h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Quick update then...

Ictoan came round a week/two weeks ago can't remember exactly and helped my build my new computer. Which is working brilliantly. I installaed windows 7 today, orederd usinga mazons epress delivery bit they sent it standard delivery still I got the express delivery cost back. Thanks to Ictoan for elping me get it set up and working

so all working except the 'a' and 'h' keys then?

Which version of 7 did you get?

And has your silence been due to playing games/watching vids or revision/exams?

Yep, those keys need "special" drivers

I got Home Premium as all the other stuff I don't need, silence has been down to ganes and videos, all my exams are out of the way now. I got myself a HDMI to HDMI cable fom morrisons the other day, cost 8 quid, nice gold plated connectors etc

I installed the 32bit version even though the 64bit came with it. Wasn't sure if there was much point with 64bit at the moment?

Have you tried out the XTM mod yet?

not really, most of your games prob won;t work with 64bit anyway.
Worth a play sometime thougg

Not had time to XTM yet, installed it but not played it.

Ictoan if you create a folder called {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} you get the so called "god mode" folder. It's a folder with links to just about everything you can do in windows, but it's stuff that's hard to find in control panel.

What happened to Mint?btw

mint wasn't working to great with the drivers I needed, nut that may have been my fault. Long story

But, I nicked my old laptop harddrive and i'm using that as well so I shall probably put Haiku OS on there soon

Hahemm!http://www.debian.org/

Ahh-hahemm!!http://packages.debian.org/stable/


Ahh-ha-hahemm!!!!!http://packages.debian.org/stable/games/

For example:

A quick diversion maybe?

http://packages.debian.org/stable/games/armagetronad

or

There's enough room for two distros

(the last link: win32 .exe just a click away )

I hope you enjoy your boxes - whatever op sys they are running.



(just food for thought Pingu-25,000 packages of quality software )

Before I even choose the distro I need to get some cd's

Some: "music to watch downloads with"
