Puppy Linux is OKAY, if you just like being on Free Republic
I like Ubuntu Linux, it’s pretty good and stable
Reporters: Unencumbered by the thought process.
My first HDD was about 100MB. I was a late bloomer with my Tandy 486SX, Windows 3.11 computer with 1x CD drive.
I remember deleting a gae to play a different game. I remember getting “bad sectors” on every scan.
Can you imagine if this reporter had just learned about WinZip?

For some strange reason, Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint 13 do not run correctly on my primary computer - probably a video driver issue. However, I ran Puppy all day yesterday.
What was the problem with Ubuntu?
When I first installed it, the OS didn’t utilize some of my screen, as if my screen were smaller- leaving the sides black and inacessible.
That was fixed easily enough. I had to increase the screen resolution.
I have enough 1 Tb or larger devices....I now need a good RAID card,...but man they are expensive.
Great! This will allow sloppy programmers to require even MORE storage capacity, and get away with it.
The base Windows OS will probably be 100GB after a fresh/clean install....
