Kompozer

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

:notworthy: Thanks LC - I shall investigate ... Presumably located in Synaptic?
(so it is! - He He!)

- Which version of Linux do you use pretty please? I'm with Mint Daryna presently, largely because of its driver support for nVidia Graphics Cards and wide screens!

I use Kubuntu (nVidia drivers come with the default install - I use an nVidia card)

Yeah, Quanta Plus is in the Synaptic Package Manager.

I haven't installed Flash (it's tricky on 64-bit linux, and I've never felt the need). It's OK when used sparingly and in the right circumstances (I understand why YouTube use it, for example), but all-Flash sites are an abomination.

Ok, and not to worry, I won't inflict it on you ... Not that anyone is ever likely to see my feeble attempts should I ever get around to floating them ...

Getting & setting up a new computer is an ordeal these days.. not that it's particularly hard to do (I mostly install the same set of programs I have been using for the last decade on a variety of hardware architectures and systems, with updated versions, of course) but it's the frustratingly depressive hopelessness that clutches your soul when you see the utter crap that is peddled to us to pass off as 21st century software (and that includes all of Windoze, MacDOS and Lignux/Unix, where the latter is probably the most bearable still.) Where's the HAL9000, the blinking, shiny, homicidal AI we were promised. Where's the point? Even a 70ies command prompt on a serial terminal is more advanced for an intellectual mind than the incredibly dumb but shiny passive-end-consumer TV-style interface that is being hyped today. Disgusting. Welcome to zapper's heaven and hacker's hell. Welcome to Idiot Technology.

LLL is great - just stay well clear of ATI - nVidia only (graphics cards)! Linux is free, you gets loads of techy help, all the peeps are friendly, and it has a very bright future ... The 'transition' from Windoze or Mac ain't always trouble-free, but that's life, eh? Laptops/Ultraportables with a version of Lovely Luscious Linux pre-installed are a breeze - You can read/edit all of your .doc(x) & .jpeg files immediately and surf the 'net too ... Oh, and probably most important here: listen to your .wav & .mp3 files ...

:notworthy: to Linux :wink:

I was referring to the new Acer Aspire One Ultraportable (Linux versions of course!) ...

Nothing wrong with Powerbooks at all, if you already have one or the money for a new one & Photoshop etc., but I don't and perhaps not all HL-ers do either?! Ultraportables or Laptop equivalents are getting really cheap now, and do practically all that you do ... Just an observation you understand ...

Aldi is a great store too for us impoverished but discerning types, but then again that is an advantage we Europeans have over Yankee Doodles, eh?!
