Hmm... let me know how it goes, if there are any new features and such ...

I used to use Mandrake all the time, but recently Iv been getting along real well with Redhat ...


This is to anyone who bothers reading anything in the Linux Forum :
Seriously, if your not a "gamer" then there is nothing you can do in Windows that cannot be done in Linux. Most of the time it can be done in Linux better, you don't have to worry about crashes, hacks, viruses and most of the time programs run clean. I reccomend Linux to all those who use their computer for non-gaming activities. As to be fair Linux is not a gamers box, main stream gaming programmers just don't program for linux unfortunately. But for everything else Linux is defiantly the way to go.

Got a mouse issue...................

Now I gotta get around with the keyboard til I can figure out how to fix it............Crap!

 

[SPEEDO]

I wonder where they got Dolphin from a Penguin program.......LOL

 

[DJ Specs]

So how is it so far SPEEDO?

 

[SPEEDO]

Well I got the mouse working by reloading and selecting the scroll mouse. I may do a fresh install because I did an upgrade and I guess it keeps the old version. Otherwise it looks pretty good.

 

[TheTechIsIn]
