Re: [H] Anybody using Windows Search 4.0

If you install it is it something you can uninstall... or disable it? Or does it become part of the OS ... something that you couldn't get apart with jack hammer and a decompiler. At 09:47 PM 6/4/2009, you wrote: I use it and it does slow down the computer a bit, but for me it's worth it beca

Re: [H] Anybody using Windows Search 4.0

I use it and it does slow down the computer a bit, but for me it's worth it because I use the "in-file" searching feature a lot. i.e. it will find the word AUDIT even inside PDF and PPT files. That is cruical for me. Google desktop works perhaps better, but I found it too "intrusive". -

A question for the HWG - Costco has the Dell XPS 435T with i7-920 2.66 GHz CPU, 6 GB of RAM for $1000 ~ $1200 US depending on bundled options/video card etc. Are they reliable? Are they more or less 'generic' as far as power supply, mobo layout, etc or are they so proprietary that only Dell ca

It keeps coming up in windows update. Is it worth installing... or just more trouble.

Yep, just sign up for an account and you're basically done. Yes, you will have to change your subscribed address over but that's not hard - just re-subscribe to the your mailing lists with the new address. You can also check your existing yahoo account from within gmail as long as the yahoo accou

Brian, I may happily/grudgingly do this:) Help to "how to start" would be a very big help. Sorry to be so pedestrian. Should I go GMail, then I have to tell Jim/Brian about the switch, and all the "email" related account business after the fact. Can do. Why is everyone so hot on GMail? Best,

Re: [H] LINUX?

I down loaded the UBUNTU 9.4 from the web. Then i made a cd of it. Then I tried installing from the CD. My take is the the download is corrupt. Therefore does not install. I tried the CD in a different computer and it is not recognized there. I will wait till the CD comes in the mail and try again

Re: [H] LINUX?

I'm not sure he meant "installed as a Windows Program" as much as he *maybe* should have said "installs into the Windows FileSystem as a Directory". No re-partitioning needed... This also allows a modified bootloader coming directly from the Windows Boot Menu. This is an odd concept for "old-time

I thought I would get my feet wet. So I tried installing UBUNTU on a spare computer as a windows program, which is one of the choices. It spent about a 1/2 hour installing. I did things on my main puter. When I checked back, there was no Ubuntu installed. ZIP! There is nothing on the hard drive.

Gary, Same base kernel, different patches and revisions are applied depending on the distro. Yes at the core, all distros honestly are the same, with changes to the way things are managed, different desktop setups, etc On Thu, Jun 04, 2009 at 08:29:27AM -0500, Gary Jackson wrote: > >

Correct me if I am wrong, but the kernel for Linux is the same on all the distros isn't it ? My point being is that the distros add some niceties and sort of give each one a flavor. I have used SLS, Slackware, Ubuntu, and some others. Since I kind of learned on Slackware that is that I
