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 people comment. 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 adult. 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.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
