Linux Magazine

Posted 04-30-2009 at 04:47 PM by uinseann

While in the supermarket today I noticed "Linux format Magazine". The dvd that came with it had pclinuxos, and mepis on it. I nearly bought it, but I don't really like pclinuxos as I am not a fan of mandriva, which pclinuxos is derived. I have used mepis and it's good in my book! But I'm afraid £6.50 for a magazine is a bit steep in my opinion!

The other mag they had was "Linux Magazine" (original I suppose?). That came with just one operating system which was...

Been ill

Posted 04-28-2009 at 05:13 PM by uinseann

I've been through the wars just lately! I was stupid! I strained myself putting my motorbike on the centre stand. Because I am waiting for a handle from Japan (fastens to the frame at the side above the chainguard), I put my left hand on the handlebars, and because the handle isn't there I twisted a bit further and used the grab rail, stupid, stupid, stupid!!

I caused damage to muscles in my back and strained my groin. Agony! I couldn't walk, I was in pain when I sat or laid down....

computer mag

Posted 04-17-2009 at 10:12 AM by uinseann

I once picked up a Windows based computer mag up. Yes it's true it was me! the magazine was on the top shelf with THOSE other mags you get, where the people buying them have macs on with their collar turned up. The reason I bought the mag was the fact that I noticed it had some Linux distro's on the DVD (I hate that word ...distro's). I had noticed it said Linux Mint was one of them.

I couldn't give a margaret Thatcher about the Windows stuff, but I have limited bandwidth so it saved...

The end of Windows as we know it. Maybe the end of Linux too! It's vey early days yet, but Microsofts latest project "Midori" will change computing from what we are used to. Their idea is to make an operating system thats not tied into hardware on our machines, but have it installed on servers instead! They reckon they won't be able to cope with technology and also dependencies, so this is the best way to go. People are surfing while out and about now on their mobiles etc.Like I said it's...

Couldn't log in to my isp home page

Posted 04-11-2009 at 02:49 PM by uinseann

A while back, when trying to log in to my isp home page to look at my email (I try not to download it unless it's important .... which I'm not! so there you go!), I couldn't get in! It let me enter my password etc, then directed me to another page which informed me that my browser was not supported and I needed Internet Explorer, or Firefox! Well, I was using Firefox so what did they mean? I noticed they never mentioned Opera?

I asked my wife, who uses Firefox with that other operating...
