Hi, I think my computer is a Toshiba Satellite Intel Centrino Duo T2300 @ 166 Ghz, 0.99 of RAM XP Media edition 2002 service pack 2
I can't figure out how much memory it has(is it listed up there^?), but it has a lot, at least a year ago it did. In a link in the archives, there was a comment that it was difficult to install Linux on a note book and basically not to bother, but to purchase one with it preinstalled (but it might work, is it was worth trying?), is this still the case? I was looking at the list of hardware (in the control panel?)and I see that it is probably beyond my ability to configure everything. I would like to learn. I do not know how to input commands. I Was reading about Gentoo: ..."The main advantage of this is that all software is highly optimised for the computer architecture it is built on." ... "The computer architecture", does that mean or include drivers for hardware? I would like a customized OS that ran very efficiently, and I like flashy desktops ;-) but I will use what ever I can. I was wondering if I could partition the HD to install 2 distros and XP? I am not sure what to do. I will read all the links and files. I do not have MS Word, just OO and I can only open the PDF files in the files of this group. I am not very disciplined at reading technical data, so I am grateful for about that ;-) About net neutrality, I called US Senator Ron Wyden http://wyden.senate.gov/ to offer my opinion about the importance of maintaining net neutrality and I think the woman said that Ron Wyden coined the term. It appears that there are some politicians who are trying to do the "right thing" and are standing up to AT$T, but they need to hear our opinions or they will not be able to. So I call them every 2 weeks or so. I also told them I think the government needs to implement separation of big business/$ and state as they did long ago with church and state to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest. It is at least as important that Government officials avoid the appearance of conflict of interest as lawyers working for private clients, isn't it? I can not think of any issue that this would not improve. Thanks, Shody To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed. Yahoo!
