VMs are great for learning       because you can save your state before making big changes and if you mess up       you can just back up a bit.               I've been dabbling with linux since like Red Hat 3       I think, I find it's easy to setup, but difficult to make adjustments,       Sometimes...              Apples are ok hardware in pretty cases. I have my father-in-law's old G5       Powermac, thing is awesome to look at. He uses his mac's for music (Jazz       mostly).                     ---        þ Synchronet þ Shodan's Core - shodan.synchro.net:23 & :2323        * Origin: Time Warp of the Future BBS - Home of League 10 (1:340/400)    |
