Oh hell yes. Trust Daniel on this; I had him on Fedora for a while. What a bleedin' NIGHTMARE! (for me). One of the happiest days of my life was when Daniel found Mint. :)

Well, OK, but at least TRY to be gentle. I like to think I'm at least TRYING to be enlightened, even if I fail miserably at it most of the time, LOL. So, this seems pretty simple; the wife is giving the monk grief about the money he gives to poor people. Now, granting that 'poor' has...

I dunno, seems pretty straightforward to me, but being as it's zen, that most likely means I've completely missed the point. :)

Ouch!

I don't know, I thought Rose had a right pretty singing voice, and she was pretty easy on the eyes, too.... /me ducks

The video card (regardless of whether it is used for 3D rendering or not) is responsible for taking data in memory and converting it to something that can be displayed. At its simplest, it's some logic to retrieve data from memory, and a character PROM which maps the character codes retrieved...

Cece is engaged to a rather nice young man (oh dear Lord, did I just say that? I'm sounding like a little old lady from the 50's). She's just recently been promoted to Assistant Manager at her work. Anna is, well, Anna and 7 years old. She's an imp, and she's My Most Favoritest 7-year-old...

Oh, I've taught him 8-ball and 9-ball. Not Snooker though, no-one around here has a decent Snooker table any more.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Zen (AMD's new CPU). The fact that Intel just recently released a Core i3 that is a quad-core chip (the only one in their i3 lineup) that is also multiplier-unlocked, as well as cutting prices on some of their other chips, suggests to me that Intel is not...

He's about 2 inches shorter than me now, LOL.

He's 16 now. He's my 'mini-me', LOL.

Intel and AMD have a cross-licensing agreement. Intel gets to use AMD's 64-bit extensions, and AMD gets to build x86-compatible chips.

So, my son's laptop is a little long in the tooth, and running on an nVidia Quadro FX 2800M (it's my old laptop). This was a powerful video chip back in the day, but 'the day' was around 2010 or so (it's based on the G92 core, roughly equivalent to a GeForce 9600 GT or Radeon HD 5670). The...

Did you install a 64-bit version of Mint? The AMD64 updates are probably referring to 64-bit-specific stuff. The 64-bit instruction set we use (even on Intel) these days was invented by AMD.

That link is to a private conversation, not a forum post. That's why you get the error.

I assume you've got an AMD CPU? The AMD64 updates are referring to the CPU, not the video card.

I use Fedora (just upgraded to F25), but I'm not sure I'd recommend it to someone just getting started, mainly because it defaults to Gnome 3, which IMO is just horrid (but that's my opinion). However, I use F25 with Cinnamon, and as Boo says, Cinnamon is VERY nice.

Ah, OK. I think the original complaint was not being able to access all features until 25 posts. While I admit that is a bit annoying, it is intended to be; it's purpose is to discourage those who would post disingenuously. The limit is never actually enforced if we can help it. When we see...

Matrox made some rather nice vid cards back in the day. But then they got complacent and COMPLETELY missed the 3D rendering movement. By the time they caught back up, upstarts like nVidia and AMD ruled the roost. Matrox are still around, but they focus on very niche markets now, mostly...

I'm confused. Are you not seeing the 'Edit' link right below your post, as seen above?
