QUOTE(JohnWho @ Apr 17 2007, 06:16 AM)  I got: Wonder how you have to answer the questions in order to have Freespire be one of the recommendations? I just did it and Freespire came up, but I said (differently to what Monster_User said) I didn't care what installation type and didn't need a whole lot of software - otherwise what Monster said. -------------------- Feel free to assume that I won't know what you are talking about...

I have 2.16 Puppy and have tried it...like you said, Lot's of fun, but are you saying that I can play it from the CD and Store that information, turn the computer off, re-boot without the CD into Windows, and if I like, go back to the puppy CD and have the changes I made to that program in a folder so I would be able to save favorites etc.?

Eureka....yes you can save bookmards, etc. without an inatallation...just using the live CD. I made several changes and then just did a re-master of the original CD and it's now up-dated anytime I want to use it...I don't know of another Live CD that you can do that with...what a wonderful feature.
Let's go Puppy. Admin Note: If you don't mind, could you refrain from quoting ever single thing that was posted before your post? We can all remember from one post to the next the context of the thread without having to scroll past quotes of what you just read. It's annoying as hell... groove |

Yep, you can. When the CD is full or you have written your 99 sector Puppy will prompt you for a fresh CD. It will burn all of you information to the new CD, allowing you to make 99 more writes before creating a new CD. Actually if you have a DVD player it is like having Windows 95 (The size not the capabilities) on a 8 gb hard drive.
Puppy using either a NTFS or FAT32 partition can copy windows files if you needed a utility to transfer files from a crashed windows install. --------------------  "2007 & 2008 Windows Shell/User Award" |

Kubuntu and Ubuntu, in that order, but I prefer GNOME to KDE.
Pretty accurate  |

The quiz pulled up the distro I use as #1, PCLOS, with my second choice, Mepis, in 5th place. I've tried all the others that came up and I did not like them as well and I do not like any of the Ubuntu versions I've tried.

 I can see what you post! Group: Members Posts: 6,302 Joined: 14-February 05 From: Somewhere in North East Ohio Member No.: 12,053 |
I've been using Ubuntu now for about 9 months now and I love it. I took the quiz to get an idea of what similar types of OSes are there to it. I just got stuck with Ubuntu and Debian for the results. Go figure

I took the test amidst 2 friends arguing their cases for ubuntu and Suse. I chose Kubuntu. However after I installed it i cant seem to surf the web. Not sure but I think it has something to do with either my network settings or my tp-link wireless adapter card. Can anyone help me figure this out? I am a seasoned vetran with windows but a complete noob with linux.

I got matched with Freespire, Mandriva, openSUSE, and Ubuntu. I have the Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.4 discs. I've been putting off their installation for too long. I think the test is a sign that I should finally embrace Linux.
