Why does FC4 take so long? Is it a DVD? Thats one reason while I love the debian based distros, it gives you a functioning system and you can add programs that you need. Just 700MB to dl


well it's 4cd and i'm even downloading at the rate of 100kbps form my office where i'm hving my IT. At home we use a multlinks internet connection which i dare not try to use or i'll spend 4wks on it.n as u know i'll ve to go home by 5:30 . actually i started 2,3 hrs ago n the first cd is done now left with 3 hopefully i might complete the download by tomorrow.

@Niggy what distro do you use?

jogego, thx man i respect ur contribution. i wz formerly using redhat 9 bt now i'm using mandrake 10. i'm currently downloading fedora core 4, dat should take about 3days or so. kanotix and knoppix r both debian base which i don't like. when i wz working with knoppix i installed it on my system hd disk with this command (knx-hdinstall). mandrake evolved from redhat linux and has lot of supports too. no dependencies problem. the smb4 is superb, no need for any config. bt redhat had really made me old fashion so i work with the terminals alot.(no choice man).

Hi guys,

I'm actually a Linux user and like to hear people's opinion on this controversial issue. (Linux or Windows)

I'm sure many people have had about Linux but most get scared of the name. They believe it's an operatiing system that's meant for the gurus so to say.

But I'm happy to tell you that Linux is actually making a more interactive interface operating system system with nice colours, quite flexible to use (you can play your DVD, VCD, MP3, audio CDs, games, run Microsoft Word / Open Office, etc.) and never have to worry about viruses ever again.

Imagine, many programmers now write programmes for Linux, e.g. Yahoo Messenger for Linux, SQL, Maya, and lots more. Guys why not give it a try? I've worked with many versions: Redhat, Knoppix, Mandrake, etc but I would say Mandrake Linux 10 is a good one to start with.

Bye guys.

Please, why does my PC keep asking me to get Windows Update because the PC is vulnerable to security attacks from the Internet?

I get the updates everyday and it keeps telling me to update! It's frustrating! Is it the presence of worms, virus or some other threats? I also need to know the best anti-virus to download


u guys should try linux

well, i think some factors are in play here:
1. What the man expects is not what he gets(fallin out of love).
2.The wiffey growing out of shape(yoruba women).
3.The wiffey not been sexy anymore.
dat's what i think....
