I might he wrong, but these forums also don't support tapatalk. A lot of people, myself included tend to do most of their forum browsing on smart phones and tablets. If pcper supported tapatalk...

Well, I think its a changing of the guards thing so to speak.

Unless I just missed them, nobody that replied to this thread registered later than 2005, and most of the people were from 2001-2003. ...

I finally got around to trying it once it was officially released. I'll probably be more interested in it once more games get ported over to Linux. I did pick up Crusader kings 2 though. I'm...

I've not done much research into it myself, but I've seen several reviews about the hoops you have to jump through to install Linux on the Samsung Chromebook.

It isn't as easy as just booting from...

I've been playing with Mint 13 and the latest version of Cinnamon. It's not bad, but I don't like how there isn't much customization in it. That isn't really Cinnamon's fault, but the way that GTK...

It's been a while and I've kept playing with different DEs.

I still can't stand Gnome 3. It works fine for some people. But not for me.

MATE may get better over time, but I think that...

I've been told by several of my friends that I'm probably the most Brand loyal person they know.

Computer Stuff:

CPU - AMD (I'm much more price/performance ratio kind of guy)
HDD - Western...

I am looking forward to the release of Mint 12. Mint is one of my favorite distributions, probably number two right behind OpenSUSE.

If anyone can make Gnome 3 somewhat usable it would probably...

I think a sound card is still important if your going to be gaming with your PC, or using it for serious multimedia.

However, for your typical internet surfer who might want to listen to an mp3...

I've not actually tried the fallback mode. I've heard mixed reviews of it. I've mainly tried Gnome 3 via a Fedora live disk. I'm not sure if one can try fallback mode with it or not.

I'll have to play around with that later this week when I get back home, I'm on the road for business now.

Still seems like a step backwards from Gnome 2 but certainly one I'm will to do.

In Xfce I would go into the Settings manager and try to use the Appearance functionality to change things to my liking. I guess the biggest thing I find Xfce to be lacking in that regard (or maybe I...

I think most of you probably already know what I'm going to talk about just from the title, especially other GNOME guys.

I've been a GNOME user pretty much exclusively since I've used Linux...

Life got a little busy and it took me a while longer to get around to it then I thought it would. But saikee's post above is correct. It isn't really a whole lot different then configuring a...

I loved SWG, it was also my first MMORPG. I didn't mind the CU so much, I didn't want it but it wasn't that bad. The NGE was awful but I kept playing for the community in the game.

That being...

After I figure out exactly which unit I want, and how large of a HDD I'm going to need I'm going to bite the bullet so to speak.

Thanks for the info Saikee. I thought it would be a similar...

I'm not looking at any specific unit right now per say. Just in general. I've got zero personal experience with a NAS (I do software for a living, never really touch hardware aside from building a...

For the longest time, I never needed to access my files on more then one PC. But over the years with more and more tech devices entering the house the need to access the same files on more then...

I agree that D-Link and Linksys are better, but I've never really had any major problems with Belkin.

98SW? :eek:

I haven't seen that since probably 2002ish.


Out of curiosity what do you do with this computer? You might want to think about putting a Linux distro on there instead of 98SE.

By and large I have to agree with the OP. I don't think there is any one single reason, but a whole bunch of small reasons adding together.

I grew up as a kid on console gaming, but when I got to...

I can't say anything specific about the PC version, I played it on the 360. The first one was way way repetitive I agree. The second one however was much more fun for me, the story seemed better...

Ubuntu has been using ext4 before version 10.04. I use ext4 for my partition that I mount as /. My /home partition is ext3 though because I've kept it around for a long time to preserve my...

I've noticed a little bit of wonkyness when I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. Not from the OS itself per say but from a few specific programs. Especially VLC.

I eventually got everything worked...
