@gamerchick02 I switched back to HelloTxt from Ping.fm .. Ping.fm needs to get their previously speedy act back together.

Opera if u had any browser market share u wldn't have to go 2 the EU and cry like a baby cuz you don't like what MS is doing w/ their own OS

John Blanton Oliver White

@olliewhite that's why I like it so much .. nothing wrong with a new retro-styled Ferrari! nope nothing at all :)

@gamerchick02 I lived in Ohio for 3 years I liked it because it's relatively quiet but moved back to TN cuz I was soooo bored! hehe

John Blanton

John Blanton Paul Pidgeon

@ppidgeon thanks.

John Blanton Paul Pidgeon

@ppidgeon yeah but at what cost? The prices of goods and svcs will have to increase negating the wage increase imo.

I do like Ubuntu a lot but I usually brake it trying to get non free drivers and hardware accel. setup

John Blanton بنیامین لهستانی

@binyamin maybe this will be what I need to fire up the good 'ol dual boot again ;) :)

John Blanton بنیامین لهستانی

@binyamin yeah but I hvn't seriously sat down & tried Linux since before synaptic and YaST came about. I'm going to try it again though

John Blanton بنیامین لهستانی

@binyamin cuz when it comes to package management there isn't anything intuitive about it.

John Blanton بنیامین لهستانی

@binyamin with the Linux community there is no middle ground while people myself that want to switch to Linux full time can't...

John Blanton بنیامین لهستانی

@binyamin Maybe but do you really enjoy being forced into learning progamming skills because Linux doesn't want to be like Windows?

John Blanton Roger Pixley

@skreech2 yeah that's the last time I tried terminally updating a kernel via the terminal and the last time I tried using Linux.

John Blanton Roger Pixley

@skreech2 ..cuz I have 0 programming skills and I shouldn't have to learn that just to update my os.

John Blanton Roger Pixley

@skreech2 I'm a hardware guy I dn't like the idea of having 2 compile a kernel 2 update my OS. makes me feel inadequate to be quite honest..

John Blanton

@bugabundo it was a long time ago tho ..around the time Ubuntu 8.04 shipped if I remember correctly.

John Blanton Amy H.

@gamerchick02 it was my first time ever using linux and I asked a ? about using the terminal ..can't remember what the ? was now.
