I'm curious. What made you return to this place, more than two years after your initial post?

Um, nothing remotely explicable!?   :hyke: Why's that one named after you, though?

Welcome Bruce,

Cheers for letting me know my IP address, lol.

Where are you from?  I'm in England.

If it's overused, it's because it's clever!  :squiddy:

She is talking about the penguin showing your IP location and what server they are using and what browser. For every person who sees it, sees their own IP address and internet browser and what desktop they are using and what server they are using. For me it says I am using Comcast cable and I am running windows and using firefox. It also says what my IP address is.

Thought the Danasoft thing had been covered. Anybody wants one, goto their site, etc. Hope it's Win7? (Though 'lost' that on my laptop, I managed to crash even W7, being particularly good at that sort of thing, :GA:). Hence, it tells me 'Linux' (not exactly informative, given the number of distros!) & Chrome & Telewest.

Oh, Brummie, huh? Pretty much from Exeter, really. Born in Bournemouth, moved to Taunton about as soon as out of hospital but moved to Newton St Cyres (little village a few miles out) before starting primary school. Strangely  :LOL: I don't remember all of that! Granny lived in Muxton, near Telford, though.....  :mischief:

What distro do you use? I'm running Debian unstable.
Title: Re: Hi! I'm New Here.
Post by: BruceCM on March 17, 2012, 04:45:17 AM
Currently, Ubuntu 11.10. As Mint Adriane doesn't seem to want to work properly! (Laptop thinks it's lost it's hard drive, which is, of course, still in place, so running in Live Mode.)  :yarly: :lol:
Not too familiar with all the distros, tbh; heard of Debian. Kind of wonder why 'unstable', it sounds terrible! Though I kind of know what it does mean.  :lol:
Title: Re: Hi! I'm New Here.
Post by: odeon on March 17, 2012, 04:50:18 AM
Ubuntu, like many other distros, is based on Debian.

The "unstable" version, also known as "Sid" (after the kid in Toy Story who is always breaking toys), is called that because there is never a fixed state for it. The distro is always in flux. There are some criteria for new packages to be allowed in, but basically anything goes. You need to know how to fix a broken system to run it, but it's a lot more fun than most other distros out there.
Title: Re: Hi! I'm New Here.
Post by: BruceCM on March 17, 2012, 04:58:58 AM
Uh, yeah, I do know Ubuntu's based on Debian & what 'unstable' does mean, ish. Not really being that much of a  :nerdy: I'm not looking for that much 'fun' with my OS. When it's working, Adriane's my idea of fun. Playing around with 4 rotating desktops, in a cube, having 'exploding' windows, etc!  :LOL: But you're a programmer, huh, so you'd know how to fix a broken system & all that  :nerdy: stuff! Sort of missed out on that, only got a laptop a few years ago, with (notorious) Vista. Fortunately, that worked fairly well (while it worked at all!) & W7 was much better, before it crashed (doh!). Still, with the appropriate forum to ask, whenever needed, I can copy & paste code into the terminal....  :yarly: :LOL:
Title: Re: Hi! I'm New Here.
Post by: odeon on March 17, 2012, 05:01:45 AM
I'm not that kind of programmer, though, I just know my way around Linux.
Title: Re: Hi! I'm New Here.
Post by: BruceCM on March 17, 2012, 05:12:32 AM
Probably been using it a LONG time. What I know about programming can be written in large letters on a postage stamp, so...  :lol:

Yay! Well, Mint (did I say?) is, usually, my favorite! I'll try it again later (assuming I get to bed tonight) & see if Adriane wants to work again, the lazy slut.  :lol:

In the guide, I may have perhaps understated her capacity to remember, just slightly.
