A Linux for Gill ? Puppy Linux

(1/3) > >>

Sandra:
This should appeal to Gill I think, being a fellow doggie lover  :)

Looks a lot nicer than having that silly penguin jumping about  :)

Sandra:
When have you seen a penguin fetch its masters or mistresses slippers and newspaper.

When has a penguin licked its balls then come over and washed your face for you  :)

GillE:
I want! I want! I want!

Hey, thanks Sandra - that's so very, very cool.  Moreover, the puppy is a chihuahua  :D !  He looks just like my little Remy before he grew his adult long coat.

I'd love to install it now, almost as a matter of principle.  The only thing is, I've never had two operating systems before; indeed, I've never partitioned a hard drive before.  If you guys are prepared to hold my hand my hand and walk me through the process, I'd love to have a go.  The only thing I'm worried about is my applications that are dependent on Win XP, especially my TV card (I know - I've got square eyes :) ) - it wouldn't compromise them, would it?

PS Penguins live on rocky outcrops surrounded by the the South Atlantic ocean and eat raw fish.  Dogs live in front of the fire and have their food prepared for them by humans, often accompanied by little tidbits.  I know which species I regard as being the more intelligent :) !

gill,

you should be able to boot off cd not effecting anything or installing anything just to give it a go!

as for penguins boo!! thats all i am going to say - I am going back to the junior school though of arguing over the best animal! :-)

Sandra:
Apparently with this one you can set the pc to boot from the CD and you dont have to install it at all, it runs from the CD or from the RAM if you have 128mbs or more available.
Also I think it can run from inside windows too, according to what it says on the main page, it may not be able to if youre on NTFS though as I am not sure if it can see that, in that case just boot from the CD as I said earlier  :)

It downloads as an ISO so just burn to a cd and give it a try  :)
