ps hav u ever felt that ubuntu makes u think upside down as in from windows?

Isnt 5 pc 2 much? Its still dial up internet o even if na 10G dem call am. Anyway no big deal, create ur private network if na lan or wireless as normal. Create d 3g connectn on d main host n share so oda pc can hav access thru d network.

i don't understand why this topic is generating debate? quote:"which do i prefer between xp and vista? xp by a long mile
which do i believe is better?
let's be objective, vista is SIGNIFICANTLY better, however
vista also requires SIGNIFICANTLY better hardware to actually perform up to spec

i think xp users should stop being sentimental about this thing, lets face facts; barring compatibility
issues and driver issues and hardware requirements, what thing does xp have on vista?
and before anybody calls me a hypocrite i truly HATE vista and i hope to NEVER use that os
at least on my personal hardware anyway but the fact still remains that it's a better software,
for instance compare task managers in XP and Vista; also with vista i can actually
reduce the size of my partition(s) without any third party software."
ok lets see, you buy a car, the engine doesnt work well, it doesnt have tires and u need the mechanc every other day, but u tell urself i bought a fine car!!!!!! jeez wake up! as av said if the shit was gud, hell 3 yrs later they releasing something else, hw come. dude wat use is an os where u cant do basic things and it gives u a migraine, yet u say its fine? and for people like me who suffer from sylar mentality, want to knw hw things work and tweak and hack etc etc, vista is a nightmare. ABEG CASE CLOSED!!!. @WEAVER WHERE IS THE UBUNTU CD U PROMISED ME? U DON RUN FROM UBUNTU AND LINUX THREADS?

@ ralvy, U CAN DIAL UP ON UBUNTU, JUST TO CLARIFY @BIGROVAR Y U DEY ASK DEEZ ? NAW, U MY CHAIRMAN 4 LINUX! well tell u what, figure out hw to install yf/open vpn on ur ubuntu and buy that fone, i will spring u the koko's and u will enjoy the 3g as u knw, dont mind them, aint no difference, as long as u in a 3g coverage area, u will enjoy 3g. the rest na just packaging. BUT AS A NAIJA BOY U WILL GIVE ME A LILL SUMTIN SUMTIN DONT BE DISMAYED, I DNT WANT MONEY, JUST A LINUX DISTRO AND UR HELP WHEN I NEED IT FOR MY UBUNTU, FAIR BARGAIN EH

na wah o lynx, u have a thing against desktop icons? i do too anyway. quick question at all, how do i install yf and open vpn , man must survive ko. dt thingy is veeerrrrry essential.

thou shalt goeth to ikeja, under computer village and thou shalt asketh the BOIZ for vistamizer or vista inspirat. be careful to getteth a BOIZ that speaketh and Understandeth english so when u sayeth what u wanteth they will understandeth. ees jus 150 bros, straight from japan eh bross, deez 1 na original o!

wireless networking. Both systems must hav wireless capability. And u need a wireless hub. Create a wireless network, hook up d printer 2 1 of d pc and share it on ur network. Ka ji ko?

Thanx a million. I hav 2 tell my folks not 2 reject d thing wen its brought. My names are Barr. DAWODU AFOLABI by d way. Thanxs man

Thanx eagerly waiting n salivating.

Yup, am a lawyer. Ok av heard of dt club b4. Anyways wen u get down 2 lag just drop it lyk its hot here n we'll holla. Tell big brovar dt im sayin hi, dt now dt am seein new stuff its bin an eyeopener. Av a thread here abt dualboot vista n xp n u can see it n laugh at me.

@esquire id like 2 hav a copy. Infact av bin tryin 2 get 1 of d gud folks of dis thread 2 hook me up but no progress. So ud b appreciated. Are u learned or u just like d name esquire? Cos i am.

Thanx @ all BUT PLS DNT MAKE A CASE 4 VISTA! It IS CRAP. I knw, am not a tech dunce n av bin on windows since 95 editn. Can u bliv d stupid fools dt manufactured d lapie actualy put vista on a 512mb ram!! As in even d os itself requires dt much 2 run. I didnt buy it bt am stuck wit it. It ain't fun. Can u bliv d amt of compatibility issues. N.b dnt tell me abt serv pack 2. So xp is it. As 4 xp sp3 it doesnt install sound onboard. Nlite etc, u hav 2 b joking. I shld start making my own xp iso? Pls. Dis is y im going opensource. And pls who knws hw 2 correct d vista bootloader. After xp it will prob overwrite d mbr n i dnt think d vista will register again. See wat i hav 2 go thru wit my own money n time? Bleep microsoft.

Hi pls i just shrunk my hard drive using d hard drive tool that comes with vista and created a new partition which i named and formatted in ntfs. Upon poppin in my xp cd and booting up d wizard says it cant find any hard drive. Pls i need help. D hard drive is not locked or so i believe. Its a LG lapie. Bought brand new and untouched.

Hey lynx wats up now? Av not bin able 2 get online 4 some days. Hw far? Hey u posted d cd's yet? Pls do oh my bro. Doh, biko, dan allah. As per d dial up, u eva tried zain witout pc suite? If u manage it i'l eat my hat. Dem blokes system is just bleeped. Mtn has no such issues. Hw life 4 ur side? Op all gr8 sha. Keep it rolling. I agree wit u. Bleep bill gates

thanks at all, i got onto the wine and other softwares part. but the reason i raised the issue is like under windows u cant use dial up on some networks unless u use pc suite to enter the apn in the connection. as in thats part of the networks authentication. of course u can always use the the network wizard 4 others. i dont think ubuntu's dial upwizard has that authentication thingy does it? anyway its a minor problem,i just have to shell out for a card i guess. but its annoying to have to pay 4 internet not much better than dial up when i can hiaaj then dial up f.o.c. but its possible for the pc suite to work under wine hope it does.

which type of argument is dis one? virus 4 java fone? tseew! guy d k 800i software has bugs in it so after a while it starts misbehavin. d solution is to use d s.e. update service on ur fone to update d firmware. after dt u cool. mine was even deleting applications when i remote d sim! as 4 2630 i dnt suppose d fone uses sis files too? u dey take nokia mata judge s.e. Crap!

hi, quick question @ all. i often find myself stuck wit dialup as my only means of gettin online esp on travels. so i need my pc suite 2 connect my fone. hw do i install my pc suite? or even beta my .exe files? i hav some stuff am into like football mgr. av not seen .deb versions n google has not given me answers. hw man wan cope wit? esp d dial up issue anyway

What is inventive abt vista? Bunch of bull! Xp any day! If vista wasnt crap hw come jst 3yrs after general release dey already hav 7 up 4 release by nov! Learn frm history, all d crap os dey made were quickly phased out. Rmbr win me? Its just d looks dt fool some folks. If u had shown interest in enhancements u'd hav discovered sooo many ways of pimpin xp up 2 look even beta dan vista. Maybe all u do is a bit of surfing and wordprocessing but wen we go deep down kai vista no be am! And then imagine all d fun u can hav tweaking and soiling xp. Tried dt on vista? AND GOD, AFTER HW MANY YRS DT MAC N LINUX N ODA OS HAV BEEN VIRUS FREE MICROSOFT STILL CANT MANAGE A HALF SECURE OS? Please!
