  1. BackTrack is not designed as a full time OS. It is meant to run from a USB drive only. (But I always carry it with me) Make sure you get the x86 version of Ubuntu instead of the LPIA version (LPIA is used in the dell version of ubuntu but it will save you headaches with software compatibility and only affects the battery by a few minutes)
  2. Are never the ones to bail you out of prison 'cause they are always there with you... and probably a large part of the reason you are there in the first place.
  3. Oh and I posted this from a dell mini 9 running Ubuntu 9.04, sitting next to a desktop tri-booting xp pro, win 7, and Ubuntu 9.04, and there is a Macbook Pro in the bedroom. I wont even try to list the PDAs I have lying around. This is just to point out that a) I'm a geek and b) theres nothing wrong with using any OS, they all there strong points. I just find that Ubuntu covers most peoples needs very well and it's free...
  4. The problem is that they think for themselves and think they know better than I do. However Mac has improved greatly since switching to UNIX based. If you need a computer for nothing more then surfing the internet and typing documents then Ubuntu is the way to go. The stability and security of *NIX without the price gouging of Apple. Now I'm not anti windows either. Especially since trying out 7, they are back in the right direction and there is some software you might not be able to live without and I don't begrudge using windows ( I know it much better then *NIX because I used it for a much longer time) but its not my first choice.
  5. It's not the quantity, it's the quality. Can't argue with that.. Quality over quantity any day of the week
  6. NP, Also I'll be leaving Montgomery on Thursday afternoon and coming back that Sunday if anyone wants to carpool...
  7. "The more I reach for you the further you get"
  8. My cat's name is not there... "Gixxer"
  9. Sign me up... whether I'm there Wednesday or Friday depends on if they approve my leave. I've been meaning to come out the Farm all year so I can't think of a better reason. I'm coming out from Montgomery if there is anyone else that wants to carpool.

  11. I searched to see if anyone else has mentioned this yet and didn't see it. It's a new camera from VholdR coming in a few weeks for $280 I just want something for my own enjoyment of watching and sharing with friends. Do you guys think this is worth the $100s over the Go Pro? h.264 and 1280x720 30fps with 135 degree http://www.vholdr.com/contourhd/features http://helmetcameracentral.com/2009/04/27/vholdr-contourhd-the-worlds-first-hd-wearable-camcorder/ The downside I see is the bad viewing angle for SD, but higher framerate.
  12. I don't know for sure but your best bet is that you aren't too far from Skydive Arizona in Eloy... but make sure you hit up Ogden Skydiving Center (about half an hour North of SLC) that high altitude will give you some fast ground speeds. And tell them "Mike's Hard Lemonade" sent you :)
