A couple years ago, the Automatic Updater on my daughter's XP machine stopped working. Attempting to update manually only gave an error number, so, I contacted Microsoft, and guess what? I had to open the Run dialog box, and type a lengthy string of commands and parameters to fix the problem! Imagine that! So for all of you who think Windows is 'CLI-free', guess again!

Might not seem like much to a lot of you, but with the help of another LQ member, I found the tutorial on GParted and successfully installed Puppy to my HDD on the first try. I must say it was much easier than I expected... Hell, I actually had fun! And the best part is that now I have a system that blazes compared to (K)Ubuntu, and takes up much less drive space.

I just might get the gist of Linux, after all! :D

Cheers, All!
