finally...back in linux

since I had returned my vostro linux laptop for another, I've been stuck in windows 7 for 10 days. I have to say Win7 is pretty good, especially when compared to Vista...but, it IS windows still, and thusly, borrrringgggg.

I'm finally back in a linux world, karmic x64 now, and I have to say it's pretty great. I was a fish outta water.

yipppeee yi yo tay ayyyyyyyyy

 

That's good to hear, welcome back to Linux.

For some reason every time I tell myself I'm done using Linux a few days later I will always reinstall Linux. I'm pretty sure I reinstalled Linux over 20 times literally.

 

yeah....I was kinda forced out of it with the machine exchange....if you are used to linux, windows just gets very boring after a while

 

Win 7 compared to Linux eye-candy and performance? Noooo contest.

 

Glad ur back to safety

I feel dirty when I reboot to 'doze for games. But on my current machine it understands and bsods after long 'nuff... aaand back home to debian in 15 secs

w7 is alright tho imho. By m$ standards. It still feels like a cheap rental car to me, that will probably never change.

 

True words 'groceries. Once you have acquired a 'taste' for linux, Windows is never the same, even though 7 is pretty darned good. I'm in Mint 8 now on my Vostro...waiting on my other Precision to ship...that's going to be interesting i.e. the new Precision and Linux.

 

Yeah, I just picked up a $30 win7 64 license to replace my aging xp install. It's pretty nice so far. I think I'm going to buy another cheap license to put on my htpc because flash video is so crappy on Linux.

But yeah, I can't go without my Linux partitions for very long though.

 

Where can u get a Win 7 license for $30

 

it's a deal they offer to students or university employees.

I switched over to OSX after getting a "broken" macbook pro and fixing it for $11.

but I'm looking at my KDE mint install and it's lonely......

 

If you have a university email address or know someone who does, you can qualify for a $30 license.

 

i'll sell you the use of mine for $10.

 

I'm gonna try and get my roommate to buy $30 Win7 for me from his uni.

 

I kinda need a little more help before I complete the installation. I managed to use unetbootin to create a linux mint 8 usb boot and I am attempting to install it now. I have made it to the point where I have to choose/make a partition.

I have an ntfs 75 gig partition that I want to install it on but it won't let me. When I go into the advanced options. It gives me a list of filesystems

I chose "Ext4 journaling file system"

The next option that it gives me is "Format the partition" then a check box. Should I check this box in?

the next and final option it gives me is the mount point mine is at "/" . What is the mount point and which one should I select?

please help fast

 

That $30 offer is over, it's up to $65 now, the regular student price.
