@xkeltoix this guy has no idea what he is talking about firefox is open source he is not that bright :-)

[rcarp711]

@themixturemedia Mozilla is open source. Firefox is a branded mozilla.

He said MSN network.

Thunder Bird instead of outlook might have turned people off except in the new Windows 7 they got rid of outlook for free anyway. No excuse to convert now. 9.10 karmic koala is an excellent OS for a first time windows convert.

thats the only complaint i have about linux. getting hardware to work. but it has gotten so much better over the years i almost cant complain anymore

Technically the logo is still copyrighted, but that's the only part...

But the one included here is just a globe anyway, so they've even got that base covered.

[Macintosh3745]

i installed it and it configured in the install

[mpalmer5985]

I've never had to do that. I run Ubuntu 8.04 and when it's wired, it just runs. Wireless was a bitch cause my card doesn't work natively in Linux, but like anything Linux, screw around with it enough and it'll work.

[ezridaeus]

Most distros autodetect wired and wireless connections these days. It's very much plug and play now.

[hismadjesty]

all I did was plug it in. did you try that?
