Why Shutterfly must die

The original picture isn't just cute little Zoe on a playground backdrop.

It's cute little Zoe with these big white BLOBS on the side of the picture that Shutterfly sticks there to screw with my Dad when he prints.

Linux on the internet, Part Deux

Hah.

Who'd'a thunk it.

I called up my ISP and just asked them to have me taken off the dialler. And they just said YES.

Are we the only country in the world that has to "dial-up" ADSL or cable?

That means now I'll be able to plug in anything and get internet.

Like my wireless router, for instance, which can't dial a cable modem.

Or a linux box, which can't (easily) dial a cable modem.

Hooray, baby!

Things that suck

And don't tell me it's not represetative. It's irrelevant -- for the community, these forums are the ONLY source of support, for software that doesn't work right out of the box for the average user.

setting up linux for the internet

It's a shame, that linmagazine has dead links.
That I can't really find articles on the 'net for setting up linux on the internet, without already being connected to the internet. In other words, I need a seperate computer and have to have networking running on them.

Which I don't seem to be, for some reason.

so what do I do now?

fedora, part II

This looks a lot like Ubuntu. I don't think there's going to be much difference in managing this system, since they're both running GNOME window manager. I like that KDE is really slick, and windows like, but it's not really comfortable for me. The GNOME system works better in my opinion.

Let's see the options we have. First, I need some food.

linux, Fedora Core

I've installed Fedora Core onto my desktop.

I backed up my windows partition first, I hope I can get into it in the future. God help us all if I can't. No not really.
Impressions: Install was pretty smooth. Need to note, in case you have more than one network device, what make your network card is and which one is connected to the internet. Then you have to fiddle with DHCP settings. Not for the faint of heart.

Firewall was pretty straightforward -- if you don't know what the service is, then you don't need it (Telnet? No thanks. Ain't no one getting in on port 110 on MY computer.)

Now I'm onto a screen that deals with SELinux. This is some security enhanced crap, that I might understand, but we're looking for something the regular user can grasp. This is not it.

my suggestion -- leave it as is.

now it's running some configur--- oooh! It's up. Nice login screen.mui importante.
