Comment on XFCE build 1.1 by X11 for R806 at Blue Square Linux

[...] so I went over and had a look. It’s a GUI based on GNUstep. Seven months ago I made XFCE on Xfree88 but I never really followed it up. That was my first LFS that I’d made and therefore a bit [...]

Name it Snoopy! Then the mascot can be a beagle with armor, swords, and a girly bark. Oooooh or a powerpuff girl with a mohawk, and they travel through the fargate, cause it goes far, get it? Made from the people of findependence day. You don’t wanna be sued by the makers of Independence day. Oh and put the powerpuff girls with a mohawk in a wheelchair. On the other hand, you could use the universal remonster!

I have used linux on and off since 1997 (Caldera was the first!). I would recommend getting an extra Hard disc, powering down your PC and cold swap your XP disc for a brand new drive and then install a linux distro onto that.
That way if you really do get in a muddle just put back in the xp disc.

I have been using a couple of cold swappable hard drive caddies for this for the last 4 years. Although i swap less & less now ;)

Admin, As for a linux built PC i think the way forward is to offer cheap laptops with it on.

I live in Essex which is quiet far away from you. At least 100 miles. The Linux OS uses a boot loader called Grub or Lilo which allow you to boot to any OS installed on that computer be that Linux, Windows or another OS. When installing Linux it should detect that Windows is installed on your computer (if it is) and add to to the boot menu.

If you are interesting is trying Linux but do not want to worry about what might happen to your computer if you make a mistake then I would recommend using a Live CD or a virtual machine (VM). The first boots off of a DVD or CD and the latter installed Linux onto a virtual machine on your computer so you can run Linux inside of Windows. If you would like to try out Fedora 8 live CD let me know and I’ll put them up on the shop, Just let me know what architecture you want.

I am looking at Linux and really do not know where to start

I live in Leamington Spa Warwickshire and am really looking for someone who lives nearby to either build me a pc with both linux and Windows Xp or to help me install on one of my existing pcs. I have not the time to do this by trial and error myself although I have read the opening chapters of a linux book from the library and the task is probably nopt beyond me.
