Back to !mint 10 again. Tried 11 went back to 10, did fresh install of 11, and now back to 10 again. 11 would not start up this morning, and wireless started going whack before that. 10 is good to me and No Unity to screw things up.

There are many good reasons to use #linux. My favorite is it intimidates your girlfriend so she'll stay off your computer. That is what my friend told me after I installed !Mint.

This is positive. Looks like Mint Menu won't be a problem getting to work in gnome 3. “More GNOME Shell Extensions — http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/more-gnome-shell-extensions-mediaplayer.html

Wow, now that was a nice positive review of Fedora. !Mint 11 used as example how to do it right. “Jupiter Broadcasting” — http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/

A strike by definition is an act against demands of ones employer. What occurred was individuals in collective action expressing their constitutional rights of free association, speech, and assembly. Nothing more, nothing less. They did not ask to be paid and weren't. Schools were closed and since time was made up at the end of the contract day, the district saved quite a bit of money on wages, energy, and food. One would think this kind of taxpayer savings would be applauded by fiscal conservatives. http://goo.gl/XPavD

#mint #compiz Thing about compiz is there is always new things to learn and explore. Saw a post about place windows in which an app will load on desktop of your choosing. Works great. Chrome alway open on desktop 1,2.

Any one surprised. Add the profit motive to government services the costs rise. http://goo.gl/msZKx

#mint11 #mint10 #unity #ubuntu Went back to Mint 10. Unity free 11.04 was getting too slow and more buggy. Wait and see if Mint 11 final release fixes things. Any ways my Mint 10 is stable, slick, and fast.

Linux Action Show gave a negative review of Chrome OS. I am actually a little more positive about it. I think the time has come for a safe, secure, web only device.
