Linux fun

Keep using Linux.

I have found some more short cuts in terminal (Shell mode).

I just used Brasero to make a Music CD. It was one of the easiest that I have ever used.

I like Open Office. I like using Linux. There are a few things that I have not figured out how to fix yet. But as time goes by I will learn. There are plenty of things to learn. Shell scripts, programming, so many different languages. I like it because I got tired of DOS. I love the Shell Scripts. It is like Batch on steroids. So much fun learning scripts.

I just keep plugging along. One step at a time.

You know it takes a little longer for old folks to learn items. But I am learning.

Free college courses online. Learning things daily.

Ebooks on Linux. Read your favorite classics on the computer. I love it cause I can increase the font size so it is easy on my eyes. About three screens to one page of text. But it is fast.

The list of free software is extensive. There are many flavors of Linux and many programs for Linux. So if you are interested in TV you and download mythtv and if you have a computer with a TV card that Linux knows you now have a DVR. Sweet.

So is there fun with Linux? You bet.

Games is another fun stop at Linux. There still are some sites that will not allow you to run their sites They still require Windows with Internet Explorer. Those sites will not run on Firefox. Or under Linux. If these are Java programs then it is some kind of restrictions for non Internet Explorer Window users. Cause Java works on all computers. Most desktops no matter what Operating System they use are the same computer.

But Linux has plenty of programs that would cost a fortune to get the same programs in Windows. Why?

Mint Linux

I have been using Mint Linux for almost a month straight now. I like it but there are a few items that will not work with Linux. I would say for most 85% works.

I have had a few problems but I think that is my inexperience with Linux not the program.

Diving into Linux.

I got a new SATA hard drive. 500 Gig.

I pulled the old one out and installed the new one. No problem. The computer read it and told me that I had a 500 Gig hard drive installed.

Could not get mint linux 7 installed. Got Debian Lenny to format hard drive.

Will keep you up to date....

Hard Drive

I just got my hard drive. Gonna put it in my older computer hopefully today.


Gonna install Linux. I like Mint Linux and Debian Want to play with Mandriva, Fedora, FreeBSD, OpenSolris and OpenSuSE. I have played with several different version.

I have installed, RED HAT, OpenSuSE, Debian and Fedora. I like some of this version some of that version. I want what I call the Perfect version.

Some really cooe l stuff

I was surfing the Internet and came across some really cool places. Let's start with paper models.

Yes you heard me right. Download, Print and Assemble FREE Paper Models.

Just go to a good search engine like google or yahoo and search for free paper models.


If you are interested in the Watchman movie. Go to this site and read the 12 issue comic book first and then watch the movie.
