Vector Linux 6.0 KDE Classic final grade = A+++

And that’s it . The problems with VL 6 KDE C seem to be in the programs, and not with Linux. Like Amarok, updating and then telling me that my playlists can no longer be played, because it can’t read them ? Amarok is a great music player. But, geez. I still use it.

One of my final tweaks was to add shortcuts to my desktop for the image and text editors that i prefer. When 3 programs have similar names that all start with a K , its hard to remember what i like.

A final word on Linux; make user accounts, do not use your root account all the time. And now, the ‘oddball’ , why i still use Windows :

Video editing, and using dual monitors. Haven’t tried duals in Linux yet.

Editing files on my C drive. Windows will give you a checksum error on

bootup IF you change anything , modify a file , etc, from Linux.

Therefore, I simply use a ‘common’ folder on the data partition.

But don’t put that ‘common’ folder on your Windows C: .

Games,games,games. Now, all the Java games and flash games I like

can be played in Linux…but my Windows games require Direct X .

I’m too ‘n00b’ to work with WINE, and haven’t tried DOS Box either.

One of these days, we will experiment. As for security,I have never trusted Windows. Not even Win98, when my IE (5) was hijacked. And i became a Netscape user. Alas, I miss being able to ‘customize’ the colors, but at least Firefox lets you install themes. I don’t install FF themes in Linux, yet.
