the new firefox has added features
so come on guys ,give the windblows the heave ho !
another thing about linux os is no need for anti spy ware
or fire wall ie norton. ( there are linux firewalls and spy ware
available , but this is for systems which have dual boot
ie windows xp and linux on a partition on a drive etc
so to stop stuff gettings to the windows part ,lol
or if like me you have the pcs all linked together and files are sent from machine to machine.
but the very fact you have to use shell commands
to install new software then give it read/write permissions
make it impossible to unwittingly install a virus.
so for online stuff ,banking etc downloading music
some sites (dodgy mp3 site ) keep saying ,turn off your firewall ! lol it aint got one ,so obviously they trying to put trogens on but they wont install.
so any one interseted in getting a cheap pc /secondhand
etc i can mail over the mandrake linux (4 x cds )
or 1 dvd.
and make sure the pc has a netcard (lan connection )
then just plug into a router/moden and your online.
although i wouldnt recommend trying to install a
usb modem as its in depth stuff to configure it etc
in usa google have released a $199 pc
with a version of linux and full of google stuff
a fairly decent word processing package
firefox 1.7.1 think graphics must be a limited for
student stuff at that price
but all in all a value machine aimed at those who already have one or more pcs but may want a full spec pc at rock bottom price , completely windows free !!
sorry windblows
