Obsessed?? Maybe a little.


This a Gateway computer a acquired Dual core 1.73GHz 2G ram I have installed linux Mint on this machine as well, but I think I will partition the Hard drive with openSUSE 11.4.  I do still have the Dell Latitude d505 now with Zorin 4 instead of Mint.  For me right now the easy of setting up everything I need for my use an Ubuntu version works. The wireless on the Dell has been giving me some fits.  I had it working with Mint then I reinstalled it and could get it working again.  Strange, but it works with Zorin.  The kids use it to watch movies, play games on the internet, and I think I will be setting it up for there mp3  players.

I need to read and learn some more about Linux.  Maybe get a book on Linux and take some courses at the local community college.

If I could figure out how to use my Ipod Touch with the Linux machines, I think I would be able to become windows free.  I will be trying to learn how to use Wine, I am a really big podcast listener. 

Paula, thinks I am crazy!  I have 3 Windows Desktops (1 is a HTPC, we have no Cable TV), 1 Apple, and 4 Laptops.  Oh and a work computer.

  I think I may have a problem, maybe a little one, but I am having fun learning Linux. 
Just wait until I start a Home Network.

Hey bro- I think the next time we talk, you are going to have to give your little sis a tutorial on Linux- I have no idea what you are talking about, but it is interesting to read...... I am so technology challenged sometimes ; )
