Re: Libre office
oh the package libreoffice is a meta-package I think.
I had some issues with ubuntu 12.4 and ended up installing open office from apache.

Re: Hello old friends
It feels like a strange cousin though. I had been using Fedora for quite some time. I stopped hopping and got into just using a daily os. Now I am changing jobs and my stint with oracle has become more than a hobby. I am in the possition to be way ahead on my knowledge base from all the window worsh...

Re: Do ubuntu (and maybe Mint) harm hard drive? (acpi proble
I was involved in the bug report for this. It was a hardware issue. My laptop has a Mitsubishi and was one having the acpi not spin down the drive correctly. This was present with BSD as well. I never got a real fix for it but after 2.6.33 it went away. It had that "click" sound at shutdow...

Re: Linux Mint 6 XFCE released!
Great job! I can't decide between Xfce and Flux as for the best light Mint, I have to try this one for sure.

Re: Huge Virus infects many Ubuntu and Mint computers
Sorry to be a spoilsport, but this was the very reason I gave up on the Ubuntu forums, the constant Windows bashing. I chose Linux because I liked it, and I didn't have any desire for Windows to be driven in to the dust. It's not a bad OS, it works, and nicely with some tweaking, but I like Linux b...

Re: Linux Mint users most loved beer
Not a big beer drinker but I have to stop drinking Liquor due to health concerns and I am really getting suspicious of soda's health risks, cancer? In the U.S., most public water has fluoride, which is poisonous, yep. I love a good merlot sometimes but wine just makes me thirsty. So lately it's bott...

I think we have reached the event horrizon for Linux
I have been forthright in my quest to educate people about the "other" choice for OS'. For three years I have felt like an idiot when people look at me like I'm a goof-ball or get mad when the distro I give them does not meet their expectations. In the last week or so, this has changed. I ...

Re: Mandriva Linux One 2009
I can only echo what has been said. Kde4 in M09 is nice and I have been critical of 4 lately. I have also tried the Gnome version, nice too. Those guys have a knack for good distros.

Re: How is everyone?
Well, I am officially back to Mint. I have 3 boxes with it, again. My distro hopping took me on a journey! I have introduced Linux to many people and the most positive results were from Mint cd's I handed out. I have been with Ubuntu for some time, since April. I still have hopes for Ubuntu and I am...

Re: More breakage in Ubuntu??
I'm happy to say that I have Elyssa nicely configured on my main box, the trusty old Dell laptop. I am toying with my desktop as I write. It crashed FFox twice just now. :wink: OK now FluxboxCE is on the desktop. I had trouble before but now it's flawless. My off-line desktop was already running Min...

Re: More breakage in Ubuntu??
Nice replies!
I have yet to change anything but Fedora10 in sitting in my desktop in live mode and I am Loving Mint's Flux CE.
I just feel let down, Hardy ran perfectly and I could install, clean-up, personalise. and tweak it in less than an hour.
Intrepid feels like Windows.

Re: ZDNet Just "Gets It"
Well, sometimes we Ubuntu nuts get cracked and come crawling back to Mint. ZD does have some decent tasts though, maybe they'll catch on.
