It's your Internet connection that's inadequate.
Linux from a livedisk works perfectly. Windows executes as expected. But this Internet born linux in firefox thingie just doesn't cut it. Sad though. Good idea.
* Suppose it could be my network connection after all. 😕
Just had a look, and wasn`t overly impressed. Maybe it`s just one of those things that one gets used to. Didn`t like the graphics at all. They all looked like 8bit
I assume the desktop can be themed though. I know i wont be rushing out to download the stuff. Horses for courses etc etc. Think i`ll stay with the devil i know 😉
Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveI once was about to install Linux and I realized I had to make a partition or delete all my stuff. To hell with it, XP works fine with me, I'm not about to go on a backup/reinstall rampage and I seriously don't want to make a partition of my disk.
Well it's there for anyone to try if they would like to.
I thought you,of all people, would've been in favour of people using Linux. 😲
Instead of putting them off with cryptic replies.

Originally posted by PalynkaEh? Linux is far safer than Windows. Creating a partition is a doddle as Linux recognizes your Windows partition...

Delete all your stuff? Backup/reinstall rampage? Where do you get your ideas from? 😕
I'm not that thrilled with Linspire so far because I can no longer play my games on this computer (such as Sims2 and any other game I own). The Linspire sim games are rather pathetic, at least the transportation one. I already used firefox and open office, so that wasn't a change. We'll see in the long run, though.

Originally posted by reader1107Uhm, yea. You'll probably not be able to run your Windows games in linux. Not unless you use Wine, but then I'm not sure it will work with Direct X games or if it simply emulates the Win32 library.

Sorry to hear you're so dissapointed. You gotta admit that the spellchecker is kinda neat? Of course, being a teacher you probably don't need that. He... 😳
