I've found it to be really helpful to have a search on the archlinux forums for your specific laptop. Often there will be a dedicated page for it and it will have all the glitches and bugs n stuff related to installing Linux on it. The wiki there is mainly for arch Linux but anything kernel and driver related shouldn't be distro specific. For example when setting up my xps 13 2015 the wiki page was insanely handy, it told me which kernel to use and which patches I needed to apply, as well as how to fix palm detection and get WiFi and bluetooth working Just, god damn its a good wiki!

The above are great recommendations. Check out inkscape if you're into vector drawings

If you're only doing say "light gaming" on the laptop then pick a nice stable Linux distribution with a friendly looking desktop environment. My suggestion would be for you to have a look at Linux mint, super quick, really stable, easy to use and doesn't have a nasty unfamiliar interface

Now that Windows has become a malware platform for delivering ads, littered with cleverly named programs built for the purpose of harvesting our information, it's time that we make the hard decision that will ultimately decide the outcome of our rights to actually own or our own computers. It's time that we switch to Linux. We should not stand to have to agree to a terms of service to use our own computers, they're ours, not anyone else's!

I cried of sadness, then I cried again of euphoria.

Cpu coolers are on... This is going to be a long series.

Ehhh... as inhuman as this would make him out to be, it's nothing to worry about. You don't get to be as successful as he without either giving blowjobs to congressmen or being a fruit cake. Good thing I like fruit cake

1. Find out the UUID of the hard drive with 'sudo blkid' should look something like this: F88275C4827587C0 sudo echo 'UUID=*insert uuid here* /media/*insert directory here* ext3 defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab This'll make the hard drive mount automatically at boot. Find out more about fstab here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab 2. Try installing Steam with 'sudo apt-get install steam' that is if you're not doing it that way already.

Why shouldn't I forget that?

I think netflix will fail in Australia, our infrastructure is not good enough to support it.

This may be of some use: http://superuser.com/questions/130457/what-linux-fits-on-a-floppy-disk

Gotta say that my favorite would be the 10keyless keyboards, as they don't get in the way and still have the arrow keys available.

True crypt, for your child pornography collection.

That's not how freedom of the press works.

Amen. Though, installing graphics drivers is such a pain in the ass even for a vet cli user. It'd just be handy to have something that installs everything for me. I even made a script that installs all the software that I need because it takes so freaking long to do it manually when I re-install mint.

Mine will uninstall any previous amd drivers and check whether there's a dual GPU card or crossfire before initializing. It's the first script I've ever written. I just sort of know basic programming concepts and bash command line interpretation and away I went. I'm certain it's not very pretty code

I made a script for this, I haven't tested it but I think it works. If not, someone please fix it #!/bin/shif [ -f /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh ] ; then sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh sudo apt-get remove –purge fglrx*else sudo apt-get install dkms lib32gcc1 libc6-i386 gksu mkdir ~/Downloads/CatalystOmega && cd ~/Downloads/CatalystOmega wget –referer=”http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu%20×86%2064″ http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb wget –referer=”http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu%20×86%2064″ http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx-core_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb wget –referer=”http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu%20×86%2064″ http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx-dev_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb wget –referer=”http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu%20×86%2064″ http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx-amdcccle_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb sudo dpkg -i fglrx* if lspci | grep -q '5970\|6990\|7990\|295X2' ; then sudo amdconfig –initial -f –adapter=all else touch 'gpu_count' && lspci | grep 'VGA' > gpu_count if [ $(wc -l < gpu_count) -gt 1 ] ; then sudo amdconfig –initial -f –adapter=all rm gpu_count else sudo amdconfig –initial -f rm gpu_count fi fi sudo rebootfi

I was bored one late evening so I then decided to mark this up in latex so it looks pretty https://mega.co.nz/#!w08DFSgK!yl_NOnTSoyuI7CgMwRM6shzPOO3whdxa6mvlsrGyQLE

Home server linux build!

Well, you can't install winodws 8.1 to a MBR drive but you can install windows 7 to a GPT drive if you boot into EFI mode with the installation media. This explains it better than I can: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749064%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

Holes ore hen mode in the base of the wello enable oil to pass into the bore. Finally o collection of valves called a"Christmas Tree" is fitted to the top, the valves regulate pressures andcontrol flow. During the primary recovery stage, reservoir drive comes froma number of natural mechanisms. These include: natural water displacing oildownward into the well, expansion of the natural gas at he op of thereservoir, expansion of gas initially dissolved in the crude oil, and gravitydrainage resulting from the movement of oil within the reservoir from theupper o the lower pars where the wells are located. While heunderground pressure in the oil reservoir is sufficient to force the oil tothe surface, all that is necessary is to place a complex arrangement ofvalves (the Christmas tree) on the well head to connect the well to apipeline network for storage and processing. Sometimes pumps, such asbeam pumps and electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), are used to bringhe oil to the surface; these are known as artificial lift mechanisms.\cite{1}\\\begin{center}\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{methane}\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{oil_rig}\end{center}\section{Cause of Deepwater Horizon}A approximately 9:45 pm CDT, on 20 April 2010, high-pressure methane gasfrom the well expanded into the drilling riser and rose into the drilling rig,where it ignited and exploded. 11 people were never found, despite onextensive search.\cite{2}\\\section{Exxon Vladez Oil Spill}The Exxon Valdez oil pill occurred in Prince William Sound, Alaska, onMarch 24, 1989, when Exxon Valdez, on oil tanker bound for Long Beach,California, struck Prince William Sound's Bligh Reef at 12:O4 a.m. local timeand spilled 11,000,000 to 38,000,000 gallons of crude oil over the nextfew days. It is considered to be one of the most devastating human-causedenvironmental disasters. The Valdez spill was the largest in US waters untilthe 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in terms of volume released. No deathswere directly linked to the spill, but 4 were lost in the clean-up.\cite{3}\cite{4}\\\begin{center}\includegraphics[scale=4]{tanker}\end{center}\section{Environmental Ramification}Wildlife takes the hardest hit from oil spills. First, birds that swoop downinto the sea to try and get some fish for their young, or even rhemselves,will get covered in oil, disabling them from being able o fly and evendestroying their waterproof-ness and insulation. Sea mammals also takehits that can kill them, as their food can become contaminated with oil, which is extremely dangerous. It’s not just living beings that can get hugelyhit by oil spills: rocks and beaches can get almost destroyed when the tidecomes in, drenched in oil. Even a whole organisation can take days to cleanup just one beach and a load of rocks.\cite{5}\\\begin{center}\includegraphics[scale=0.6]{oil_bird}\end{center}\begin{thebibliography}{1}\bibitem{1} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraction\_of\_petroleum {\em}\bibitem{2} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater\_Horizon\_oil\_spill {\em}\bibitem{3} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exxon\_Vald\_Oil\_Spill {\em}\bibitem{4} http://www.earthlyissues.com/exxon.htm {\em}\bibitem{5} http://environment.about.com/old/environmentalevents/p/exxon\_valdez.htm {\em} \end{thebibliography}\bibliography{Deepwater Horizon}\bibliographystyle{plain}\end{document} Download: https://mega.co.nz/#!J0UiXYCK!fhPJXJZcez1H-aL4S9txhoIsYnWaEE0PAsq-yQ9BdQs

You'll impress the shit out of her, c'mon. I'm going to do it anyway even if you don't give me the plain text, I'll just type it out myself.
