Scratch all below! I'm no longer using Linux!
Yikes!!! I've tried Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.4...
Both have serious issues on my computer with usability.

I understand their new direction, but it looks like I'm sticking with rock solid 9.04 for quite a while.
When EOL is reached, I'll look at 10.4 again... MAYBE!]]> http://mobilesec.ms11.net/MyBlog/index.php?entry=entry100509-091007 2010-05-09T00:00:00Z 2010-05-09T00:00:00Z

The Compaq is pretty much maxed out as far as (affordable) upgrades.
1 gig of ram max... EVGA (PCI) NVIDIA 6200 video card... Lite-ON CD/DVD read write combo unit.
The 250 watt power supply has caused me to unplug the Floppy disc and use only one hard drive for safety's sake.

The EMachines is very expandable.
A 300 watt power supply will take the EVGA video card with no need to upgrade.
Errr...YET.?
2 gigs of ram max (with an AMD Sempron possessor)
The Lite-On CD/DVD can be transfered.

Made the switch!
Future $$ upgrades:
AGP video card (DONE! EVGA NVIDIA 6200).

Replace 512 card with a 2nd 1024 card for a total of 2 gigs (DONE! Can you say "Give me WARP 10 Scotty!" ).

550 watt power supply (DONE! Ultra LSP 550W).

Zoooooooom boot times... more up to date apps... better compiz...

As "stable" as 8.04 was/is... There are some annoying bugs that detract from the using pleasure.

Soooo... Jaunty is now my GOLD OP and Karmic (9.10) is the new toy.
This should be fun to get in early and watch this one mature.

I'm gonna wait to load Karmic until around alpha 6.]]> http://mobilesec.ms11.net/MyBlog/index.php?entry=entry090426-153346 2009-04-26T00:00:00Z 2009-04-26T00:00:00Z

Gonna try Jaunty Jackalope on the second hard drive for a while until it matures.

It's currently in Alpha/Beta transition.
I'm seeing 'nough to interest me into using it along side stable 8.04.]]> http://mobilesec.ms11.net/MyBlog/index.php?entry=entry090324-191759 2009-03-24T00:00:00Z 2009-03-24T00:00:00Z

I finally got around to my long term plan of switching hard drives around.
I wiped the original Seagate 60g clean and reinstalled Windows. (updated to SP3)


Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support (3yrs) is a BIG improvement from 7.04!
The Distros I've tried and found NOT to MY liking:
OpenSuse 11 Gnome - Fedora 9 Gnome - Xubuntu 8.04 Xfce - Kubuntu 8.04 KDE.
Linux Mint 5 gets a "Close but no cigar" rating. (Ubuntu 8.04 with the ANU package)

Ubuntu 8.04 is installed on the Maxtor 80g drive.]]> http://mobilesec.ms11.net/MyBlog/index.php?entry=entry080812-160855 2008-08-12T00:00:00Z 2008-08-12T00:00:00Z

It's Here!
I'm going to wait a few days after it's release to see "problems" on the Ubuntu forums.
I could easily keep 7.04 if too many bugs are found in the initial release of 7.10.
As far as I can tell... 7.04 works flawlessly.


UPDATE 4/27/2008
8.04 is out! Yep... Gonna wait awhile... again.]]> http://mobilesec.ms11.net/MyBlog/index.php?entry=entry071018-114108 2007-10-18T00:00:00Z 2007-10-18T00:00:00Z

I booted the live disk and waited, and waited, and waited....
Finally, something that looked similar to what they show on the Website appeared.
But... It NEVER ran correctly! I might try it again at a latter date...

Update...
Successfully INSTALLED on an older computer.
One small hitch though... NO access to the internet!
I'll work on that part later. For now however, I can load and test my extensions!
And... Learn how Linux works.
BIG UPDATE!
I've added more memory to my computer in preparation for Linux.
Two 512 cards... 1024... YEEHA! Wow, things sped up considerably.
Big Big Update!
Successfully loaded Ubuntu on my computer using WUBI
So far... So good. More later.
WUBI is great for in depth testing of Ubuntu... but causes problems with the actual performance of Windows.

The current status of project Ubuntu...
Ubuntu 7.04 installed on Mom's old Gateway (Goodby Windows 98SE!)
I've added a second Hard Drive to my Compaq (20GB) and loaded Ubuntu on it.
After using and "tweaking" Ubuntu... I could very easily use it ONLY!]]> http://mobilesec.ms11.net/MyBlog/index.php?entry=entry070608-090819 2007-06-08T00:00:00Z 2007-06-08T00:00:00Z

I "Think" the culprit is my use of chromedit2atwebdesigns.ms11.net
for the GUID in the old ChromEdit 2 extension for T-Bird.
Hmmmm... I'll have to keep my eye on the mail folder on my website.

*UPDATE
The index file permissions set to 000 seems to have tamed the problem.
Was it spammers?]]> http://mobilesec.ms11.net/MyBlog/index.php?entry=entry070405-193434 2007-04-05T00:00:00Z 2007-04-05T00:00:00Z
