I can see what you mean in the last couple of emails, and while I have no intention of getting in an online debate or argument with you, the person who suggested I buy a new modem was a road I have no intention of going down and a comment which should not have been made.
If I can not get Linux to work with the equipment I have then I will revert back to Windows and remove Linux from my system. Personally I do not have a clue how to get the modem going, but will bring it along to the next meeting if it is not working already. (Of course with my box) As a further comment I believe I am reasonably intelligent guy who is computer savvy but reading the message boards on various Linux user groups is TOTALLY over my head. -----Original Message----- From: Reg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 4:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Have you spare time today help with Ubuntu 5.10 configure Burwood Parklands area Nothing in this world is free :-) I have just spent the best part of several days mucking around with Open Suse, trying to get my mouse to work again after it was all going fine to start with. Ok it has not cost me anything in dollar terms, but it cost me a lot of my time that I could have been doing something else. The good thing is I learned a lot about linux in the process, but I could have paid a professional to fix it for me in less time. I think it comes down to choice. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bernard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, 17 April 2006 4:01 p.m. > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Have you spare time today help with Ubuntu 5.10 configure Burwood Parklands area > > Just a thought > > I was under the impression that Linux was free? > > So while I do not mind shouting a few beers for someone or offering some service in return, why would I pay $60.00 call out fee or buy a > new modem? > > Seems to defeat the whole purpose of the system? > > Or have I missed something? > > -- > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.385 / Virus Database: 268.4.2/314 - Release Date: 4/16/2006 > -- No virus found in this incoming message.
