nice collection

you are either obsessed, or obsessed!

lol

Isnt it Deso the one obssessed with Linux

Links!! How many links! My God!!!!!!

uhhh .... why so many ? I look at that and say: "holy %$#^, that looks confusing !" Like everything about linux just thrown up in one post Personally, I probably will not click most of them. I clicked a few and found them only marginally useful, and only if I knew exactly what I wanted.

Why not just list main sites offering say linux OSs or other components from which you can navigate to more useful links, not a huge mess of somewhat unrelated and marginally useful links.

That's just my input (Don't take it too badly, all I'm saying is that it looks awefully messy and marginally useful) (Maybe it's just me ?)

I guess it might be a good resource if you had time to dig through and find what you need, you really need to know what you need !

Thanks, I can really use thoughs!!! I have Linux installed on my old computer, and thanks to you I might put it on my new one too ! I might keep Windows around though for some stuff, that way I can use wich ever one I want. If I can get it working, last time i tried it screwed up the partition Windows was on too . I Think the CD was courupted... And you know that HP dosn't give you backup CDs with their computers? Took me almost two weeks to get my new computer back up... glad I kept my old one

Next time I might as well just put together my own like Tim and Mishacbob




The software is in the most part organized, and I think thats really what you need because (to me) Linux is pretty easy to get the hang of.... just maybe work at the command lines and get to know where you can get software from...

Of course, agree TeXMeX
Just clicked the topic, and how many links in ONE post!
Was my first reaction, that's all and i didn't click on any yeah, will search when i need...
but how many links in ONE post!!!!!!
