Sold a laptop a while ago, came preinstalled with Endless OS, and the buyer said she and her kids (3yo) prefeers it over Windows. Simple GUI, great kids games preloaded.
After reading all the comments , I'm feeling very young:-D My first computer was a 80286 12/16MHz with 1MB RAM, 5/ floppy disk driver, no hard disk, and CGA "full color" monitor.
It came with a free floppy with CAT.EXE in it. After playing with it for a while, I put my QuickBASIC 4.5 floppy and started hacking (with/G parameter, of course, for preventing CGA snow).
This is my list of issues I had installing Karmik Koala from scratch:
- First time I ran the installer, kernel panic (keyboard leds blinking) - Totem said I didn't have the codecs to see DVD, but it didn't suggest me to install them nor gave me any info about which codec I needed. Automatic DVD reproduction shows a weird "not handle for URI" error. - Empathy crashes alot. It doesn't have MSN emoticons, can't sent file drag'n'dropping like Pidgin. - I hated that non-skinnable GDM from Fedora, now Ubuntu uses it:-P - I created a second admin account, I cannot log in with it, crashes with "Could not update ICEautority", and a bunch of other messages, showing only the wallpaper and the mouse pointer.
I've just reinstall 9.04, and I keep installing that version until 10.04 shows the light, hopping I'll be better. This version is the "Windows ME" of Ubuntu:-P
...they block messages if the words "download.php", "gallery.php", and others are within. It's blocked in they servers, no matter what client you are using: The message will return to you with a "Failed to send message..."
Does anybody know if this new toy supports OGG? I mean... in these times when patents and sues are a daily news, I don't wanna have problems with Fraunhofer...
I can search pr0n with any other pr0n word, and search.msn.com will show it's best bet. Even, you can add any word or letter to 'XFree86' (like 'XFree86 linux'), and search.msn will do a correct search (for 'XFree86 linux', first result is Xfree86 website).
They are desesperated, or they are really stupids:-D
Look this 'google' seach in msn search. You will notice that below 'google' as first entry, is MSN Search...
Another interesing thing: A frind of mine tell me that the word 'Linux' doesn't exists in Encarta 2003 DVD:-D When you search for 'linux', it shows 2 non-related topics
...so... they found a nice idea to repair their explotable errors: Make a worm that found a unpatched PC, and patches it, removing other bad worms installed on it.
...and after that, M$ puts a new cute name to it's worm, and patent it. "Microsoft Frog - Keep your pc bug-free!"
Do you had tried PureFTPD? I'm newbie on Linux, and it was very easy to install and configure.
This FTPD focus on security: Unlike other popular FTP servers, the number of root exploits found since the very first released version is zero. (taken from its website)
I'm not a machist, but as far as I can remember, when some directors decides to include a woman in a leading role in a new movie sequel, this movie sucks:-p (can you remember 'Karate Kid 3'?, just to say one)
I don't imagine using this thing for sending a very important document/work. It looks more like a cheapest way to do fast networking. It's LIGHT. A flying duck cross over the lightbeam and BANG!:) This appart from other problems like insecurity (I mean, I think it's easier to do a light-receiver than a radio-receiver... more people would be able to 'investigate'), etc.
Neighborhood network? perhaps. Just imagine a lanparty on my neighborhood, and every tv/vhs/dvd/thing-with-a-infrared-remote-control getting weird:D

Doesn't the D in HDR means 'Dynamic'? Isn't 'Dynamic HDR' wrong like 'LED diode'?

You and I (assuming you're American, probably)
Yeah, but in Perú (South America), we don`t care so much about it.
At least, MS realized they can't beat linux using his tradicional wrong way...

I am in no way affiliated with Editplus or the company behind it, just a happy user.
I was a editplus happy user, until I found SciTE :)
Works very similar to Editplus, it has per-language configuration, sintax coloring, auto-ident, and a lot more. And the best of all, it's open source.
I made a remake of that wallpaper. You can donwload it right here (or under the "Tamanos para bajarlo" title on the former link).
...just remove the cooler and disipator :)

And.. will you trust in a 'Microsoft Wallet'? :-D
Beware with those lazy sysadmins... perhaps their bosses begins to try to tell them something with their clothes :-D

"Daddy, daddy! Can you tell me how was before, when you had to stand up to turn the TV on?"
Some 'new technology' makes us useless... "If you don't use it, it rots".
And then, someone come in and says a human being wired to a computer to do everything a human being must do is a sci-fi tale...
