Last modified: 26 May 2006, 16:38:44 UTC what? 10 virtual desktops hans? now taht is overkill! iu have 2 or 4 at any one time You get kind of used to it: I have one for firefox, one for thunderbird, one for openoffice, 2-3 to shepherd my crunchers, one for vmware, one for Kaffeine, etc... :o) Regards Hans P.S: @Simonator: Debian is not for the faint of heart - The "stable" release is always a bit dated, and the "unstable" is - well - unstable :o) I always get sweaty hands when doing a dist-upgrade on my main box. I more than once had to revert to an older kernel because the new one wouldn't boot :o) ID: 317730 ·

Hi Simonator, you can switch to Linux now if you like. The most important Windows app works fine under wine: :o) Regards Hans Lol, fantastic. I'm intending changing to Debian, whats stopping me is that ive spent a year getting my pc exactly how i like it, not sure if i want to lose that.

Fer sail cheep, Windows spel chekker, wurks grate! If at first you don't succeed, you must be using Windows ... If WINDOWS sucked it would be good for something.

Windows v47.4 - We * * FINALLY * * got it right!!! Windows is as stable as a model of a skyscraper made ofÅ¤ playing cards. I wished Windows sucked! Then it's be good for something!

Nothing beats Windows, it keeps loading and loading and loading ... Speed kills! Switch to Windows ... The best way to accelerate Windows is at escape velocity. How do you make WINDOWS faster? Throw it harder!!! They'll release Windows 3.2 when 3.1 finishes loading. If speed scares you, use Micro$oft Windows! Windows is fast, PKZIP is good, and hell has frozen over. Windows to 486/50 mhz CPU: Don't rush me, don't rush me ... Windows is made by MicroSOFT, not MicroGOOD, MicroRIGHT, or MicroFAST. Try Windows...for a good night's sleep while you wait...and wait ... Pick two: 1)Fast 2)Right 3)Cheap 4)Windows (counts as 2) Make Windows fly...put it on the space shuttle ... Ever notice how fast Windows runs? Neither did I ... Speed kills! (Microsoft's Windows publicity slogan) For sale: Hourglass for timing Windows. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. ID: 315130 ·
