Okay, for those of you who have actually stayed on with me from the beginning you know of my issues with Linux and my laptop. To recap – I had a crappy Acer with an equally crappy 4318 wifi card – this was a problem since every distro I tried would fail miserably with the […]

I remember not so long ago having a love hate relationship with my Ubuntu laptop distro. I loved the comely shades of brown and the cool sizzling earthy music of its start up, but it was nothing but smoke in mirrors because my crappy Acer decided to have an equally crappy wifi connection. And […]

There is a time in everyone’s journey ( through this thing called Life aka Linux) that you have to ask yourself the question, “ Is this really worth it or am I simply making the motions?” Well I have decided that the motions have gotten the better of me, and I need to re-trace my […]

Well it has been a rough semester, but I am still alive even though my blog appears to be dead and I want to pick it up where I left off! While trying to convince Jonathan to buy me a MAC-( since I can have boot camp now!) I will be playing around with various […]

Whenever I have had an issue with Linux on my laptop the same suggestion was tossed at me over and over “why not try a live CD?” Well at the time the penguins and I were not ready to move away from our hard install. We were on a mission, a mission that failed miserably, […]

I think I am a patient woman. I think I am a reasonable woman. But everyone, including the penguins, has their limits. Suse, for as wonderful as the beginner package was, is useless to me. The second distro in a row that will not utilize my wifi! I went to the links that so many […]

Okay, so I have switched from Ubuntu to Suse. Why you might ask? Well because a laptop that is not connected is a useless paper weight in my world. How can I possibly hold my forever waning attention if I don’t have a world of sparkly distractions at the disposal of my finger tips? No […]

So another problem I am having with my new operating system is with the admin/ office side. In other words…Open Office org sucks so far! Every time I am typing a document, my curser skips a line and goes to wherever it wants to…very very annoying. Plus, my spell check doesn’t work. Trust me, I […]

Okay, so far I have a somewhat working laptop with Ubuntu as the operating system. I say somewhat because I still can’t open certain attachments, videos or music clip. While I was very frustrated with this, Jonathan informed me it was normal and that I just had to install Flash player. What Jon and his […]
