Carnaval Is Over – Did You Survive It
Mar 1st, 2006 by Don Ray
All stores should be open after eleven this morning. I saw no reason to get out into the fray this year. I just played with the PC systems.
I am still not able to configure the Linux system without problems. I don’t know if it is the system or the user. One would expect it is the user, except that I have pretty well checked what I have done and done several things more than once. This is probably going to require a fair amount of time on the SuSE forums.
Linus Torvalds was the finnish student, when he started to create Linux system!
Now he is living with his family in Santa Clara , California.
We must have always something new to make our brains working. Good luck with Linux!
Thanks. I have to admit that Linux is not as easy to get running as Windows XP. I am considering switching PCs and putting XP on my new PC and Linux on my older PC. This is not a short term project.
I see you’ve got a new toy
Good luck with Linux!
Linux can be frustrating, especially with some motherboards. I’ve been a Linux user since 2001 (primarily Red Hat / Fedora Core) and skipped Fedora Core 2 on one of my machines because there was a known problem with the motherboard :(. I since have upgraded that machine to FC3 and FC5.
I’ve experimented a bit with SuSE 10.0 and Ubuntu 5.10. I don’t know if it’s my bias against KDE, but I found SuSE not to fill my bill (at least on my laptop). I would encourage you to try Ubuntu; they do have AMD64 versions. You might try the live CD to see if everything works first.
I think I may re-think my approach and consider putting Linux on my older PC and XP on the new one. It looks like it is going to take too much effort to get a stable Linux sustem on the new motherboard and I think the old PC may work better.
I had everything working, but it was still a little unstable. I think I liked KDE fine. I actually think I liked it better than the Gnome version.
When I get the software moved between PCs I will probably try several versions of Linux.
