general population doesn't know what they use. Internet explorer is
the big blue e or simply the internet. I have heard windows hp office
xp I dunno windows and no its a compaq to describe the os. My wife
doesn't care as long as
Yeah, I helped an ex of mine buy a laptop and she kept asking if she
really needed Windows and saying that she wanted to delete it. Not
because she didn't like it, she didn't realize it was the OS.. or
really even understand what that meant.

Honestly i liked vista, i ran the beta and it was weird but there were
a number of thigns, the weird started to fade away as MS released
backwards compatability patches and software developers wrote their

SSD's have a limited lifetime, after writing so many times to one spot, it
will wear out. It's a big number but it is finite.
Thus the firmware, makes sure it spreads around the writes on the SSD.

Totally agree with Eric here.
If you want to learn Redhat (now commonly called RedHat Enterprise
Linux or RHEL) do CentOS.
We use it here at the office (we abandoned Fedora because its too
bleeding edge) and haven't looked back.
CentOS: All the convenience of RHEL and none of the pain.

They can't lay off the Vista people. Who would repackage Vista into
Windows 7 and call it new and different?
Windows 7 is to Vista as Obama is to Bush. (No different)

I have bugs in for 2 things:
my DVD drive doesn't work - so I am living w/o it
If you're finding a lot of distros freezing up, you may be looking at a
memory issue in your computer.
Be sure it's the distro and not actually a hardware issue.

WIth ubuntu 8.10, I've had a problem with Pidgin sound and pulse-audio
creating a huge memory leak. But settinng pidgin to use Alsa solves that.
That's about the only problem I've had with any of my hardware. Xubuntu is
a stripped-down implementation, and that may be part of your issue.
