What do I use Linux for? Well, my [business] machine is a medium-spec PC running Ubuntu 8.04LTS. Why? Because it does all the things I need it to do! <BR>
For example:<BR>
Office - Open Office.<BR>
Accounts.<BR>
CAD (QCAD).<BR>
Email. etc. etc.<BR>
Plus numerous Office Macros and scripts to monitor stock exchange share prices.<BR>
<BR>
The PC itself was rescued from being put in the skip mainly because it has a V1.0 motherboard that has NO supported Window$ drivers for it. Linux - no problem. On-board NIC, Video and sound work fine. Wireless card OK, appart from the annoying keyring password request every boot - does anyone know how to get rid of this? <BR> <BR>> From: sderby-request@mailman.lug.org.uk<BR>> Subject: Sderby Digest, Vol 170, Issue 2<BR>> To: sderby@mailman.lug.org.uk<BR>> Date: Tue, 12 May 2009 12:00:02 +0000<BR>> <BR>> Send Sderby mailing list submissions to<BR>> sderby@mailman.lug.org.uk<BR>> <BR>> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<BR>> https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/sderby<BR>> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<BR>> sderby-request@mailman.lug.org.uk<BR>> <BR>> You can reach the person managing the list at<BR>> sderby-owner@mailman.lug.org.uk<BR>> <BR>> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<BR>> than "Re: Contents of Sderby digest..."<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Today's Topics:<BR>> <BR>> 1. what do we use Linux for?
