Yeah! FC5! I used to use FC3 and FC4 alot, hmm, I'll give FC5 a try, and try to get WiFi to work on it.

It's totally awesome. If ever I want to check my bank balance, go on paypal, or something like that, I boot up Fedora.

I should try FC5.

You should! I would advise using a second hard drive, though. Linux boot loaders tend to screw up the Windows partition if you put Linux on to the same hard drive. Pick up a 40GB IDE/PATA hard drive for about ?15 from some online shop.

No reason why anybody shouldn't try Linux, even if there is no intention of using it. The great thing about Linux, or more specifically Fedora (and Debian) is that all the applications loaded on top of it are 100% free. You will never get any spyware or viruses.

FC5 performs good and looks great.

Behind all versions of Windows is that tacky gradient-filled Windows 98 appearance. Windows Vista is built upon all the flaws of its predecessors!! Remember that!! Also, Windows cannot do 64-bit properly to save its life.

Yeah, though I'm trying not to spend ATM.

Surely you have an old hard drive that you can use just to look, then if you like, then use it.
That reminds me, I have a 10GB hard drive, as dead weight in here, let me use that.

Hmm, I do, but I don't know where.

Let me know how you all get on :)

Not at all, lol. Should mod PHPBB first...

It installing on old 10gig while me hoping i can put ndiswrapper into it.

:lol: First time ive seen this thread and its hilarious! :lol: I have had errors like the one above in the middel of copying. Hell, my PC wouldnt even start because i put to much stuff on it! :lol: I get really wierd Blue Screens aswell. pity u cant take photoes of them....

Ah but I can (with a digital camera)...

I've been getting blue screens a lot after I play Garrys Mod... that might have something to do with me and Grim spamming lots of exploding barrels and chucking grenades -- server crashes, application falls over in error, then sometimes I get blue screens. It has happened twice so far.

Yeah, that's fun, just find a quite area and spawn shitloads of exploaders then one rocket/grenade late the server crashes! Hehe...

Must be Windows servers :P

(Like the way I brought this back on topic?)

We did that at petes! U got him banned by about 12 servers! :lol: And i got bollocked by destroying that guys base thingy...:lol:

Another thing that gradually crashes servers is the harpoon gun; just get under the water in gm_construct and go wild. Lag++++

Kicked, actually, I've only been banned once, and that's cos I said "bye bye" before launching and went back on after to say hi to the admin. That was funny. Most servers don't have the admin online.

I went in that guys server afterwards, and I got addicted to the melon gun. Being a melon is amazing.

LOL, I got banned. So you actually played properly for once?

No, when I got bored of being a melon, I spawned lots of exploders and I crashed it.

:D

Oh, lol, atleast you crashe it. get a ban?

I didn't rejoin :P

Oh, lol. good plan. Ah well, it was worth it.
