The Ubuntu install crashed? Hmm... If you like Knoppix you could also try Freespire, or Mandriva, or SUSE (choosing KDE instead of GNOME).
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
With both Windows and the Ubuntu crashing, I'm wondering if it's a disk (hardware) problem....

Okay, that's it. I fell victim. I'm in the process of installing ubuntu on one of my machines. In a short time my desktop will have three computers with three different operating systems running and no less than 4 LCD monitors shining away. I think I need help.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think I need help.
More OSes than people is a perfectly normal state!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
More OSes than people is a perfectly normal state!In my family it is cars, but the same law.
Perfectly normal...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I have a new Mac edit station at work, and I'd like for the tower to be farther away from the monitor than the included monitor cable currently allows. Does Apple sell extension monitor cables? I can't find any on the Apple site, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right place...

It's not hard to find DVI extension cables.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
So I'm better off buying separate DVI, USB, and Firewire extension cables than trying to do all three at once? Off to Staples!
