Ubuntu!
Last night my internet was being retarded so WoW and TF2 were out of the question. I ended up cleaning my PC some. Got rid of a lot of extra shit and compiled mine and Lauren’s music together freeing up about 25 gigs. Somehow I started thinking about Ubuntu and how I should use it; it’s free so why not? I downloaded Gutsy Gibon and burned the ISO to a CD. I Ran the live version of Ubuntu for about an hour, getting a feel for it…and meh…I don’t like it? I think I’d rather just use a Litestep shell for Windows. Viruses and spyware would be a good reason to swtich to a linux based OS…but I don’t get viruses nor spyware, so fuck it.
Plus I did some research on XP gaming vs Ubuntu + WINE gaming and it’s pretty lopsided, in favor of XP+SP2.

yeah, as far as gaming goes, no one is going to say linux is better.
as far as a stable desktop envirement that has way more freedom than osx or windows, it rules.
it just isnt built for gaming. or. rather. games are not built to run on it.
as soon as i figure out the partitioner. or. rather. as soon as the partitioner figures out my hard drive. im going to install in on like 20 gigs, and just use it to surf the web, and stuff like that. it runs so fast.

Do you know of a great software I can buy for my laptops against spyware, viruses, etc? Thanks!

I know of free software you dont have to buy.
Lavasoft: Adaware > Free.
Spy Bot Search and Destroy > Free.
HiJack This (registry editor) > Free, easy to fuck up yo’ shit.
what would REALLY help is if you ran xp instead of vista :p I have a CD and we can social engineer you a free key.
