  1. Re: Realistically, can OpenOffice replace MS Works Suite?

    Yes.

    I haven't used MSOffice for at least a year.

    I write all my essays and such for school in Linux. I've never had a problem with OO's ability to export in ".doc" format.

    Actually, I use...

    Re: is the linux world picking on UBUNTU?

    True, that gets on my nerves too. I don't use Windows, and I dual boot Gentoo, yet I still love Ubuntu.

    Ubuntu ain't no Windows, and that's a good thing. It just simplifies/automates some...

    Re: Complete list of Backports

    If you mean a straight list, no.

    That would require too much frequent updating to be feasible.

  6. Poll: Re: "Ubuntu Testimonial Archive" should be "Ubuntu Testimonial"?

    I dunno, I kinda like "Archive". Sounds important. People "archive" valuble stuff, so it doesn't strike me as off-putting. But that's just IMHO.

    Maybe "Anthology" or "Collection" or "Showcase"...

    Poll: Re: Which distribution should I try next?

    Slax or Mutagenix or KateOS are nice Slax-based distro's. GoboLinux is fun too.

    Re: Trouble Compiling Sega Emulator Gens

    Acutally, I run the Windows version of Gens+ under wine and with some configging it runs better that the current "native" linux version. SegaCD/Sega 32x support works very well too.
  10. Re: Do we really need an Ideologically pure Derivative?

    I'm...let's see...97.99% free of non-free/multiverse packages.

    Hey, you're still in the Linux family, man. Good Luck and Have Fun.
  12. Re: Do we really need an Ideologically pure Derivative?

    Just one thing: Who's going to use this?

    Not many people, I'm thinking. I love FLOSS, but the simple fact is, 98% of computer users will not trade functionality for 100% pure GPL adherance when...

    I don't think so and I wouldn't. Keep the old kernel there just in case. You can remove it afterwards

  20. Poll: Re: Epiphany or firefox default browser for dapper?

    What I meant is that with Firefox, stuff like RSS feeds/smart bookmarks and search features are much
    easier to use and manage than in Epiphany. Plus, Firefox has some really nice extensions.
  21. Poll: Re: Epiphany or firefox default browser for dapper?

    Firefox is seen by a lot of people as cool, maybe even trendy.
    Nobody outside of Linux users has ever heard of Epiphany. Epiphany is
    easier to use, but not once you try to do anything other than...

    Wouldn't it be much easier to install via synaptics, instead of bothering with a DOS emu?
    Besides, UQM is open-source, unlike SC2, right?

    Re: Favorite Free Linux Game

    It's in synaptics, if you have all the repo's enables(universe, multiverse, etc..)
    It's an old version, though. Looks like we'll have to wait for a backport or Dapper to get 0.4.

    Sounds cool. Most people just want there computer to do certain things. This could be a way to introduce
    Linux/Ubuntu to the average guy. And, you'd be doing them a favor by switching them to Linux
