I'm afraid I won't be of much help, but I ran Red Hat 5 (and 4) on an old Pentium II (I think, my memory ain't what it used to be, things fade out after 68 years or so). But anyway, it installed...

Hadn't had a chance to read them yet, but looking forward to it. Ran a couple Amiga's back in the day and loved them. I think I may have one kicking around out in storage. Not sure. It was a...

Have not tried it at all. Downloading it as I type. Be curious to see what is what. Have an Android phone and can't see it as a desktop OS, but one never knows. We'll see what we shall see...

Log me in as a relatively long time user. Started in Oct 2010 on my netbook. I've been trying to like it, but getting around all the extra mouse clicks to get anything done has, for the immediate...

Another option that is interesting ins Crunch Bang. I have it on one of my netbooks and am getting to like it a bit more every day. A bit different, but in a nice sort of way methinks. Don't blame...

Nothing wrong with Fedora if you want to be on the bleeding edge. It was/is never intended to be a totally stable OS. It's where Red Hat gets the bugs out (they hope).

For the most part it's as stated earlier ... all the codecs etc. are pre-installed. Audio and wireless pretty much work out of the box. Mint seems to handle that better. The desktop is quite...

Trust me, you don't need to know code to use Linux. Knowing a few commands will make things simpler and faster, but being an expert coder is not necessary. I started with micro's in 1976. Lived...

Natty is turning out to be a real dog. It's cluncky, slow, bug rideen and has a mind of it's own at times. Definitely not ready for the prime time. I'm running a business and that sort of thing...

If it was me, and it isn't, I'd be for waiting a long, long time. Probably until 11.10 or after. Unity looks cool, but is not nearly a polished product. It takes away some of the things you...

I've been totally Linux for at least 10 years. Many different distros.

I just did what you are about to do. The graphics driver was not an issue. It loaded as a proprietary driver after the system was up and running. Sound worked with no additional work at all; came...

I don't know if this counts or not. I did a clean install of the Alfa release to three different machines. One at a time, spread out over about two weeks just to be safe. Did the system updates...

Being the redneck that I am, I suggest buying a minimum of one of each. When you've killed the satellite dish there will probably be a deer around someplace that needs to be disposed of. Venison...

My experience was Ho-Hum! Went back to Ubuntu. That being said, it's that way with most distro's. Other than the look and feel, they're all the same under the hood. You bring up a terminal and...

And that's one of the other benefits of linux ... you get to play around if you want to.

Good music? Depends on your definition. Here's what I like. You probably won't, but enjoy the scenery.

Guilty! The honest truth is that other than the interfaces they are all pretty much the same. Linux appears to be, for the most part linux, for the average user. There are differences between...

Sounds like a good target to me! Wouldn't last long, but would be fun/useful while it lasted.

Mineral oil is a good insulator and cooling mechanism. It's been used for years as a coolant in high power "dummy loads" for tuning and testing transmitters. Should work with not problem.

I can see them in Dallas, Austin (maybe), or Houston (or other large cities). I don't know what the break down is between rural and city drivers is, but suspect there are more city drivers than...

Well, It's kinda like this .... On my two desktops it's been a breeze. Everything works perfectly.

My laptop it a different story. Sound and WiFi work fine, surprisingly easy as a matter of...

Trust me, if she doesn't expect it to work like windows, she/it is ready. Darned few aps, other than games, don't satisfy a persons requirements.

I'm just a stodgy old 66 year old. But, I've done a fair amount of time wandering around the world as a young fellow; Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Formosa, Vietnam, Phillipines, Guam, Hawaii (and a few...

There's an old saying, "Don't cast your pearls before swine." Which means no sense wasting a lot of time on those who are non-receptive. Just plant the seed and let nature take it's course. ...
