BY the Way, do anyone of you know any free Defrag software that

defraging the internal smaller drives on my laptop.
Maybe UltraDefrag?
http://ultradefrag.sourceforge.net/
Will try it.
I have used Smart Defrag [my default one I install on every Win computer
I work on]
and Auslogics Disk Defrag.
Those are/were the only two free ones that I have tried, or knew about.
I never had more than a 160 gig drive, other than Linux, so never came
across the problems before.
Thanks. People here always know of the best open source [or free]
software to use.
I make sure I keep my family and friends up to date on OOo and other
free software.
I have a lady that is going from a desktop with MS Office on it, to a
laptop and she may
not want me to do the hassle of transferring MSO to the laptop NOW that
OOo 3.2.1 is
on it and she has used it many times in the past few weeks. She got it
the day the email
notice about 3.2.1 came in my inbox. So she it up-to-date on her Win
Vista laptop.
Wish Ubuntu/Debian would update their repository for OOo to 3.2.1. They
just had an update
for OOo come a few days after 3.2.1 came out, but it still looks like
there was no change in the
build number[s] in the "About" menu. Had to wait for the 10.04 upgrade
before I could get 3.2.0
and fix the Debian Toolbar Viewing problems. The Upgrading to 3.2.0 did
not fix it, but when I
had to wipe the OS and start fresh, not update/upgrade from 9.10 Debian
repository version of
OOo, the error/problems were no longer there. But Linux, as a USA
nation, has only about 10%
overall computer users running "any" distro of Linux. I heard of a 5%
of Mac users, nation wide.
So Linux distro version of software get the shaft with most developers,
except here with OOo.
I wish I could get the drivers and software apps to be able to control
my Firewire link to my
Sony camcorder or my USB Video/TV capture box [ATI TV Wonder 650] to
work on Linux.
That is one of the only things left for me to "Need" a Windows machine.
All the rest of mine
is Linux now. I cannot even get a VM version of XP to access the USB or
Firewire ports to
run the software in a Virtual Machine of Windows on my Ubuntu desktop,
or get WINE to run
the software as well. If I could get it working, then I could dump MS's
crap completely, except
for the VM or WINE actions for those few software. I have a dual core
laptop running 32-bit Vista
that I would love to run 64-bit Ubuntu [even 64-bit Win 7 would be OK].
I have a wireless mouse
that will work on Ubuntu - no problems - but Vista does not see it is
there with its plug and play
that it states works with MS.
Mac made their OS from a version of Linux, since it was supported better
than their old OS, and
there was so much out there that did not need them to write drivers
for. Wish there would be more
companies making drivers for Linux. Sony feels like anyone who runs
Linux is a "techie" and
either would not use their cameras/camcorders with the Linux environment
or could write the
drivers themselves. That from a tech support reply. Why don't they
realize, like the OOo community,
that Linux is becoming used by more and more people who are upset with
MS. Seems like
they do not even have Mac options, since most video and graphics
companies use Mac workstations,
so Sony do not seem to think these people will use their products either.
HERE people will tell you that Windows, Linux, and Mac users should all
be thought of as equals
for software and hardware driver needs. OOo developers work to provide
the needs for ALL users,
not just the ones that Billy-Boy sells his OS to.
