Ouch....LOL
Wow...this must really be an active forum site! I didn't expect to see such responses only hours after having posted my comments here, (we see many threads online where someone will comment on a site and the response comes years later) actually I expected no response....hmmm...maybe this comment will show you emailers the art of avoidance (LOL) .
Anyway, thanks for the emails and these comments, and sorry about my crude lack of communication skills (smile, I blame it on my chemical imbalance brought on by fluoride being forced in my water supply...as if ingesting aluminum slag is going to make your teeth whiter; here's a snippet of news:
According to investigative reporter, Christopher Bryson, in his new book "The Fluoride Deception", fluoride is an essential component of atomic bomb production and was declared a 'strategic and critical' material by the government after World War II, With fluospar, the usual fluoride source, in short supply, they turned to Florida's phosphate industry to recover the industry's captured fluoride. Florida held the world's largest geological deposits of natural phosphate which contain 3 - 4% fluoride. ). Crap, I'm in Florida and I'm here to tell you there's something wrong with the water here.
But that's another story, so what if the profiteers are killing us, hell we have a food/air shortage right?
Okay I'm back...
But to touch on the Linux group. Isn't it totally odd that the media or our so-called education system (programming those young impressionable minds with....) doesn't bother to tell us about Linux? I mean, if this present social and economic order (we'll call it the capitalistic order) hasn't bothered to tell us something like "Hey fellow americans! We have some good news to draw your attention from the fact that we are using your kids in our wars for profit, and the fact that we incarcerate more of our own people than any other country in the world, and that homelessness and jobless rates are growing at an alarming rate, and the fact that we seem to be getting looted by the few owners to the tune of a 14trillion dollar debt (some say as high as 17trillion). The good news is that you don't have to deal with viruses anymore!!).
Now that would be news (since they've not found any weapons of mass destruction, etc.).
So, I guess what I'm trying to say in a round about way, thanks for not sending the hate mail (smiles).
P.S. If anyone out there is bored and want to investigate something REEEEALLLY interesting check out Jonestown! Cia owned the property over in Guyana (before it was Jonestown it was the Shalaom Project). People that tried to escape the U.S. Policy (MK-ultra, viet nam, etc.) went over there and were smiling faces when they went but were soon changed and I'm pretty sure you'll find the "news" we heard about a bunch of black people just deciding to listen to a white preacher to commit suicide was a blatant lie. Really shocking, you'll read about a Senator Leo Ryan that was killed over there (but find out what he was working on in the states: Hughes/Ryan Amendment that was, if passed would have forced Cia from using us as guinea pigs (even now, check out what brought those three towers down in NY....they will change history though because we all are saying "twin towers" instead of THREE...p.s. I can prove on an etch-a-sketch that it could not have been a plane or kerosene (jet fuel)).
Anyway, enough rambling...peace out people!
Welcome to the forum, Kenny! I was the one who created this thread, and since then, I've got things worked out. I've been using Mint since 6, and Ubuntu before that. No one has to sell on me how good Linux is, I've known it for awhile.
It was just setting up my computer to computer to run it, and getting used to the new Mint. Personally, I liked the splash screen of Mint 7 (those water beads running down that mint green screen), but those days are gone.
If you would have read into the thread, you would have read that I got things worked out.
And yes, I know that Mint has thousands of apps on hand, I use enough of them to know, and the best thing about Mint is you don't need an AV, defraggler, registry cleaners, and it will fly on 4GB RAM with no problem.
Best of luck, and keep up the good work.
