I WILL NEVER DOUBT YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:
I am forever yours!!
I just had to say this.
After strugling a bit in the beginning I thing I'm trying to get the hang of it.
Man, I come from MEPIS and MANDRAKE and KDE.
I will be installing UBUNTU on my box at work now ( replacing Mepis ).
Its a stringent test. I work with an ALL windows ( 200+ ) people and network.
We have on Red Hat Server.
I actually have a problem here. I can browse the etwork but it doesnt give me access to shared folders ( unless I C$ and enter the user's password )
I struggled with 4 Distro's to get my Exchange ( Evolution ) working to no Aavail.
I was using web based exchange and I felt very dissapointed by now, I thought I'm going to re-install Warty after having removed it for Mepis. Reasons? :
mp3, Flash, java
ROOT access problems.
I though KDE was great.
MAN Am I glad I percevered(sp) a bit!!
I LOVE UBUNTU
I LOVE GNOME - MAn is KDE a bloated UGLY package ;)
Root access, It got solved for me on a FEDORA board, can you believe it? after I strugled to get the right help here. Hmm maybe I asked wrong.
Got my root problems solved ( still a bit off troubles I will post that later. )
Gnome - man its so configureable XML and everything. FAST It is probly twice as fast as my KDE was!
COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY COMMUNITY.
THese forums are great. the help and resources are getting there very quickly.
DEBIAN DEBIAN DEBIAN. I will never go back to a RPM based Distro. Well I said never before but they will have to do A LOT for me to return.
My MAIL! Evolution worked with a couple of clicks and I'm getting my mail from an exchange server!! I tried this with 4 other distro's ( even installing evolution ) without results. Dont ask me why UBUNTU works and not the others.
Sort out the Root issue ( make it easier for people to have a root access log-on by default. i.e Session.
My modem doesnt work but I'll get that sorted ( I'm using my works Diginet line )
but would love to give this package to my Fiance's dad.
I installed Mepis for him and he was so impressed that his printer was installed and recognized, OpenOffice etc. Then came KPPP and it didnt pick up his modem ( thats what actually got me to install UBUNTU Warty to check how it does ) It didnt fare any better on my system as well.
Azz told me to go to Linmodems - I'll do that after this post.
Best off all I'm actually learning with UBUNTU and its fun. With Mepis/Fedora, Mandrake there is a lot of hand holding. ( wich is not nessecerely a bad thing ) but I like the feel of UBUNTU.
Anyway, UBUNTU dev's you are on the right track.
a sincere, thank you
I am forever yours!!
