Keese is now Linux friendly!
Forward: I am Linux's bitch.
About a year ago Threethirty told me about the awesomeness of Linux. He told the of the idea, the benefits of using it, and even the downfalls. I decided it would be a great thing to try out. I mean it's free (as in beer) so what the hell. I played with it for a little while but started to hate it because I was using a wireless adapter, which is a pain to get working. Then I upgraded my computer, and Linux yelled at me. Told me that X Server Failed to start. I had no idea what the problem was, and I even boggled Threethirty and Pegwole's minds with the issue.
Two days ago, was my first day at my Linux/Unix Administration class. For homework we were to burn a live CD-ROM with Knoppix on it as well as get the version of linux that came with the book onto our home computers. This wasn't much of a problem as I've had too much experience already burning Linux disks, and I was saving the Linux partition for a rainy day. It was there that I figured out the out the cause and solution to my X Server problem. I have a nVidia GeFirce FX 5500, and it turns out Linux didn't like seeing it. So I pulled it, and now I'm as happy as a kid in a candy store, I've been using it since I've installed it, and love it!
