I am SO done with PC... update driver here, need a better graphics card there, need even MORE ran now, will need a bigger hard drive later. And the fact that you need more anti-virus protection than ever just has me frustrated.
Like now, I am SURE that I bought this beast with a 150 gig hard drive (this is a years old PC mind you) and today it is giving me errors that there is a low disc space on my 75 gig hard drive, hmmm I am missing 75 gigs now ?)
The next PC that I get will have NO music on it, NO games and NO pics. I will store everything on external hard drives and leave the operating system clean and running quickly.
Glad for yer new PC dude, they CAN be a lot of fun but they are like a beautiful woman... high maintenance.

There is a solution to all your problems, my friend! It's called Kubuntu!

Aren't most games incompatible with Linux? (I don't know anything about this so might well be talking crap!)steverino wrote:There is a solution to all your problems, my friend! It's called Kubuntu!

No, you're not talking crap. Most games are difficult to use with linux as far as I know. I'm just crossing my fingers that changes in the near future.ian_house wrote:Aren't most games incompatible with Linux?

Anyways, why play games on a computer when you can get a great console and play in HD! What are the advantages of playing on a PC? Just curious.

You can HD game with a PC, which is one of the main attractions as I can also use it as a media center. MMO's and RTS's are the main gaming appeal for me for the PC, you just can get quality versions on consoles. It's been too long since I could play any of the Total War series and DC online is far too tempting. I've heard the PS3 version is having a torrid time of updates and crashes.steverino wrote:No, you're not talking crap. Most games are difficult to use with linux as far as I know.

Then by all means, enjoy! Sounds like you've got a heck of a gaming thing going on! I had now idea how awesome a computer gaming system could be. Worth every penny if you ask me!ian_house wrote:You can HD game with a PC, which is one of the main attractions as I can also use it as a media center.

I get too addicted to games. That's probably why I avoid them so much. Linux is my cup of tea. I have a work computer and I like just working with it and not having those Windows problems I've always managed to get. Heck, you can even put a small Linux partition in a windows computer and have the best of both worlds. Kinda like having your cake and eating it too.
Anyways, thanks for the info.

I will be getting a new PC here soon as well as a power spike trashed the old PC. All of the info was saved and there was no virus to be found on any of the drives (internal or external). Now just to purchase a tower system and get back on the road.ian_house wrote:It's arrived! EXCITEMENT!!!!! 2 Hours more work then home to get it set up and then into the DCU I will go.
