A new tradition: LlamaSlayers computer utility day

Starting today, the fifth of every month will be “LlamaSlayers computer utility day”.  Join if you want, basically all you have to do is complete any or all of the tasks from the following list.  After each task listed, there will be notes telling you how to do the task and why the task is important.  Some of these tasks are for Windows computers (I don’t have a Mac or Linux computer so I can’t say anything to do for them, you’ll have to look elsewhere), some for WordPress blogs, and others for general things to do around computers on the fifth of every month.

Anyway, I tried backing up the entire hard drive via network, but Windows was using the hard drive so certain files couldn’t be read.  Then I put in my ubuntu disk and rebooted to load the livecd environment.  After a while of searching for the right options, I Continue reading

Linux Sucks

There are three reasons I am posting this here.

  1. People from my class said I have to.
  2. It is taking forever.
  3. I hope other people will share my misery.

Here’s the link: http://kororaa.org/static.php?page=xgl-livecd-old

It’s taking more than an hour to download and I haven’t even gotten half way through yet.  I hope I can figure out how to burn it to the CD that they gave me.
