Default very OT: Azz goes penguin


My last minutes on a windows system.
My company already switched to Suse.
Been testing this old system with the damnsmalllinux (.org) live-cd, runs
like lightening. Simple, but more than good enough for email, webbrowsing
and playing mp3's. Doing a hd-install after this post.
No flame intended, actually I still think Bill and friends did a great job,
and pc's wouldn't be such an appreciated part of our daily lives without
him.
Thanks to all in this group for all the freeware-help in the past.
I'm getting my azz out of here.

With all the freeware / open source for Linux, why wouldn't you ask for
help or inforem others in *this* group? It is not for windows only, it
is what we make it :-)

regards from still windows-user, but will try Ubunto 5.10 Breezy Badger

I'm sure it's a fine distro but it sounds like it should be on a little
girl's laptop ;-)

Nah, that's the official disto for *boys.* Our little girl's laptop
runs MyLittlePony Linux /exclusively/...

OT as ever,

Hat's off to you, Azzman. I just successfully set up a dual boot
WinXP/Linux box for me and my wife. Tested it and it runs fine.

I have been wanting to go 100% linx for a while now and I think I can
with the current setup (once I get the NTFS issues worked out with some
neat free software). I have been doing a fair bit of my work on a Linux
box at work and my old slow server at home, but I really wanted to tap
the power of my 3 gig machine with Ubuntu.

I still plan on hitting this group for freeware my wife can use and for
those odd times I am on the Windows box.
