@Eric T It wasn't getting the drivers to work in Ubuntu was a problem, it's the fact that it was a bit of a chore to do you know. The driver utility in it never really worked good for me, so to install the video driver, you know I'd have to go to...

I'm inclined to agree the Ubuntu 9.10 is a bit of a disaster, but I'd hardly compare it to Windows Vista or ME. Most of the issues I've seen so far are related to the switch to devicekit for everything, and the deprecation of HAL. My battery life ...

Ubuntu 9.10... yeah.

I've been a long time Ubuntu and Linux user. Don't get me wrong, I try to use as many different operating systems as often as I can, but primarily on my machines, I've been using Ubuntu or some variant of Ubuntu for around 4 years now.

People ask me, why use Linux? I tell them, it's fun. To me, using Linux is somewhat of an ongoing never ending project to make your computer work best. And whats different of that rather than in Windows or Mac is that on Linux the job is on your shoulders to do s… Continue

I Just Don't Know What To Do About MP3 Players Anymore

I've been using MP3 players since before most people knew what they were. Like most people, I've always had a preference for the iPods, in fact that's what for the most part I've only been using from the first model up until the 5th generation with video.

Cleaning Ladies; A love-hate relationship.

As long as I can remember, my family has always had a cleaning lady come to our house. And I always hated it. The whole idea of some lady who you have no clue who she is other than "The cleaning lady" coming in scrubbing your toilet way early in the morning just always seemed weird to me. Who is she anyway? Where do you find these people? No one knows, they're just there. Does she have a name? Well, it IS technically Sandy, but it isn't, it's "The cleaning lady." Are there any cleaning men? No.… Continue
