I think he means we're devolving in the sense of our education. School is getting more and more easy, which I can't agree with at all.

Are we really going to start this all over again?

I play piano...

Not at all, as I posted earlier, though I'd still enjoy for it to be usable... Er...internet still isn't working. This is frustrating, I even hardwired it and I couldn't access the internet...

Yeah, that's probably why I completely missed the point on the first read-through

Perhaps we could better help you if you tell us what this is for

Ok, so I've figured out the problem with my internet. I don't think it recognizes my sister's network card. It's a Belkin Wireless Notbook Network Card, and the model is F5D7010. Anyone have any suggestions to get it working? I've looked around online a bit, but I haven't found anything useful yet.

Evolution and Astrophysics are two very different fields...

If you recommend it, I'll most likely get it (One teh internet starts working). but is it easier to use or something?

OK, thanks for the apt-install command, as soon as I get teh internet working I'll do it. Actually, Ubuntu seems to running a lot smoother than XP, so I still don't know if I need to switch. Unfortunately the Internet still isn't working, but I'm trying to fix that...I think I need a driver for the network card...which is a bit of a problem...

Hm. This is a rather interesting link I found about it. (Say hello to my new desktop background) http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_827.html

Ok, I resurrected my sister's laptop (don't ask, I removed teh battery, replaced it, and then after attempting to turn it on several times, the screen flickered on), and installed Ubuntu on it. So far it's working fine, I'm just trying to get internet, but that shouldn't be a problem anymore...at least I'm off teh LiveCD. If I want to downgrade to Xubuntu because of the awfulness of the laptop, is there a way to do it without having to uninstall Ubuntu, and then install Xubuntu? Or is that just wishful thinking?

Ok, Here's what I got under Network (I'm transcribing this as best I can from the recently resurrected laptop!) *-network description: Ethernet Interface Product: 3c905c-TX/TX-M (tornado) Vendor: 3Com Corporation physical ID: 1 bus info: pci@0000:02:01.0 logical name: eth0 version: 78 width: 32 bits clock: 33 mhz capabilites: bus_master cap_liost ethernet physica; config: boradcast=yes driver=3c59x latency 80 and that's all I can write for now. Is that enough? or is there more I should copy down?

Well, what do you mean by 'fill-ins'...cosmic inflation could be wrong, we just have no way of knowing.

I hate to say it, Graviphoton, but you're really asking for trouble now...

Ok, so basically the latest version of Ubuntu will just walk through the dual-booting? I don't have to do any reformatting or anything? I'm still a tad skeptical if I want to go through with it, after all, I don't really know the advantages of having Ubuntu over XP. Not to mention I don't really know what apt-install is, or how to use it.

er...There are several types of Benefiber, so in my free time I'm doing so more research for you. Do you know the one she's recommending? If not, I'll just look through and I'll find which one seems good to take. (or rather, not good, but beneficial). So far it seems to be alright, and I think one of my relatives takes it, so I'll check it out with them. EDIT: I don't know if you've seen this site, but it has some information on the different types.

Ok, so far it all sounds really good, and once I boot up the LiveCD again, I'll run the command that insane_alien wrote. to Klaynos, what do you mean by 'off the shelf'? That's one of the reasons I want to dual-boot sometime during the summer, so I can still game with XP, but I've heard dual-booting is real pain to do (i.e. reformatting the hard drive, setting up the partition), is it really that bad?

Once again, I'm just responding to the other guy...

I just responded to the person before me, I assumed it was recent...
