Try SoftMaker Office , it flies and it is made for Linux!
Uf course they is batter , they went's two's gammer skool !
For those who think MS Office is necessary it can be run under wine with just a few cosmetic flaws. A better solution is Softmaker Office, it flies , the PP alternative is superior , Word and Ecxell...
LOL , I am also now and know handicapped.
You have to be patient. It can be frustrating if you don't know how to restore windows but once you learn it is a 3 minute operation. If you no longer want Linux on the machine delete the Linux...
To whoever said that winmodems will not work in Linux I switched to linux primarily because waiting for virus dat files to download made a miserable experience dreadful. About 60 % of them will work...
Try SoftMaker Office , no wories! SM is very similar to MS Office, the learning curve is a matter of minutes. A windows virus will complicate your life I gaurantee! The number one problem people...
Mary , try googling the question. Puppy Linux is set to single click by default and any Linux can be used either way.
Funny but the F.B.I. and the Australian Secret Police use a Puppy Linux disk for their banking and absolutely warn against ever using windows, but I guess their idiots?
Open Office is not the only...
The powerPoint replacement for SoftMaker Office , Presentations , is 100% compatible w/ PP way faster. , SM Presentations was using animation while PP users could only dream of them. Try it. If you...
Sure, might take a while but you could make Linux call itself windows, the qestion is why would you? LOL!
SoftMaker does all that just 10 times faster and runs perfectly because it has a Linux version.
First you only use "run as " for certain programs most people would never use it
and nobody uses regularly save maybe an IT guy or a programmer.. Do a search for permissions and learn how to change...
Forgot to say modern versions of SM are compatible with docx and all are compatible with Excel and Powerpoint as well as Open Office , Libre etc.
I have people in their 60's and 70's that run Puppy Linux. It allows them to securely check their stocks , send email. and play solitaire which is all they do and it flies on equipment windows won't...
Firefox is an open source program, it runs on many platforms so I miss your point. Yes you can change the code in Firefox. Linux = no viruses !!
I agree, avi files will never compress like mpegs .
I might buy 2 hours if you are truly prepared . Of course you could ghost your system on a regular basis but how long does that take? With Linux I keep several copies of several versions on the...
One hour? Unless you have a ghost I don't think so. Of course I can simply reboot into a copy of my os {or another if I choose} and be up and running in 2 minutes. Even if I buy your hour, which I...
It is also not fair windows gets all the viruses and poor Linux is left out of the fun!
I cannot tell you how many people have brought me there virus infected Billy Box because they downloaded software to play online games. The games that require no download are no problem but windows...
Games are an advantage in Windows but many of the latest games run well under wine. The second quickest way to get a virus is online gaming. X-Box is for games
Eye candy versus viruses ?
Lol , sorry but that disk is better used as a beanie copter, even in windows.
Throw the disk in the trash! There is an ip address on the router such as 192-168.0.1. . Type that in your browser and...
It is funny that the people who defend windows never bother to mention the ONLY reason that it can be difficult to perform certain actions such as this is because MS pressures hardware companies to...
