That hound looks to me like it's wearing ... a Fedora. A Prominent North American Enterprise Linux Vendor might be interested in that hat. Well, at least it's not red.

I currently have winxp on a machine and want to completely get rid of itand use puppy. http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/HardDiskInstall If it were me, I'd boot and nuke the drive, then party all night and celebrate my good decision and commitment to freedom. You love XP as much as the rest of us.....

Apologies to Red Hat : The blame for the problem I had with RH 9, is with the Dummies publisher. On p.40 the Windows Confidential advice seems pretty bizzare as by following their suggestion, I couldn't get into windows. I took rarsa's tip, and loaded GRUB to the MBR (like you do with Puppy) and go...

It shows you what most non-tech people (the ones I've come across, anyway) experience 8 times out of 10, when first meeting Linux. Actually, most people I know have never heard of Linux, and ex...

The other day, I thought I'd give yet another Linux distro a go on a spare computer (Athlon 2Ghz, 120Mb HD, 512 MB RAM). I wiped the HD, installed Tindows XP to an 8GB partition, and left a nice big free space for a Linux distro - in this case, Red Hat 9. I happened to have a " Red Hat Linux 9 ...
