  1. Make it your primary desktop on Where Should One Go for Unix/Linux Training? · · Score: 1

    I tried to learn linux from numerous books and online material and never really got anywhere. What changed this was when I bought myself a second PC and installed Linux on it. From then on I forced myself to use the Linux box for EVERYTHING - writing documents, paying bills, balancing accounts, browsing the net - and only reverted to the windows box when I was hoplessly lost. After only a month, linux felt so natural to me. I then blew away the other windows box and made it my Linux server. I did all administration of the server using the command line only. Within about 4 months I felt like a Linux pro... obviously I wasn't but the confidence definately helps.

    Innovation doesn't come from big business anymore, it comes SOLELY from the little guy

    You saying ALL innovation is coming from the little guy? Dam that little guy must be good.

    Big business spend an incredible amount of wealth on R&D campuses around the world. If they weren't delivering, you can be rest assured they would be downsived in an instant.

    So is there some freely available update system that does the same thing as Microsoft's Windows update?

    Try http://www.autopatcher.com/. It seems to have been created to get around this very problem (WGA). I've used the Win2000 patch and it works great.
