Mine’s an Ubuntu …


Wow! Think I managed to make a friend, there!

Remember me saying about a friend’s PC going down? And installing Ubuntu on it, to get it working again, for him?

Well, I just looked in, to help Denny and Faye set up their ’net connection; which was almost as easy as setting up mine, here. Although I’m fairly convinced I made a fairly educated guess.

But guess, none the less; still, I think Denny’s happy!

While I’m here, though, I’ll encourage those of us who want to switch from Windoze, and who can’t — as yet — afford a Mac, to seriously consider installing Ubuntu. It is free, after all …

You might also want to look at other bits of open source software, too. Don’t worry about platform, either. There’s plenty for Mac OS X, Windoze, and Ubuntu Linux

I do know I always think of an old Harry Enfield sketch, whenever I see Ubuntu in action …

Post a Comment

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
