You ran away from this one.. :-)

I already have, and my experience with Linux is far more extensive than your own..

The advice was sound, your entire line of whining was having issues with
the Nvidia card, I only suggested that you take it out of the equation. You
do not remove internal peripherals from a computer with the power on..

It was your decision to take the advice, on a suggestion given based on
your limited ability to explain the issue, and do note, Maurice was not
offering any...

 WC>> Demonstrably you enjoy kicking a man when he's down.
 WC>> Stroked as I was formerly.

 RC>> Exactly how does one kick in a message?

 WC> Posting Pinellas County Florida open records misdomeaner record files?
 WC> The very specific URL?

A public web site...

Your actions got you in the pokey to begin with, the only reason the
charges were dropped Wayne is that your *VICTIM* was worse than you..

You have been jailed and/or fined before, you have spent many nights in the
graybar hotel, you have on the same number of occasions been forced to wear
chrome bracelets, you have had the displeasure of riding in the backseats
of police cruisers, innocent or guilty, you placed yourself in those
positions to have run afoul of the law. This point is important as it
speaks to your character and poor decision making skills, despite having
the intelligence to have had a far greater potential in life. You still
place yourself in a position to levy criticism unto those whom have never
run afoul of the law, beyond much more than a speeding ticket if that. You
then blame everything that has happened to you, every thing you have done,
every piss poor decision you have made, onto others..

If you could get away with blaming your bad back on me, you would.

Then why didnt you stop, or better yet, why didnt you let him follow you to
the police station, or at least someplace real public, see Wayne, piss poor
decision making on your part.

 WC> Advising me "against the medical advice of the Center for Disease

A case of the flu, you conspicously termed as the Swine Flue, aka H1N1.

 RC>> You are in no position, neither is Maurice, to issue litmus tests

 WC> Actually Maurice would get my vote for the most adept at the command

No he isnt, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to use a CLI, Maurice is good
at scripting...

"We be BASHing" remember this?

 RC>> On many occasions, I turned X off and did all I wanted from the
 RC>> CLI..

 WC> My aren't you special?
 WC> Like I and others  do not?

Evidentily, you dont, if you are worried about looks..

 WC> Wanna bet it turns out to be the butt ugly Gateway with dual
 WC> core 64 bit 2.8 Gig processors sans front plastic fixture?

Look up the Intel Core i7 or the Core 2 Quad Core before bragging to me, or
the 15 gigabyte of RAM I have spread across 3 boxes..

Hard Drive capacity, both internal and external, you dont wanna go there.
