Help via IM? You lightweight :) When I first joined LQ, I couldn't for the life of me get RH8 to burn correctly. So some kind soul (who I have never heard from since) posted me a set of cds that they had burned. Moral of the story: LQ rocks. Very hard. Pah! Help via IM?

I started out answering questions mostly but had a few questions myself, but I remembered when 30 new posts was a lot 5 years ago. Though I don't login that often anymore, hell, I think it's been 3 or 4 months in fact, I'd recommend the site. But it's kind of nice to let the site go, I found myself way too involved, it consumed me so I've taken my life back and doing more things I enjoy instead nowadays. Who knows though, not even sure I'll ever login again. Today for the first time in months I browsed around anonymously without logging in to see what's going on, if anything has changed, etc. LQ.org was and still is a good site for those just starting out with Linux.

Excuse me for being incoherent and off-topic, but I just wiped out SUSE from my laptop and to my horror the Debian CD I burned was not able to do a proper installation. I suspect corrupt CDs. I believe I asked before of what was a suitable distro for a laptop. I now find myself in desperate need of a distro... This is serious (not a parody :P) I now appreciate why so many people ask "which distro?" I'd never look down on newbies. It's like beginning all over again for me as my brain's got soft from not doing Linux installations for a while :P Good article.

The strange thing was the the Md5 matched with the one in the HTTP mirror. But the installation failed at a late stage because of one or two packages which couldn't be installed.

You don't want to know - I've got 6000 posts under my belt in less than half a year :shock: Hari - Hehe! That is unfortunate; there was probably an error while burning the disk? Anyway, if you're going to try out a new distro, just pick a random one from Distrowatch's list and try it out! :D Or you might want to try out one of the two I reviewed in what was called the 'One A Day' project (which died) - they are quite good. Kate OS looks quite promising, and I never miss an opportunity to recommend Ubuntu 6.06. Pick one at random - you will probably be as surprised as I was ;) Haha! What’s up with all the morals? :P
