A Suggestion... Saving Files

[Frank]

On a very serious note, without a hint of being facetious, could you
give me a list of tasks you do on your Linux partition? I am very snotty
about Linux but I am also curious. I have never heard anything like a
hard evidence.

A guy at one forum (MSFN which is by small subscription, almost
voluntary) stated that the had (1) Vista, (2) XP, (3) Win98, (4) I swear
something else I do not remember and (5 or perhaps 6) was Linux. Five
OSs on one machine.

I used to think in multiples too until I realized that was a total waste
of time. I still have Win2K + Vista on one machine and I dream about the
day when I will be able to get rid of Win2K. I still have some software
on it my secretary has to use and I do not have time to rework it in C#.
It is in Visual dBase. I have WinServ2003, Vista, half broken XP with no
Internet, another Vista on this machine. I curse the day when I did it.
It is useful to have 2 OS of the same mold on one machine, two Vistas or
two XPs you you like them because at times you have to boot the other
one to fix this.

So, please, explain what is all this bragging about Linux. And I do not
want to be offensive. I am just curious.

Thanks.

You could, upon the first time saving a file, click on FILE | SAVE AS then
select the directory and folder where you want the file saved and it will
always be right there where you designated.

With your brain injuries, everything in life turns into a job for you
Frankie Boy. Heck, getting all those peas cleared off your plate becomes a
job for you.

No need to respond. Just read my sig, it's there to help you.

Cheers.

Actually I no longer dual boot. I use removable drive kits and since I am a
computer refurbisher...
have a (seemingly) endless supply of smaller harddrives to experiemwnt with.

If you want to give Linux a try I suggest downloading Damn Small Linux as
it's only a 50 meg download.
You can then burn the .iso image to cd and bootup with it...run it from the
cd...
and it does not require a harddrive install.

I am not one of those people who will take sides in an 'operating system
war' as I like to use as many different
operating systems as I can.

All have a purpose. All are good. All are bad.
I just like to learn...and I like to fool around with how things work.

BTW: If you did want to install Linux I suggest PCLinuxOS...I find that it
works very well...
and with an emulater installed (called WINE) many windows applications will
also run

With Linux you can do pretty much the same things as you can with Windows or
a Mac.
