Yaris was a good choice IMO...I was thinking of buying one for my work commute in Germany.
Horses for courses as they say... and Linux is just as good a runner at the moment as W10, if not better. I haven't moved on since W7 and rarely use that now.
Everything depends on what you are using your machine for. Browsing, e-mail and a few office tasks then linux and apps are adequate and free....just as long as the distro supports your hardware.
I am not a hardcore OS super duper expert. I am a niche market rt software pro who specialised in assembler until machines bacame powerful enough to.run high level languages fast enough to be useable in my area of expertise.
Butters posts only really make sense to other experts...just saying ... Harry
Sounds about right, mate. Thanks.Originally Posted by Troy
More than anything i'm just interested to see how it goes.
W7 is fine and I'm happy with it but that's no reason not to explore.
by the way, so far we're very pleased with the Yaris. It handles remarkably well and is quite pokey for a little car.
Cheers.
Butters mentioned getting a book but he didn't recommend one. If you are going to use Ubuntu then try;
Debian.1000.plus.commands
The official Ubuntu Book
Both are easily found in pdf format on the web. They also give you many links to other useful info, such as which HW is compatible.
I also agree with butters that you should learn to use terminals and start your applications from the command line. It won't take long and you can set up your profile and aliases to customise as you fancy.
don't bother, he probably gave up already, too complicatedOriginally Posted by Troy
Very helpful as always buTTers. Thank you.Originally Posted by Dragonfly
so did you give a try and did the full installation ? are you using it now ?
of course not, thanks for playing
buTTers, moved, yea touched, as I am by your concern for my welfare and future I can't find it in my heart to understand why you should be so concerned.
As and when I feel like it I may well investigate the Linux issue but rest assured it will be when I want to and not when you think I should.
So, in the meantime, whilst thanking you again for your concern, I respectfully ask that you fuck off unless you have,for the first time ever, something helpful to contribute.
Cheers.

yeah - but ifconfig wlan0 up obviously does not work on your win XP installationOriginally Posted by Dragonfly
but you could try this on your win CLI and see if it will give us satisfaction
wmic path win32_networkadapter where index=* call disable
crackass, I am not concerned by you but by people like you, all the same, Linux wannabies who won't do the work, too lazy but just following fashion trends. That's what I have been saying from the beginning, nothing personal, old dude. So you being hysterical over all this proved me right, once more.Originally Posted by crackerjack101
Between you and me, we all know you never will. You have no good reason to follow through. If you were really interested or had a real purpose, you would have done so, not open a vague Linux thread on TD and throwing shit when I called you on it.Originally Posted by crackerjack101
Thanks again for proving my point. Enjoy your Win7 while it lasts
Linux is no big deal.
If all you want is email, browsing and basic WP, then Mint or Puppy will run on most things.
It's so simple an idiot could use it.
Why do you think Buttplug thinks he's an expert?
Harry is a pro MS fan, probably was fighting against Linux when we had the big OS war of Linux vs Windows in the desktop and server space back on 1997
I find this hard to believe, Microsoft boyOriginally Posted by harrybarracuda
I think Butters has proven his level of intelligence, repeatedly.Originally Posted by harrybarracuda

Tcsh! Tcsh! Butters, under alias, might bash your shell.
Harry won't get that one, he prefers humor with penis, cocks and jizzOriginally Posted by Troy
and the usual idiotic replies by his fans like that admin fraud CSF, and that 13yr old pothead, snob
Could you show us something you've done...of course not. All talk, no walk. You're nothing but a fraud Butters.Originally Posted by Dragonfly
The really funny thing is you try to come across as a knowledgeable person, but you've never demonstrated anything other than opinions.
It's always nice to hear from our little bitchy 14 year old hacker ... keep it up, butters!
