Re:Argh... - 2008/07/03 03:06 LMAO... regular maintenence ^_^ I really don't understand all of the problems people have with windows. I have had my desktop for ~6-7 years... and I have had to wipe it 1 time. My laptop, 4 years... wiped it once... but that was because I was fooling around with stuff I shouldn't have been... and needed to repartition to toss on linux.

Well, I'm not sure why the audio is how it is... it may be a driver... it is a standard conexant chipset. I just know that the sound coming from windows is MUCH clearer. It's almost as if the sound on linux is "compressed" and full of noise.

Re:Argh... - 2008/07/04 00:35 nope... straight mp3 library. I have maybe 10-12 wma files. Not just sound from the media player is weird... anything that comes across the speakers sounds that way.

as for the random stuff on computer... I really cant think of anyone that could do anymore random stuff than me... I have at least half a dozen unfinished projects on here... not to mention my normal downloads and stuff.

Re:Argh... - 2008/07/08 09:30 I agree, while linux may have a bit steeper learning curve when you're used to Windows it is well worth it. I'm with you Gregg, I rebuild all 3 of my Windows PCs about once a year too. I keep them virus free, defragmented and generally don't do anything too threatening to the OS and yet the longer it is installed performance degrades.
