Linux for your taste (sorry Naw :D) (26 Viewers)

I wish i spoke to more customers who are like your father. I haven't met my sales target this month, and no matter how hard I push for sales, it never happens!

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

The guy who sold my Dad the finance program for his company, sold him a zip drive as a "handy back-up product". It's not hard to sell my Dad anything computer related.

Oh

vlatko, help a fellow juventino out... ask your father to call Sheik

And you stood there and let him get fooled? Bad son, bad son

Nah, that was years ago...I didn't work with him then and well, he never bothered to ask. But to be honest, it wasn't such a bad buy for my Dad as with that zip drive, he could easily back up his things directly from the finance program, put in the disk and press back-up. Now to use a CD-R required shutting down the program, opening the burning software, navigating it, finding the directory with the files, etc....yeah, that Zip drive did save me a lot of headaches when I think about it.

They need to be residents of USA.

After countless efforts, I have now successfully completed the first step in moving out of the windows world. A big thank you to all the guys who directly/indirectly helped me in completing the switch...

It's a bit late for that I'm afraid. Did you use a single partition for Linux?

I would repartition and reinstall. You could also try to resize partitions but that doesn't always work so well.

I used a single partition of about 30 gb... What do you recommend? More than one partition? I don't mind reinstalling because I have all the time in the world for the next few days...

You made it 30gb and it's already 93% full? No f way. Are you sure you don't mean 93% free? :dazed:

My / is 25gb and I have tons upon tons of apps installed. I'm using 18gb.

 

[icemaη]

Okay, I might have allocated 2.9gb instead of 29 gb

That really made me chuckle.

Asif you noob!

He's offline = re-installing

 

[icemaη]

Yeah, thanks for the support



Btw, installing Ubuntu with the alternate disc was very easy... Most things seem to be working out of the box...
