2 Days in Frustration
Prior Warning and Reminder that i'm a Geek. and that is what my blog is about.
Linux looks beautiful. Ubuntu looks like even more fun; The thing that's cracking me down in this big fight is that I can't get it to read my wireless internet card on my desktop. I CAN'T EVEN GET IT TO GO ON THE INTERNET! AND THAT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING OF LINUX
I've been up till 0430 in the morning for the past two days trying all these commands at the kernel and reading up in Forums, and it's still not kicking in. It reminds me of the old days when I was just starting to understand Windows lol. I think that's what compells me to be such a nerd though. I won't stop until I fix it. Especially if it's a electrical problem.
In my opinion I find Linux more fun though and personal, only because it's really interactive with the user, I feel like it's going to be a actual part of me plus you feel ultra cool running commands that it listens to. Once I get Linux to work though it will be so beautiful. I need to get it down before I start my computer project, because I plan on making one lol. I'll keep you guys updated step by step.
All in all, the parts will cost me around 1000 but it will be 3.0Ghz Intel Core Duo 2 Processor, 4GB Ram (3GB working ram), 512M Radeon HD 128-Bit GDDR3, 1TB SATA, And a bomb ass Case. Everything is gonna be red also, inside and outto complete my nerdiness. I think i'm kicking it up because I don't feel like buying a new computer for another 5 years. Plus Final Fantasy XIII Is coming out for the PC also lol. And i still gotta save up for a PS3
i'm not so worried about the PS3 though, only because I really haven't been playing any games lately. I wonder why. Hmmm.
I'll be able to show you guys step by step of my project because i'll be spending 300 on parts a month. lol. I can't round this money up out of my asshole and just go buy things sadly. Being broke is whack. Other expensive buys would have to be a scooter ($3700), PS3 ($500), New Car ($XXXXX) and Vacation ($XXXX) lol. More on those in soon to come blogs.
Thank you for hearing me out. I'm waiting on Joesan to help me out with linux that asshole. He's the one who got me all up in it and then he bails in helping me out. Probably laughing at me like a failed experiment.I WILL BEAT YOU TO FUNCTION LINUX AND I'M GOING TO ABUSE THE HELL OUT OF YOU ONCE I GET YOU TO WORK. MARK MY WORDS.

robbie!!! welcome to Linux!!! I used to have Edubuntu before the hardware on my laptop crapped out.. LOL.. Ubuntu is like a hybrid of Mac and XP - at least it was to me.. =D .. the GUI and the virtual desktops are so much nicer to deal with than in windows.. ok.. HAHAHA.. that's enough of my geekdom..
oOo, btw, which version are you using now? have you checked the driver for your wireless card? maybe it didn't install correctly since you switched to Linux? or you probably know all of that already.. HAHAHA.. hmm.. i usually found that the documents helped me out a lot cause I would end up forgetting to do the basic steps.. LOL
