finally manned up and tried linux

so far its kicking serious ass ... i got an old ass dell e310 that i was having to redo xp on every year or so cause it would slow down hella bad

now im runnin ubuntu 10.10 ... got all my music / pics / docs xferd over from my usb disc .... shit boots hella fast!

anyhow .... i know a lil bit about computers .... wouldnt reccomend checkin this out if youre a complete idiot but otherwise this os seems so straight forward its not even funny

just wanted to share.

 

all i saw in here was "hella"

 

and all i see with your location is a guy who lives in northern tijuana

 

I all i see in your location is 20" lifted f-150s with 40" rims.

Go and pound some four lokos with your homies.

 

biggest i see on f150s here is 35s .... yes you see plenty of super dutys doing the super high lift with rubberband tires ... but last month in havasu i saw just as many southern cal trucks doing the same thing

now can we get back to the content of this thread .... why come into the "technology" forum to talk some shit about peoples speech.

 

kay, chill brah.

 

dammit i knew i shoulda opened with that ... forgot that you guys HELLA say shit like "brah"

 

linux huh? didn't know they were still even making operating systems. pretty cool.

 

:sarcasm:

Lope your steez brah, just chill it son, assemble, ima bout to dip cuz i gots a grip of deuces.

 

yea this is the most popular one

http://www.ubuntu.com/

i only ran into one problem so far running some shit called "restricted extras" so the os would play mp3s and stuff of the like ... and thats cause my dumbass has never run a unix terminal before and didnt know that to hit "ok" if a window pops up i need to hit the tab key, then hit enter once its highligted.

 

i really liked ubuntu, but unless you like grub, dual booting blows . Only bad thing about "linux" based (they all are) os's, nothing is compatible with the stuff i use for work and school.

 

I'm just busting your balls man. so calers and nor calers love to hate eachother

 

im guessing dual boot is when you keep another os on the computer?

i wound up ditching windows entirely

 

its all good .... i did kinda go in way over the top with the tijuana comment right off the bat ... normally i work up to that one

 

so you are running something linux and didn't know what dual booting was?

 

linux is huge for web servers..chances are tacoma world is hosted on a linux box.

 

was pretty sure but figured id ask to be sure .... thats part of the point of this thread too .... if i can run this shit its worth taking a look at if youre sick of windows fucking up all the time

 

I haven't had ONE problem with windows 7. I also am quite a computer nerd. However, not nerdy enough to stick with linux. I have a ssd, and with all of w7's trim settings, i can boot into windows just as fast as ubuntu, linux, os x, etc...

 

I have ubuntu/linux on my dell mini, I think its great. No Virus's is really nice and its quick as hell.
