Thanks, Mr Cloasters. Looking forward to a few more, but it certainly belongs in 'Random Nonsense', doesn't it? :)

There is a lot of mystery surrounding his death, including a post indicating that he was going to commit suicide on Monday. This follows his arrest and release on bail Sunday in San Francisco: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/12/ian-murdock-father-of-debian-dead-at-42/...

We're here when you need us, m'man.

Cloasters, what's happening with this? Are you running?

George, I'm still not understanding why you feel you have to BUY a CD-ROM of Mint. Are you unable to burn a DVD or CD-ROM on a machine at your home?

@George Are you saying you were unsuccessful burning the .iso to a DVD?

No problem to burn it to a DVD and run it from there, George, same as before. For 64-bit Linux Mint: http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=172 Download the .iso file and burn it to a DVD, it's a 1.4G download. Then boot your machine with the DVD. If you like what you see, there are options...

I'm going to talk about George as if he's not here. I really, really want him to have a good Linux experience. He's an asset, and I want to get him over to this site posting full time like he used to on the old site. It looks like he's now getting ready to finally commit to the change. I'm...

I think you have to forget your past experiences with Gnome and Linux in general. Things have come so far, even in the 7 or 8 years I have used it extensively, that 15 year old memories are moot. As far as the environment goes, there are many, many choices. Everyone has his preference. I...

George, whatever distro you end up with, never fear. There are plenty of folks here to help out if you run into a problem, and there are no reasons at all to think about changing your nVidia card. It will work fine. Hey, if we were able to get Daniel running, you'll be a slam-dunk, lolz.

Slightly off-topic, but I'd like to see a guide on how to get Win7 going in VirtualBox in a Linux host. I've tried several times, but something comes up each time, and I haven't had the time to debug. I'm probably doing something simple incorrectly, but I'm not sure what. It might be...

One of the most famous messages in all computing was posted exactly 24 years ago today, on 25 August, 1991: Read more about the birth of Linux in the words of the boss [from arstechnica]: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/how-linux-was-born-as-told-by-linus-torvalds-himself/

I would think that you could set those startup variables directly from ~/.xinitrc as well, without an extra .sh file.

Lolz, then we'd better figure out how how to break stuff, then. Get to work, men.

I don't miss pulseaudio in the slightest. You have nothing to be sad about. I've been using alsa + jack, and it is brilliant for my purposes. No bugs at all that I have seen.
