This Is Not Vista ! But You Will Not Believe It !

@bigbrovar

ah!. i see. was thinking of the other big brovar. cool.

well im glad we have all the OS flame sorted then.


meanwhile it seems ralvie has taken a liking to you for tickling his ego.

a lawyer eh? what firm are you with? Goldberg, Lyer and Shyster?   

don't get me wrong, im not a trained programmer, just something i picked up as a hobby. by day im a mild mannered financial analyst,  by night im a caped uber tinkerer.

the best guide is to start small. i began with basic way back then, and move off. ebooks eh? will riffle through my virtual drawers and send you some.

Open standard institute? must be hush-hush. never heard of it.

becareful, The Man is listening and watching.

hey Mr,  i've seen your post n maybe u can help me with what have been delaying me from switching completely to ubuntu,

how do i connect my nokia 5300 phone to it. i want to use the modem for dial-up, and the pcsuite wont install.

also i have this popular bluetooth device that i plug into my win vista but wont work with my ubuntu cause' the drivers wont install,


is there anyway i can get to resolve these exceptions,   

This life is very hard oo can't a man express his feelings any longer its so funny and Neoteny we use to know you back then in the phone section as symbian evangelist but this your sudden brouhaha over microsoft windows na wah o na which time you turn windows fanboy. Because when nairaland use to be nairaland i hardly see your post in the computer section xcept the phone section. Make una guru thread softly oooo and make fight no dey again.
Brovar. wetin dey happen now?

Bros wey get Nokia phone open terminal or use either kppp or gnomeppp whichever and cable modem is always nice and straight forward in linux - and follow the tutorials on the ubuntunigeria site and am sure you'll be up and browsing in no time. cheers

u most be talking about wubi ,  right ,  it and the ability to read and right on ntfs came preinstalled in gutsy only that the wubi in gutsy was just experimental ,  however i would  still prefer a hard drive installation any day i can't trust windows with my ubuntu files ,  but i have to say its another good and friendly way to install ubuntu esp. for people new to linux,
NB i think u will do every well in Linux,  and just give it a try,problem arise , but its nothing a good cup of coffee,a face towel, and a time with google wont solve ,  look forward to hearing from u on how it went ,

Did u see my mac mod ?

how close was it ? http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-124458.0.html

well i can't say that am surprised ,  redhat is actually ment to be used as a server and not a desktop ,  hence the problem! but if u are really crazy about redhat then u should try fedora ,  which is not just ment for the desktop but is actually as free as air ,  and its desktop friendliness is way better than RH,  although its not has user friendly and easy like ubuntu ,  but u should know that the mein purpose of ubuntu is to create a linux based os that is targeted at desktop user,  and that is ment to be friendly,


well am not much of a gamer but i heard that cedega is a very good program for playing window games in linux,  and its targeted particularly at windows games , cedega is a translation layer -- it translates DirectX and Windows API calls to OpenGL, OSS/ALSA, and Linux APIs - its suport the following games World of Warcraft, Civilization 4, Battlefield 2, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Half Life 2, Counter Strike, and Fifa 2006 -- just to name-although not everything runs perfectly.but its way way better than what u can get in wine,  u can read more about how to install cedega here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega  u can also check here ,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9473  ,  i heard that its not free beer and it cost 5$ a month  anyway check the ubuntu forums there are bond to be guides on how to better play windows game in linux.

am still working on the guide oh i have sooo much on my head but am almost through with it ,  just the screenshot which i need to take for illustrations that remains , 




thanks bro am actually working to get as close to a mac as i can get ,

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

Thanks but no thanks ,  am not much of a gamer so i think i'll pass,  but i catch your drift and the moral of your sacasm is the Linux Suck at games ,  well u know what ,  that is cliche ,  but the good thing is that u are allowed to dual boot ,  hense u can keep your vista game box,  while u use ubuntu for serious work , 

all u need to know about ubuntu is here ,  www.ubuntunigeria.wordpress.com     www.ubuntu.com   or u can check my new guide www.bigbrovar.wordpress.com

I have written a 12 page Guide on how to use ubuntu which i posted in my blog ,  i and friend also wrote series of guides on ubuntu which were posted in ubuntu.nigeria ,   to allow people not just Nigerians but people world over to read and appreciate ,  so u want me to answer his question by duplicating the same tutor here ,  what is wrong in pasting a link which provides the answer to  question ?  i and some other guys wrote those guides as a poin to of rereference  ,  so is it a sin to point some one to it ,  mahn i don't get u perphaps u should explain ,
