Holy shit..Web pages and just about everything are loading faster!!..now the trick is finding a good place to get appz!

whats it like compared to windows? I've never seen a computer running linux... How is the computer interface and loading of apps? is it alot like DOS?

[DarkWolf]

If you're in console mode, yes, it looks kinda like DOS. But if you're in a windowing system, like X, it looks pretty much like any Windows machine by default ... but there are plenty of window managers out there (like Enlightenment) that make the "Windows" look either less obvious, or non-existant.

Yeah...right now I am starting out by running Lindows 3.0.5. thought it would be helpful to get used to the differences with some familiar first. All i know is webpages are loading smoking fast and it has a really neat feel to it........Any possible way of me running enlightenment on lindows?..might be a dumb question but I am just now starting out on Linux!:D

Heh, that I dunno. I'd think you could, but AbecX probably could tell ya for sure. :)

Never realized you lived in Allen... I live in Van Alstyne. If you did'nt know its north up 75 20 miles before you hit sherman

[DarkWolf]

Right on, I used to have a friend that lived up in Sherman, that I'd visit every now and then. Don't think I've ever stopped in Van Alstyne before though :)

haha:D There is only one exit for us...at our main attraction in town which is our all in one Cheveron, Burger King,Dickies BBQ,krispy cream,and subway!;) I hate having to drive 20 minutes to the Best Buy in Mckinney when i was only a minute away from one when i lived in Grapevine!!

[DarkWolf]

Yeah, that sucks. I visit my aunt & uncle out in Heath, and the closest Best Buy, or ... well, anything, is in Mesquite. 20 minutes down I30 or 80. Sucks :(

Yes lindows is like any other linux OS, you can get the same shit to run on it as you could redhat.

Maddhatter, here is a screenshot I did a while back to prove to Tiny Tim that sites load up just fine in my mozilla based linux browser.
