My Linux Deflowering!

[Tachyon]

I'm using Linux for the very first time and it seems pretty cool, I'm using a SLAX LIveCD. Linux itself doesn't seem too hard to use (though I have no idea how Trevelyn manages to use LiveCDs for everything), Konsole looks pretty cool, I messed around with Telnet a bit in DOS but didn't do a lot, off I go to Google to find something cool to do with it...

Congrats!  Do you intend to completely stop using Windows?

I just started running Ubuntu on one of my laptops a few weeks ago.  I really like it so far even though I'm a newb and don't know how to do much.

Indeed I do, I was just running this LIveCD to get used to it, but now that I see I have access to my old harddrive (piles of files I THOUGHT I'd deleted, already learning loads about that) I may just keep running this. At present, I'm using a broken laptop, but I have all the parts save a case and harddrives for a new box that I will install real Slackware on if all goes well.

[trevelyn]

no no honey, i didnt have hard drives back then.  I do now.  I use ubuntu on almost all of the machines now, I used slackware for about 3 years.  I have tried them all and Ubuntu is actualkly the best one so far i have used,  It is a derivation of Debian.  It has an absolutely awsome package manager.. PM me you guys if you need help or have any questions!!  wow congrats man..

The best part about linux is how 1337 you feel when using it. All package managers are easy to use when you get the hang of it. Does ubuntu have that nice transparent terminal like knoppix?

You can set the level of transparency , How 1337 

[trevelyn]

knoppix is debian too. My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself..

I love how everyone fawns over all the Debian derivatives but Debian itself keeps declining in popularity.

Meh.

To all the newbies, check out the man and info pages on iptables.
It's the best packet managing sofware ever!

Doubt.
This is more irony then I can handle.

yum?

[Nod]

Are you freaking kidding me? You bring up a thread two months old to say yum?

[bastardblaster]

i assume you don't know what yum is then...

[Nod]

You're missing the point. You posted a one word reply to a two month old thread. It'd be one thing if you expounded on how you liked or disliked Yellow dog Updater Modified but you just simply posted yum. I'm just saying, if you're going to post in an old thread then at least have the decency to add something to it other than one word.

My hatred of you and soulja boy could fuel the fire of a million suns. Soulja Boy is not hip hop. It's a minstrel show that is an affront to black people. I'm sure Marting Luther King Jr. is rolling in his grave right now.
