Or better still offer to help but of course its easier to belittle a
grown man in a public forum that can be accessed by anyone through the
archives.
True Kevan does get through a number of Distro's but then thats the
philosophy of Linux is it not? Freedom of Choice and what other reason
is a mailing list or forum for other than to seek help from someone that
'knows'?
Kevan has some right old crap for hardware the fun for him is getting
Linux to stick by its initial statements; Quote: "Linux can give you're
old hardware a new lease of life" Kevan (Popey too I think) and I have
been using Linux for many years now we remember the days of frustration
getting that graphics card to work, the problem these days is we are the
forgotten pioneers, Linux has moved on, most recent distro's only run on
newish hardware for god sake openSUSE 11.1 requires 1GB of memory WTF is
all that about?
So you keep faffing about Kev if I get fed up with requests or boring
stuff there is a simple solution IGNORE THE THREAD works for me.
