Unnecessary step backward if you can get more satisfaction by installing Julia

Time to ditch Ubuntu

Happy new year 2011 to all my penguin and devil friends here, and tomorrow is my birthday. This evening I am going to reinstall again my LMDE to it's new hd.

hoyaaaa!

Thanks for the wish, and the same goes to you for yr coming PMR. My eldest son just took his result, not too god but not too poor

@G-17 thanks

and to all, happy new year 2011!

I am reinstall again my LMDE 64, I am able to minimised the ugliness of desktop font but as usual the firefox fonts still bothering me.

Boleh aja cuba, cuma memerlukan sikit tahan mental sbb debian ada sikit berat dia punya susah berbanding Julia.

Tengok apa mint punya developer cakap

The iso dvd is a live dvd and installer as well. The things is, we won't feel the real kick if run from live session.

A DVD of course, heard that 32bit version is buggy and if you still want to use it, they will respin and release somewhere this month. However the 64bit free of bugs. Currently, do not download the 32bit unless the new spin is release. Read here http://blog.linuxmint.com/

LMDE is really something, their 32bit release is full of problem, sad.

I reinstall my LMDE 64bit again, will feed it with liquorix tonite.

Streamyx at my area is superb, I don't have any complaints so far. I am on 1mbps acc but my 'inside' friend tweak something at their side and I am getting constant speed of almost 2mbps all the time

1MBPS vs 1mbps?

Added on January 1, 2011, 10:56 pmok, I messed something with liquorix, some incompatibility occurred between liquorix and nvidia driver 195xx, top cursor just blinking without any display... no problem with legacy 173xx. It happened twice, removed liquorix and revert back to stock kernel, now I can have my display back. The second issue, I am not able to boot into LMDE from openSUSE's legacy GRUB, changing the boot order and using LMDE's GRUB, everything just fine. This would be a loooong night configuring the GRUB setting, the same setting that worked earlier, does not working now. The thing is, I love openSUSE's legacy GRUB!

Told ya, I hate playing with GRUB.

whoaa so many problems you got there with Mint, I think you have been cursed!

I installed Mint 10 into 1 Acer Aspire, few HP netbooks and 1Malaysia netbook... so far no problem.

4920 not too old lah...

ahh what a day! I spent most of the hours configuring openSUSE. oh man, grub error, fstab config etc etc... going to sleep earlier tonite.

I have spent my times with LMDE, not really a user friendly when come into defining the partition especially dual boot with other OS within the same HD. The most annoyed is font in firefox, tried all the suggestions and scripts but only working for some and not to the other areas. Even with best the fonts but with the 22" lcd screen I am using now, the incorrect rendering fonts still haunting me. It maybe good for a smaller 14" laptop screen. I am going back to Julia.

I want to boot into LMDE from openSUSE's grub but for the unknown reason I am not able to do it after few weeks using it. Here is my post at the opensuse forum http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-hel...-boot-lmde.html

Don't want to use LMDE GRUB as openSUSE's one is much faster and neat looking too. --sigh--

all gui, with no text... but if you want to look like a hacker you can always enable the text mode to appear by removing any vga=0x317 word at kernel parameter. In December every year, the GRUB will change itself into pic of penguins with santa claus hat playing with the snow all over the screen. Now January, no longer santa penguin.

4.7gb is a time consumed of downloading, the good are under a hood of a DVD, you'll get KDE, Gnome and other.. offline dependencies, thousands of apps...

Yes you can at different installation of partition, or run it within the same OS but you'll find tonnes of 2 native files of KDE and Gnome under the same root. To get run either KDE or gnome, logout and choose what desktop you want and login again but it will be a really messy desktop. The new openSUSE 11.4 will be launch this March, better wait for that as today they are at Milestone 5 level, the 6 will ne the final version.

No longer LMDE, showing Julia a way back to her palace. I wish to stay longer with LMDE do to it's rolling release which we do save our time from downloading new iso for each new release. And openSUSE is following suit as the developers are working on a project called Tumbleweed http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project...1/msg00206.html started with this coming 11.4, openSUSE is going to introduce the rolling release distribution.

I don't know if openSUSE is using plymouth as Ubuntu does, openSUSE is using legacy GRUB opposed to GRUB2 by Mint. Plymouth is not working against LMDE if I am not mistaken.
