll download all of my CDs, I've got the bandwidth, might as well use it. No I'm actually okay with Linux, I've got two Linux boxes. I'm running Ubuntu 5.04 on my other faster Plll IBM

Wow, I turn around and the fine people at Mozilla have released another security patch for Fire Fox. Fire Fox 1.0.4 ia available now. Old news, actually.

Those are good ideas, shanenin. However, my computer chipset doesn't recognize ALSA, fiddling with it before caused my computer to give some very strange errors and crash on shut down. For some reason the software company that is shipping me Mandriva has lost the shipment and they say it's my problem, go figure? So I'm running Mandrake 10.1 on this unit right now and everything works. When and if Mandriva shows up I'll give it a try. Strangely enough I downloaded, installed Mandriva 2005 and it gave me some really strange errors during the install even tthough my MD5SUMs were fine, so I aborte

I found that the Ubuntu Live CD has very good hardware detection, it's very fast.

Little Known Naval History The U.S.S. Constitution (Old Ironsides) as a combat vessel carried 48,600 gallons of fresh water for her crew of 475 officers and men. This was sufficient to last six months of sustained operations at sea. She carried no evaporators (fresh water distillers). However, let it be noted that according to her log, "On July 27, 1798, the U.S.S. Constitution sailed from Boston with a full complement of 475 officers and men, 48,600 gallons of fresh water, 7,400 cannon shot, 11,600 pounds of black powder and 79,400 gallons of rum." Her mission: "To destroy and harass English

Hi Folks, This message is for beginners just thinking about starting out in Linux. If you are thinking you might like to try Linux I'd try using a Live Linux CD. A live Linux CD is a Linux distribution that runs completely from your CD ROM drive without altering the software installed on your hard drive. So if you're running Windows XP you can safely launch the Live CD without messing up your computer. I downloaded and burned Ubuntu this morning, it runs very well. I'm posting this message with the Ubuntu Live CD. There are many Live CDs to choose from, I've used all of these Live CDs;

: The Etiquette class Short & Great Regarding manners and etiquette: During a good manners and etiquette class, the teacher says to her students: "If you were courting a well educated young girl from a prominent family, and during a dinner for two you needed to go to the toilet, what would you say to her?" Mike replies "Wait a minute, I'm going for a leak" The teacher says : "That would be very rude and improper on your part."

SURFING!!!!!

Make sure you're running as root. Open up a terminal navigate to the directory where you downloaded the tarball to. Extract the tarball and run the installer like so: tar -xzvf firefox-1.0.4.installer.tar.gz cd firefox-installer ./firefox-installer If you have Nautilus set up to run Executable Text Files you can just double click firefox-installer to run. Then add the Fire Fox icon to your menu bar. Hope this helps.

Well said, robroy As a child of the 50s your post rings true to me. My 10 year old has advantages that I never had yet I turned out okay. This could be one of the reasons why technology fascinates me. Toys for a big kid at heart.
