Pioneer Linux

I can’t say enough good things about Pioneer Linux. If anyone out there try’s different linux distros for fun, or is just trying to find that perfect one to fit their needs, then I recommend that you check out Pioneer Linux. Here is the site address http://www.tapioneer.com/. I just use the free basic one but the paid ones look like they might be good too if you can afford to get them. No Linux distro is perfect yet and I believe gamers for the most part still need to run Windows. Other people are just brainwashed by society and think that anything beyond Windows is just too hard. But for the rest of us it works just fine and it’s free. Ubuntu seems to get all the attention and I agree it is good and solid - but Pioneer is worth a look as well. I have barely used any other os since installing it this time.

Live One Care 0X04601C01

Today I experienced the 0X04601C01 error while trying to run a live one care safety scan. It would not start and generated that error. The suggestion at that point was to check the forums for a solution. So I tried that, ha ha. A lot of people seemed to be searching for a solution but I saw no solution, one post read see post 101 for the answer , I quickly tried finding post 101 but that seemed to also be impossible. So next I searched google - nothing there either. I had to solve it myself. This was a Windows XP Pro SP2 pc with the problem - and it was the free scanner not the paid version. I then tried a repair install of Windows XP Pro on the problematic pc then ran all my windows updates. And, what do you know , that solved the problem for me. Now I can happily run the free safety scan again with no dreaded 0X04601C01 errors. Hope this helps if anyone else has this problem.

Jalbum

Here is a great little tool if you do anything with photos on your website. Check out Jalbum at http://jalbum.net/. It is free and there are extremely cool themes that people have uploaded that you are free to use. I personally like the one where you can flip through photos. See my use of it on the Salem Country Club site at http://www.salemcountryclub.net/ check out the pictures section. Something else awesome is that it works under linux!! I have been using Pioneer Linux for almost everything I do. For website design and maintenance I am running Kompozer , Filezilla FTP client , and Jalbum all under Pioneer Linux - Works Great!! And I listen to shoutcast streams on my Audacious Player!! Linux rocks!
Check out Pioneer Linux if you have not - it is rockin. Here is the link for that one http://www.tapioneer.com/.

Myah OS

I have tested Myah OS recently with pretty good results - I won’t say it is the best os I have ever used but it is very good. I had tried out the live cd and was impressed so I installed it. However, there are some issues - the Firefox Browser seems to have crazy issues all the time. I tried using other browsers , like Konquerer instead but the results were no better. One example is the Hulu website , when I typed in the address www.hulu.com the Firefox browser shut down on me. This site works fine on my Ubuntu machine using Firefox. I am not entirely sure it is the fault of Myah because the hardware on that machine is weak compared to my Ubuntu PC. Maybe it’s the hardware , I can’t be sure. I still have to say I have used no better Linux distribution than Ubuntu. I have tried many.
