Who all is still here?

[Death]

I saw the little bastard online today, I guess he was too shy to post.

[Slasher]

Probably


Nah, he was probably just browsing, keeping up-to-date

[The Beatles]

There's no need to call him a bastard.

[Slasher]

No, there wasn't but I don't think he meant it in a serious manner, more of a joke, though I would agree - it was a bit harsh

[Death]

Come on people give me a break.

Rudder would know that I wasn't insulting him, so it's fine imo.

[FireFrenzy]

I'm around, though I'm still adjusting from a Windows --> Ubuntu transition.

I was planning on dual booting, at least initially, but Windows won't start. Then again, is that really surprising?

[The Beatles]

Not really.

Glad to see you on the "Light Side" or whatever it's called at the moment.

Have you ever used vim? It's a pleasure to use once you pick it up.

[FireFrenzy]

Can't say I have, though I did indeed read your mention of it previously. Seems like a handy tool with a bit of depth.

Admittedly, one of the more daunting changes is becoming acquainted with different, albeit often similar, software.

[Devari]

Don't be afraid to use the multitude of great GUI software that there is available. You can become a command-line junkie like Beatles later.

[windhound]

actually it is rather surprising windows didnt boot right up, given it was in an acceptible state before you installed ubuntu
you didnt by chance use ubuntu's ntfs resizer? for some reason the only tool I've found to properly resized ntfs is mandrake's (mandriva's) tool.. 's odd

<3 Gedit

...and yeah, as Devari said, there's guis for about anything you'd want to change. ...though, word of warning, if its just a simple edit using a terminal and/or texteditor is generally safer. I've had some gui apps work fine, and others fail misribly. Ubuntu's forum is also a great source of knowledge if you get stuck

[The Beatles]

I'm a command-line junkie for quite pragmatic reasons. There's no need to become one, of course. But many find the tools very efficient, stable and powerful.

[Slasher]

Ubuntu rocks - good choice there - though there's a new version coming out this month.

Yeah, command line is nice if you know enough commands - I mainly know commands from setting up IRCds etc and now I try to do as much as I can via the terminal because it is much quicker.

As I'm typing this - I am actually booted into my WinXP MCE side because I had to do some college work in visual basic (sucky or what - you'd think they'd teach us something decent - the silly gimps)

Anyway, brb - booting into Ubuntu again

[Death]

I knew a guy who switched to Ubuntu, he hasn't been online for a while. Related? Probably.

[m0bzta]

i think Rudder got him self a life or a wife either or

[Slasher]

Possibly - however they could have just blocked you for being annoying and stopped going on sites you go on?

Haha, only kidding - they are probably having troubles with one of the very few unsupported wireless drivers. Either that or they use AOL and have a gimpy modem that won't work without a lot of tweaking in Ubuntu.

I must say though - it has come an awfully long way *Currently using 7.10 Beta* since I started using it - and that's just since I started using it on 6.06 Dapper Drake.

If you need a hand with anything make a topic for it in GD and ask away - that's what I did and all the Linux users on here helped me no end - I am greatful for that and I will do anything I can to help other new Linux users now.

EDIT: Oh yeah I'd recomend trying out compiz fusion - it's awesome - even though it's beta
