ok so the fan on my heat sink is fucked so I pretty much have to use this webbook laptop thing that uses Ubuntu.

anyway it has wine installed on it but I've got no idea how to use it.. I tried to install msn live but got this error from the terminal:

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

Linux is actually pretty good. As a matter of fact I think that if you would have never touched Windows it's easier to learn Linux. Not to mention you need to maintain a Windows box alot more which is for the "normal people" that dont sit behind the box for more then 2 hours a day something very hard to do. Besides out of the box it has a good integrated firewall. When it comes to eye candy there is some distributions that could top Vista;.

I am toying a around a bit with Debian, I heard alot of good things about it. And many tutorials on the web.


Oh and can't wait till the cooperation comes in a couple of companys are working on a realy good distribution.. I dunno where I read it. But when its grown up and it could actually match up with a 2003/2008 domain envoirement.

Ubuntu comes with a messenger that does the Windows messenger and MSN networks. Check the internet apps menu under applications.

this is a shitty laptop that has problems playing videos on youtube at a decent frame rate.. I think this laptop would melt trying to run Renegade, lol.
