InstallFRENZY now subdued Options

[kamicota]

After several days of Arch and Chakra journeys we now focus on setting up that other OS on all three deskies with the programs needed for the creative outlets

I've thoroughly enjoyed the experiences with Arch and Chakra and truly appreciate the invaluable assistance from Josh .

Josh hope I didn't overload you too much

AS much as we have Ultimate 2.4 on the 4600 and Mint 8 now on the Quad - the IBM still rests uneasily in the psychie for some reason

Hopeful the FRENZY of these last few days has not put too much of a strain on ATL

The obsessive/Scorpio is more on an even keel right now having satisfied several urges so we will see where the future now leads us

Cheers for Years

That's JUST what the DOC ordered - although found on my trip to Minneapolis that - Murphy's Stout was more to my liking and can NOT find it in Canada yet at least where we live

BUT YOU would have to do that when the night and more computer works is starting again and when I rumble and wrestle with all this one or more ort more of those always sooth the frayed nerves

It was no problem at all. Although, I am sorry I could not get it working for you. Maybe next time.

Thanks

There you go AGAIN with that word --->>>SORRY - all that's needed is OOPS!!! - but it was me that gave up - nano frightened the heck out of me - it was the same as the Arch install and could not find how to remove part of Windows entry and install yours.

This does not say that Arch is in the trash can even though I have an aversion against command line installs etc

So we will see how we FLY between now and Jan 1st

Just to let you know nano is not just for Arch. Nano is a very powerful simple text editor that comes with most all distributions. In my opinion. it is actually one of the easiest cli text editors to use. I would suggest opening up nano by itself(blank doc) and playing around with it since you more than likely will run across it in time.

Nano is very useful if you ever have to edit a file without X running to troubleshoot something or just want to edit something while in a console.

Here is a nice tutorial for nano to get you started: http://www.debianadmin.com/nano-editor-tutorials.html

Thanks

Shoot Josh
though my InstallFRENZY had dies down but that is at least 3 Livecd's I have tried and TWO installs of Linux and one of XP

So will look at Nano if I ever come down to earth

What a JOURNEY with the IBM - no LOVE lost between it and Vector 6 Classic/PCLos LXDE/Knoppix LXDE/Ultimate 2.4 and Mint 8

So back to the origional MDV Gnome 2010 - YET still think is the IBM - Horses for Courses

Murphy's Stout was more to my liking and can NOT find it in Canada yet at least where we live

Easy: just tell the good folks @Silver Fox Neighborhood Pub (or your nearest store) that they can get it via Heineken Canada Inc.

Urmas
HOW in the HECK did YOU KNOW about the Silver Fox Pub

Hope it was from personal experience and NOT Googling

But that gives and idea for the Government Liquor Store though
