Thanks for the replies. I will give it another try later tonight. I would like to use 9.10, although as I said, 9.04 is running great.

I filed a bug report, but it didn't appear to help to date. My problem was an Internet that took forever to open a page, link, etc. I haven't seen anything that slow since I had a dial-up modem. I...

I did a clean install of 9.10. It went extremely well. All of my components were recognized and setup properly. However, my browsers, Chrome and Firefox, are operating very slowly. In fact, I...

Good luck!

If you are using two separate hard drives, then don't select the side-by-side option. You can simply install JJ on the second drive and GRUB will allow you access either OS. I have been doing this...

I strongly agree with your disagree. If Windows installed as easily as JJ, I would be extremely happy. Windows takes soooo long. I have XP Pro on one drive and JJ on the other. I was pleasantly...

I normally keep at least two kernels in GRUB that work correctly. This way if one goes bad, I can use the other.

"Startupmanger" works great!

You know your a geek when you can only talk in acronyms; ROM, CPU, PSU, Mobo, CD, DVD, etc. Also, when your nickname is old_geekster. :)

I had to do a follow-up on my statements. Last night I did a clean install of HH 32-bit. It had been two distros since I had used it (32-bit). I found it to be extremely slow. At first, I thought...

Truthfully, I can't say that I have found 64-bit to be much faster than 32-bit. I used 32-bit Ubuntu from Edgy to Gutsy. Then, I decided to upgraded to 64-bit Gutsy. Since I had both versions of...

I am sticking with the "X". I have tried the others with Edgy and Feisty and still like "X" the best.

I was too late to vote, but as many have said, I help anyone that I can when it comes to using computers. It doesn't matter to me that they use Windows. In fact, I still have XP Pro SP2 on two...

I am certain that some of the reason is the companies don't want to give support for other drivers. They no doubt have enorgh problems with the Windows drivers.

Here is the link to a good website on native Linux games:

I hope this answers your question.

I have to say, "SCREW" MS. I will sell my PC and buy Apple if they keep it up.

I won't be told what OS I have to use by a company. Are they going to come to my house to see what I have...

Ya know, if there is a stigma about using Linux, all I can say is, "Who cares"?

If I can get a quality product (OO, for instance) that will do what I need for FREE, wouldn't it be foolish to not...

All you have to do is install Automatix2. When you start the program there is a warning about downloading codecs if you live in the U.S. If you want to use them, you have to pay the piper.

Ya know, we can go around and around on this subject. We all have our own ideas. The truth is, in the U.S. it is illegal no matter how you cut it.

Oh, yes, I know there are other countries in...

I have been searching for a simple program to make a drawing of a buliding project I want to do.

I found QCad, but it is too complex to learn quickly.

Any help will be appreciated.

I want games, however, that I can play on my own computer, such as, "Alien Arena 2007". It is still a bit cartoonish, but it is fun.

I am not a fan of online gaming. Maybe it is my age, I don't...

I have used Microsoft and Apple OSes since 1984. I simply am tired of being forced to update my computer when someone else makes it necessary.

I know my rig (see my Signature) is very capable of...

Two very well-stated points.

I don't believe that most folks do hate Microsoft, however. They simple are saying what they believe will make others accept them. It is a way to get attention.
