    Re: Your very 1st OS

    Poll: Re: Aptitude vs Apt-Get

    Re: Best laptop for use with Ubuntu

    I dunno if it's the best, but I use an old IBM Thinkpad R30, and it works pretty well, all things considered. I've been able to dual boot Kubuntu Edgy and Ubuntu Dapper off it, and it worked...

    Re: Do you hack?

    I know how to hack, but I don't do anything outside my own network. And I just really dislike skiddies and those people who are like "YOU DO THIS OR I'LL HAX YOU!". Those people are just pains in the...

  12. Re: How do programmers benefit from open source?

    Well I've done a little PHP coding here and there. I'm most certainly not the best coder out there. And if someone else wants to use parts of my code for something and/or improve on it, then Open...

    Re: What do you do to spread Ubuntu?

    I usually tell my friends about it and about how great it is. However since most of them are computer illiterate, my mobile would be ringing off the hook

    I used to have a Panasonic, but it died on me for unknown reasons. I never got a chance to test it on Ubuntu. I'll probably get an iPod shuffle. They seem quite good.

    No. I shut down my computer at night except for when I'm downloading, virus scanning or other tasks. All it is really is a waste of energy in my opinion.

    Poll: Re: Why Linux isn't Mainstream
