PLS DOWNLOAD AINT POSSIBLE 4 ME SO I NEED SUM1 TO PLLEEEAASE HELP ME BY SENDING ME A COPY. KUBUNTU OR ANY. I LIVE IN LAGOS. PLEASE OH. ITS ONLY REDHAT 4 CDS I SEE IN IKEJA

hey u didnt ans any of my questions. i hav an adventurous side too. ok they are- 1. can i do them on an intel based p3, 2. wat is d size of d average install footprint? cause i went googling n i was seeing stuff lyk 2-4 dvds!!? 3. is d installation something i can manage on my own? i knw my way around a pc. 4. i dnt think i can download files of that size n be burning em. i saw retail versions of redhat being sold. 4 cds or more can i use that?

well they look nice! i always sort of just thot that the things were like windows 95. not as in looks but i just remember those days you had to learn the exact command to play prince of persia or chess!!!!javascript:void(0); any ways iv spent many years learning my way round windows, the thot of starting the process allover is not appealing. u knw wat, can i install one of them thingys on a p3? i have one i can sacrifice for experimenting, God help me! then av seen this redhat blabla in ikeja with them boys. is that one safe to try and will it be just as fine? at least i an oppress my friend with the stuff? heh?

sorry to butt in on this veeeerrrry interesting mumbo-jumbo, but as a mugun who has NEVER seen a linux pc before, does it have a user friendly point and click interface like windows or do u need a degree in command typing to use the damn thing. all the times av heard about the thing all i hear are fantastic names and what seems to be programming language! PLS WHAT IS WRONG WITH MACKINTOSH AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO WINDOWS EH?

sorry but dude you sound really rude. i was just trying to help. and i dont knw where or wat ur pc has been thru. the "normal" issue is what i tried to help you with. well final say is if you installed a pirated os well the shit aint complete. they hardly ever are. until you come across it you wont knw wats missin in them. the help files are probably missing in your install, that is if as you say it was from the day u installed u noticed

hi pls i need help. on my xp i just discovered dt wenever i want to install my sony ericsson pc suite i get a msiexec dialog box wit some stuff i dnt understand n it rolls back. i dnt get dis wit ANY OTHER INSTALL. iv upgraded my windows installer 2 d latest one n av tried anoda pc suite bt same result. iv used dis pc suite b4 bt i just formatted n pronto, ! who knws wats gwan.pls help!

I NEED HELP!! BIKO PLS ANYONE? or put anoda way is there any1 who uses dial up on vista wit zain? maybe a few obvious pointers

hi everyone. pls who knws wats up wit dial-up on vista. i dial up with my zain line on my vista and all i get is limited connectivity or none at all. d fone connects quite alright but d lapie is just bleeped. it works like a dream on xp. iv even formatted n reinstalled d os in d mistaken belief dt d os was bleeped but no difference! am at my wits end. av tried everything i knw. help b4 i Bleep something up. there is no other means of gettin online

a crap defence + a really really shite cb + a clueless, lost, head in the clouds manager, an atrocious display from a reserve goalkeeper + 2 gifted goals = arsenal1- chelsea 2. i fear for the rest of the season. Lord have Mercy!!!

javascript:void(0);javascript:void(0javascript:void(0); yeah yeah, well maybe all u tshepe fc folks ought t look back a bit and tell me when was the last time arsenal lost an important match as underdogs. even @ julius berger bridge earlier this season na chop i chop una. well the match beckons. but id take a big match with no chance to win a la the pundits for arsenal anyday. its the ones where the team is favorites that i fear. so no shaking. may the better team win

yes iv been trying 2 google it but no show. the official thing is an online installation. u should try that in naija with the crap internet service we have to put up with. if u knw where to get a standalone offline installation file id be very grateful 4 the info.

Yeah right. Ars will roll over n die abi? Expect a shock. Win might be dicey BUt MARK My WORDS chelsea will be OUTPLAYED

Besides hw many of d so called big tests has chelsea passed dis season? Dey play all big 4 still. All d talk abt title is a big blue delusion
