I am a cheap, dirty whore.
Lately I've been trying out a whole bunch of different Linux-based operating systems on my PC. Well, not a whole bunch, more like just a few. First Ubuntu 6.10, then Ubuntu 6.06, then Knoppix, then Fedora Core, then Ubuntu 6.06, then Ubuntu 6.10. I figure since it's free, I may as well play around with it.
I had problems with it from the beginning, though. First I didn't realize that I should defrag my hard disks in Microsoft Windows before partitioning them, so I had trouble running linux but windows still worked fine. Then, I got rid of Windows altogether, and reinstalled linux. Then, I had trouble installing the programs I need, because My computer doesn't have Internet access, and it turns out that you need Internet access to install certain programs on linux, since it needs to automatically download additonal files. Also, I am unable to reinstall windows onto my machine.
Right now I'm downloading a different OS (Musix) which is geared towards audio recording. I have a lucky penny in my pocket, but please cross your fingers for me anyway.
