  1. From me, I don't like Ubuntu, pretty primitive with it's configuration utilities suck; with SuSE, configuration is easy and you can actually dig in and fix things without the GUI. Ubuntu's utilities resets it back to whatever it sets up. This happened to my LCD monitor, it annoyed me so much that I ditched it.SuSE for me is the better way to go. There's no such thing as the best distro. It's a subjective matter.xboxrulz


  2. Wow, you're dragging me back to about 2004 when I last played Starcraft. It is the longest running strategy game I've ever played. Seriously, from 1997-8 till 2004. Now, I think C&C Generals is 2nd for being the longest. I prefer Starcraft over Warcraft. I don't like the story and I definitely do not want Blizzard to continue to develop it. The second reason is that the game is based on old styled fantasy stories. Starcraft suits me better because it's about space and the future, which I like.xboxrulz


  3. Well, every Torontonians know what happened at 16:03 this afternoon. An AIRBUS 340 skidded down runway 24 West (the most active runway) and fell into a ravine at the end of the runway. The plane was split at the back, where the washrooms would be. There were NO casualties and only 14 minor injuries. Most were treated on scene. The cause of this crash is still unknown. Transportation Canada is currently investigating the crash.

  5. Truely, this is the best way to get rid of the slowliness, uninstall Windows XP Home (if you have it) and install Professional or any small Linux distro. If that doesn't work, get a new computer for CAD$400.The computer is suppose to expand with you not you expand for your computer.xboxrulz


  6. Many ask, then why do most people run Windows? The answer lies on the market. Microsoft advertise their junk to the world and say that it's the best operating system in the world and tries to block out competition so that everyone is happy. Linux has not advertise before, it's a program that relies on word of mouth. I converted a Windows user to use SuSE Linux, he was happy and he said it was much easier and he felt safer than using Windows.I even bring my laptop running SuSE Linux 9.3 to school and my classmates couldn't even crack through the security system, they even try to run a toy virus to delete the kernel, but that didn't work.Why? It's because of the permission system that UNIX and Linux has. Windows' permission system is not good enough, because programs still can delete system files running as Limited User, normal user in Linux,So, why not switch some ask? It's because the market is still aimed at Microsoft and most people's mind-set is: if it ain't [completely] broke, don't fix it.Therefore, it's your decisions to move away from Windows. We as users control the market. See what happens when 50%+ runs on Linux, most developers will swap their software to Linux and more new users will be using it.Linux is as easy (or easier) than Windows. The problem is that Linux expert make Linux looks harder than it is. They use terms that so called normal or some of us call barely computer literate never heard before and they will be afraid.I was barely computer illiterate and I discovered Linux, I found it easy at first when using Linspire, I found this system interesting. Then, I moved on to Mandriva (formerly Mandrake), but end up switching to SuSE because it was buggy. I have stayed w/ SuSE Linux since 9.0 which was around March 2004. Now I use SuSE 9.3 and I'm very satisfied with the ease of use.So, now you have to really decide if Windows XP is really the best system. Also, remember that Linux can do what Windows can do or even more.Finally, please note that Linux is NOT UNIX, it's a clone of UNIX, but better. WINE is not an emulator, it's a Windows compatibility layer. FreeBSD is a version of UNIX.That's my research and IMO. For those who still argue that Windows is better, re-read this post and my post about 1 or 2 pages back.xboxrulz


  7. Hey admins!This is really irritating me. Whenever I scroll thru this forum, no matter what brower: Opera, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Konqueror. It lags badly.Trap17 doesn't have this problem. I think the cause of this is because your skin lags machines.System specs (simplified)Pentium 4 2.53 GHZ120 GB HDD80 GB HDD512 MB DDRSDRAM (PC2100)NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT (w/ AGP8x) 128MBSuSE Linux 9.3 w/ KDE 3.4xboxrulz
