The version of Linux we're talking about here was originally called Ubuntu. You can order a free version of this from www.ubuntu.com - this version ships with the Gnome GUI instead of KDE.

The version I linked to before is called Kubuntu, which includes KDE instead of Gnome.

Hope that helps clear it up

You can see a bit of the differences between the 2 by looking at

In partciular, here's what Ubuntu (i.e. using Gnome) looks like... http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/sl....1+screenshots

And, here's what Kubuntu (i.e. using KDE) looks like...

To be honest, i have Power ISO but only ever used it to extract .bin files. And some .iso files. i will try using it!!

Loved the caveat "not really" - so, only occasionally, with "good friends"

I love these MAC geeks, they just don't get it, its not a computer its a fancy ornament that looks good but ultimately, like an ornament, does nothing other than that.

I mean - what does a MAC do anyway - why would you spend "HOW MUCH" on a MAC over a PC what are its advantages (other than it looks good?)

Tell me that please, until then this isn't even an argument, its a laugh at the rich kid who wasted his cash thread.

Anyone whose computer has a network card has a MAC. Some of us have Macs .

TheBlueRaja · 18-10-2006, 11:49

Yeah, but pronouncing it MAC really gets up a geeks nose and is a lot more fun.

Which is called 'trolling' and is against this site's T&Cs. Please stop it. Consider this a polite request.

TheBlueRaja · 18-10-2006, 13:22

It would have been more polite if it were not in bold...

Point taken though... I really should spell it Mac.

But that can the only thing you are accusing me of trolling for as the rest of my post is valid and still unanswered.

There are loads of reasons I love Mac. I love the way it connects to my Unis wireless network without set up. The way it connects to my wireless without set up (other than passwords obviously).

No spyware or virus checkers. Always keeps it speed, doesnt slow down or become annoying after a couple of years on a installation. Always feels nice and quick and sleek. Less errors and doesnt throw a hissy fit every now and then which requires massive amounts of menus and such. Less pop ups, stays out the way. Just works. Much more stress-free than using windows.

Rather good for video and graphic work

Kinda fun

Cool features and useful ones such as expose and spotlight (expose i cannot live without now!).

A few other things i have forgot at the moment. (Oh it looks cool too)
