Well, I have almost gotten everything back up and running. It was not as easy as I had hoped, but I guess any good learning experience is time well spent.
I started this process because of the failed hard drive that contained Windows Vista. I had been running just with Linux, but there was some things [...]

I have had a major hard drive failure on my primary PC. It appears that the disk that contained the Microsoft OS Vista has died. Unfortunately, that disk contained the boot-loader for my Linux system and I am unable to boot into Linux.
I was able to boot up a live CD Linux system and backup [...]

I thought you might like to see the desktop on my KDE system I wrote about in a previous post. Here is a screen capture.
I am using the plain vanilla desktop that comes with openSUSE. I have sprinkled a few widgets on it and they all have a use for me.

Nineteen days ago I downloaded openSUSE 11.2 Linux and installed it on my backup PC. I was so pleased that I decided to move it to my primary PC and replaced the RC version of Windows 7 and for the last eight days it has been my main system.
The layout of the desktop is very [...]

The title is not exactly correct. What I have done is to replace Windows 7 RC (the last free down loadable Release Candidate of Windows 7) with openSUSE 11.2.
I had been running Windows 7 RC in a dual boot configuration with Windows Vista for a few months. Windows Vista with all of the latest [...]

SUSE’s implementation of KDE 4.3 it much better than the KUBUNTU version I [...]

openSUSE will release version 11.2 on November 12. Linux users, who are KDE advocates, should take a look at openSUSE. While UBUNTU get most of the press, if you like KDE, KUBUNTU usually isn’t as good an implementation.
Most people still think that Linux is only for geeks and to some extent, many versions are. However, [...]

It has been a while since I wrote anything on the Linux releases. Today UBUNTU publishes its 9.10 release. It comes in many versions, Gnome, KDE, as well as several other variants.
Ubuntu is an African word meaning ‘Humanity to others’ and when it came into being, UBUNTU became the leading Linux for novices. It has [...]

It has been a while since I have written about my recent hardware upgrade. I have it pretty well setup like I like now. The purchase has been a great success. I could not have touched what I bought for less than $2,000 and I got it for less than half that including upgrading to [...]

I have been busy working on the new PC. After a shaky start, it is running like a champ.
I am actually happy that I resolved the Microsoft Vista problems and re-installed it. I have applied all maintenance through SP2 and it is running very well. I must say that I like it better than I [...]
