Good OS - Built on Ubuntu Debian Linux

If you refurbish old PCs and you don't want the expense of providing Windows XP or Vista, download this FREE OS and install it on the system instead.

Ubuntu - Debian Linux

So you think Windows is too buggy and non-secure and you wish there was something different to use. Well now there is.



http://www.ubuntu.com/

There are things Windows will do better, and there is more software available. In spite of that, you will find Ubuntu (Debian Linux) to be very useful and the price is right. It's FREE with no strings attached. Ubuntu is an open source, Linux-based operating system that works great for laptops, desktops and servers yes SERVERS.

When you install it you will have many of the applications you need - a web browser, Open Office Suite (presentation, word processor, database and spreadsheet software), instant messaging and much more. You also have access to more software from the repositories absolutely FREE!!!

I use Ubuntu 7.10 on my Pentium 3 equivalent (Cyrex 3) machine and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on my Athlon 64 machine. I use Windows XP on my AMD Sempron (the old Athlon) machine.

I got all of them for FREE. I downloaded 7.10 from http://www.ubuntu.com/, Canonical (the European headquarters) sent me 8.04 (free of charge, no postage) and Microsoft gave away pre-release copies of XP to developers (back when I use to do IT work).

I like Ubuntu and would recommend XP over Vista for now.

I hope the plans for the future of Akron, Ohio will move south towards the Firestone/Bridgestone building. I hope the people that have the job are smart enough to see they can't keep the focus on the 'downtown area'. There are two things that make this a bad idea.

1. The University of Akron is taking up as much space as they can get and are spilling into the downtown area (Main Street that is. The university is kind of in the downtown region of the city).

2. The hospitals are taking up as much space as they can get. All four hospitals are in the downtown region of the city. There is no more space in the downtown area for growth unless they start raising buildings. If they do that the university or the hospitals will want the space.

This makes looking at the downtown area as the place for growth foolish at best. South Akron is the best place for growth. Tall buildings will not interfere with the helicopters going to the hospitals and it is far enough away from Akron Fulton Airport as not to cause a problem with aviation.

Most of the commercial property north and west of the Firestone/Bridgestone building is un-used or dilapidated. Many of the houses are vacant and boarded up. As you go east of the Firestone/Bridgestone building you will find much the same thing. This is a large area between Lakeshore Blvd and Switzer Ave.

I don't think they will listen to me, however, I know I'm right on this one.

cj1404 loves iTV

Hello All;

Internet TV is good way to see shows that would require Sat. or Cable if you don't have DSL, and gives fair quality.

These are a few of the Internet TV (iTV) sites that exist:

In2Streams.com/, formerly Streamwired.com, introductory price of $9.99 for your first month. No downloads or stream ripping allowed. This is a PAY relay site. They have links to sites that stream the TV shows. This is common for many TV sites.

hvstv.com Packages start at $6.99 per month, no downloads or stream ripping allowed. This is a PAY relay site.

tv-irc.net/ Downloading requires mIRC from http://www.mirc.com.

http://alluc.org This is a FREE relay site. They have links to sites that stream the TV shows.


These have been shutdown by the MPAA:

Tamal.tv (one of the few that allowed downloads and stream ripping)
ess.tv
myIBNet.com

Hello All!

This is my first post to see how this thing works.

You will find strange things under this one.
