Someone email this guy's wife:

Apparently he had a Big Mac in his hand whilst walking down the aisle, "for comfort"! Smile

pilchards mistake was that he tried to install that cr*ppy mandriva, it crashes most peoples machines.

try ubuntu or just debian. The new fedora core 4 is pretty nice as well but has an older version of gnome and i think the kde version is 3.3 or 3.4

I think you'll find Fedora Core 4 has the latest version of Gnome

i thought it 2.8 instead of 2.10 ? my bad

A-Wing · Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2005 11:00 am Post subject:

Nope 2.10 (although 2.10.1 is out now but that is only a minor bugfix)
Core 3 is 2.8

yup your right, just checked my machine ... I think it might have been Debian 3.1 that had gnome 2.8 from the LXF dvd.

A-Wing · Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2005 11:17 am Post subject:

That sounds more like it. I believe Debian 3.1 does use gnome 2.8

I still have an Ohio Scientific C1P and the Elector eour card clone. They came with Microsoft Basic ROM 1977 yeah the Gates and Allen seed money that they bought MS-DOS with code that they wrote themselves. it had a major bug garbage collection,fix chane of an XOR to ROT eeproms where avaiable with in 2 months source the users after all a memory leak on 32K machine is termail. So my Point M$ has alwas been buggy,with the users fixing the bug themselves or devolping workarounds,the offial fixes alwas to late to help.Now I use FC4 and XP only boot into XP for UT2004 havn't got up the gumpsion to install on ligt side yet( CLI fears only installed FC3 6 mon ago).

Enjoy the Choice

I like the fact that any tablet running Windows for tablet PCs had to be rebooted daily because of a memory leak, this bug has been going on unfixed for around 2 years until very recently.
