I still have 2 spindles of CDs and DVDs with older copies of various ones on them. When I found Ubuntu, I thought of how nice it was to be able to get Debian with a bit extra.

I've tried a lot more distros since I found Ubuntu, but its been the main one and has resided on my hard drive as the king of my computer. In fact, I believe that this computer is running an upgrade from 6.10, which was upgraded to 7.04,which was upgraded to 7.10, and then 8.04.

No, wait!. I had problems with it when using EXT3. I don't know what it was, but reinstalling on ReiserFS fixed the problem and its been chugging along fine for well over a year like that.

I've become lazy with Ubuntu because mostly everything that I try "just works". I've even installed many of the Windows games that my son likes and they play well under WINE. Especially, Operation Flashpoint - Cold War Crisis. That one runs better on WINE than in Windows XP. ]]> vectordrake http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=1923 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=1381 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:30:13 GMT I'm going to try and install Arch Linux again. I really enjoyed having it on my computer before. It was snappy and relatively easy to install. I had first installed it with Fluxbox and quickly moved to XFCE, which I had for a short while. After that, I gave the KDEmod a try and I really liked what that could do. But, I am really liking Gnome lately for the reasons that I liked KDE before, so I might try to get a Gnome system running. Perhaps, I will see how functional I can make it, as far as "ease of use" for others, who are more GUI oriented. We'll see what a combination of pacman and compiling from source will achieve. ]]> vectordrake http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=1381 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=520 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 18:56:42 GMT I haven't entered anything here in ages, but i thought that, since I just finished writing an article reviewing PCLinuxOS, I thought it relevant to the venue. It will be available tomorrrow in the morning. I've published a bit too much for one weekend, so I'm giving the feed readers a bit of catch up time. It's to be found at: http://coreythompson.com/2007/03/05/mini-review-pclinuxos-2007-test-release-2/ The URL will probably work now, as its published, but not available until tomorrow. ]]> vectordrake http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=520 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=111 Sun, 15 Jan 2006 22:24:14 GMT There is a possibility that I will be either blogging here about certain things, not blogging here at all, or mirroring my existing blog.

I did want to say, "Hi." to LQ members, frest, and seasoned. Perhaps this is the beginning (o continuation) of something big. Regardless, I'll be blogging, so get used to "Another Opinion Among Many..." ]]> vectordrake http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog.php?b=111
