Haha, there you go. NOOB OF THE WEEK !! :D
I'm starting to yawn.

Gouys Im thinkin of trying out a Distro amond the following, which one should I go for? My system Specs are too low for any new Distro. Using Xp Sp3 right now. Have used Ubuntu 7.04 on this rig pretty well but dont have it's CD anymore. :(
Okay here goes my rig;

Intel Celeron D 2.26 GHZ 256kB L2
256 MB DDR 333 MHz
ECS P4M800 Mobo with Via Chipset
NVidia Geforce FX5200 128MB
12GB Unpartitioned space for Linux. (I wanna dual boot)

And here are my choices;
Mandrive Linux One 2008.1
openSUSE 10.3
Freespire (Latest)
EasyS (Latest)
Ubuntu 8.04
SimplyMepis 7.0

Tell me the best choice for now. Also I'll be adding 512 MB shortly(10 Days or so?) so please tell me the best distro After I add 512 MB of RAM to make a total of 768 MB?

ALso I heard that Via chipsets will give me problems with Linux. I have a dedicated GFX card. Will it be a grave issue. Though openSUSE 10.3 and Ubuntu 7.04 worked fine.

Metalhead, you still up? I thought you usually cheated by going to bed early and post here after you got up for the day while us real insomniacs are still high on caffeine? Or is that only on weekdays?

Yup thats only on weekdays. And no, I don't cheat. I am still an insomniac by defination, since I can't sleep. I just CANT. Hence I wake up. So weather you wake then sleep or weather you sleep then wake, as long as you wake in the night you are an insomniac.

I know what BSODs are alright. And everyone has faced them sometime or the other. Just didn't know why posting those codes here was deemed suspicious by rhitwick.

@rhitwick: I now know why you wanted to warn me about that post of yours. I sure would have deleted that massive unformatted paragraph of junk! :D
Click to expand...
Everyone ? Not me. No Sir. I never EVER faced a BSOD. Windows hanged and crashed and rebooted, but never displayed a BSOD.

So you're telling me that my neighbour who wakes up at 5:30 a.m. every morning is an insomniac? You are a cheater who doesn't want to admit it.

Also, it is whether, and not weather.

5:30 AM is not night. Its more like early morning.
I wake up at 2:00 AM. Thats like the MIDDLE OF NIGHT. Because I can't continue sleeping.

And what about yesterday? You woke up @ 6 and started posting. That's not allowed.

I woke up at 3:30 FYKI. Just because I didn't report in at the same time, and instead decided to do something creative, it does not mean that I am a non follower of the cult of insomnia.

Metal did u check my last post....??
U've got a link there.......

Thats plain stupid. You can't generalise "rock" as it is. Comparing a Heavy Metal hit like Enter Sandman with a soft rock hit like Nothing Else Matters is IDIOTICITY.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

The world's BEST firefox theme, noia 2.0 eXtreme, is once again usable in Firefox since it got ported only recently, to Firefox 3.x. :D

boohoohoo :(.....

What's the actual purpose of this thread? I thought that people are so responsive in the thread and posted my query. Now I dont have any takers at all??

Is it because of my post count of 40? Man I'm not a nooby. :mad: Infact Im not even new to the forum itself...

Maybe to make a list of 100, those poor guys couldnt find so many songs fitting one category totally. And Rock is Rock. By 100 Greatest it should have meant 100 greatest; not top 100 like a merit list. Thats what I feel.
