Still I think Linux is technically superior and people should try it, but and open source Windows would improve a lot of things.
But its still alpha and BSoD more then window$.
BTW still posting from ReactOs.

Does my 'Public Profile' look customized, or is it just the default? I just customized it, colors & all, and I think it looks good.

And I'm not too far into python yet...
I'm only beginning.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Non-Pro...for_Python_2.0
is what I'm following.

I am following the Non-programmers version because I honestly have never done much. BASH is about as much as I've done. I picked python as my first language because it's an OOP, it's claimed as being easy, and there's simple guides on the internet for more advanced users who know another language that aren't very long; so I think if I pick out python to learn with i'll set myself up for programming better. Plus, I think python ties in with Linux well (or so I've heard).

I'm preparing to install SalixOS on my laptop just because. I guess I'm bored too. Although I have to admit that fluxbox has been quite entertaining for the last few hours. I've been playing with it in Slack and installed it in Ubuntu last night........it makes the old Ubuntu dell perform quite nicely. Even youtube plays without going spastic if run from fluxbox!

I'm going to try the new BackTrack 4; I always have liked this distro. I may install it to my HDD and customize the living crap out of it. It has such good programs, all preconfigured, beautiful themes and generally a really nice setup. IDK though, I will try out the live CD first.

Okay, I changed it. I was worried I might offend someone.

I'm just tired of saying the same darn thing over n' over again.

Purdy colors...looks neat! And some good advice, too.

Oh..and here's my complete masterpiece (with cursor to prove it's not GIMP'd):

And she has eyebrows in this version too... They're also red?!
