... programming (I didn't) to compile the programs from the source code that is available online (and that I could download using a different pc). This also meant that I couldn't get the CoDecs needed to play music or watch films and so, as that was what I mainly used the computer for, I had to go back to windows. The operating system does come with a lot of impressive programs pre installed. These are much better than the windows equivalents and allows you to edit photos and .wav audio tracks with the GIMP and Audacity ...more

I recently set up my computer to dual boot between XP and Ubuntu. I had used Windows since I had a computer and was interested to see what the fuss from the linux brigade was about. I was initially confused (as I think most windows users are) by the seemingly odd way of doing things but it wasn't long before I was getting used to it. One thing that was a problem was that I don't (or didn't then) have an internet connection.

If there’s one name that evokes more under-the-collar heat in the computing world than anything else it’s Microsoft. Seemingly, Bill Gates & Co won’t be satisfied without world domination, and if I read it right, the next Windows version coming down the pipe, i.e. Vista may well be a kiss of death for hobbyists like me who build their own PCs, or maybe just evolve their PCs with a stage-by-stage upgrade. The reason for this fear is that the registration process for the new system is thought to allow for only three ‘major’* changes to the system hardware before requiring a new copy of the operating system to be bought. *Microsoft’s definition of ...
