Yeah, I told Gnome to pack her crap and call a cab. KDE's my home box now.

Wait, that *really* sounds wrong...I may have taken this analogy too far this time.

Gnome keeps wanting me to...you know...try different things...and so I do...you know, to keep things interesting...but Gnome's just a freak.

I just want something a bit more mature and stable.

I want to say I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart...

For the longest time, I have snubbed you and said cruel things like, "KDE's just a transitional environment for ex-Windows users..." and...

Did you install Multiarch by chance?

If so, you may want to take a look Here.

Yeah, I checked out the .hidden folders in ~/home and couldn't find a bloody thing.

So my solution of removing them all, saving and then telling it to start up cairo-dock at start seemed to fix...

RESOLUTION:

Although I am sure there is a more elegant way to do this, I presumed that the issue was in the fact of having originally spawned the cairo-dock, telling it to always launch at startup...

I'd stick with AMD, best bang for your buck. Yes, an i5 might be a little more powerful, but it's not going to give you the same all around performance for price.

As for the ASUS board, I've been...

Hard drive is dying.

I hate to be captain obvious but A) Don't shut the lid. B) check your power options, it's most likely going to sleep state when you close the lid, thus killing off everything.

Take some steps to verify where the issue is coming from.

IF they play, THEN hardware issue - laptop hard drive is dying.

#1: The case/PSU combo won't work - the PSU is underpowered. I'd go with an 80+ bronze certified PSU, myself - it really helps reduce the power consumption. Just find something decent to put one...

Actually, I'm not. Knowing that you can't really make much money when you offer the source code for free isn't the same as saying you CAN'T sell it.

No experience with Free Geek, but I've offered my services to local NPOs etc. To me, if you're going to help, don't get anything out of it - just help out.

In your situation, you'd be crazy not to go to college - you have a free ride while gaining experience serving in the armed forces - it's a win/win.

For the folks without a degree, of which I...

First, I'd like to say that age does not inhibit the ability to offer an opinion or advice. In fact, I'd say the exact opposite - the older you are, the more you have to offer.
