Linux OS and Everything Else

Where is everyone getting XP Antivirus? So many people are getting infected with this thing right now - you can call it a virus or malware or extortion who knows? Some people think Microsoft is trying to get them to buy it because it has the letters XP in it. Windows XP Service Pack 3 still seems to be causing problems right now. I am only installing this on new builds that are not AMD. Linux is finally easing it’s way into the mainstream - I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing. With the Asus mini laptops really catching on , now several other companies are going to release similar products with Linux. At this moment I bounce between Vista, XP, and 3 versions of Linux : Freespire, Ubuntu, and Puppy - they all work great for me but I tend to be in XP overall more than the others with Puppy being the next. I like Puppy because I can play with it - in a technical nature - and the boot time is extraordinary.

Dragon Puppy Linux is still beating everything else I try. Lately I have burned and booted Vector Live 5.9 and Wolvix. Both Failing my tests. Most important is for sound to work in YouTube. This did not work in Dragon either upon first boot but I tinkered and using Seamonkey it works (props to seamonkey). Since I already have my saved dragon file on my Ubuntu pc I don’t feel like tinkering with these other distro’s that don’t work. Wolvix did look nice and had all the other apps I need already pre-loaded so others may be able to use it, I tried the Hunter edition. But as I said - for the moment Dragon Puppy Linux is my main Linux of the moment. I am never fully satisfied so I will probably burn and test more distro’s soon. Although, it may end up being other versions of Puppy. I just checked the Dr. Bill (The Computer Curmudgeon) website to see if he has tried or said anything about Puppy Linux yet. I had told him about it last year. Still looks like he’s staying away from it. Watched some rare Kiss footage on YouTube using Dragon Puppy Linux with Seamonkey tonight worked great! I like the mmorpg games - specifically the free ones you find all around now - games like Sword of the New World - too bad these don’t work in Linux - the fact that I cannot play these games in Linux and there is still no good - “ACID Type multitracker” for Linux - still keeps me chained to Microsoft. Glad XP still works - Vista sounds aweful.
