No question - just a comment

Yaba Daba Doo - Hi all my fellow Geeks. I think most people think Geek when they think of Linux, but I'm seeing many things are much easier here in this world compared to doing things in Windows.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the good advice I've been given and warn you there may be more questions coming. I'm setting up AntiX labs with Citrix running to replace XP systems in a school environment. I'm only a temp here in the school system and nobody else is getting familiar with the AntiX (is that job security?). __{{emoticon}}__

Anyway, I have one lab done (24 systems) and working on the next 24. Just found out there are only 224 more to go with different requests coming up for what they do. Yesterday I sat here going through several AntiX YouTube tutorial's and learning everything I wanted to know but was afraid to ask about it.

Cheers all.

Welcome and Howdy! I thought that sounded familiar. Suburb of S.A., TX. Spent several years at Kelly back in the 1960's over there. Welcome to the Madhouse.

Ain't that just right? I just picked up a Laptop in the sales with Windoze 8.1 on. I hadn't used Windoze since 2K, and you get even less for your money now, and it still crashes every time you do anything with it. __{{emoticon}}__

I'm putting antix on it as soon as I can figure out how the hell how. __{{emoticon}}__

Windoze is a complete nightmare.

That Laptop now has (only) antix on it. I gave windoze a week and it was just pissing me right off.

I gave up when I saw Vista, it lasted all of 2 hours before getting wiped. __{{emoticon}}__

Right, I've fixed the sound and the wifi, so:
