so what browser do you use. Microsoft? hahahaa

Oh I use google chrome myself. But have to use firefox for ebay.

You wouldn't think so, unless (like me) you've quite legitimately asked someone which browser they use and their response is "google"...

 

[Restless]

haha yep. dual booting

I know a guy online that has 6-8 diff operating systems on his bootloader. Even a hackintosh (hacked version of mac)

I forgot Google have a browser... I just call it Chrome.

I was actually referring to the number of people who reply with their search page when asked about their browser.

Yeah I knew you was referring to that.
I was just joking as I knew already you was a Linux user... right??

Why Firefox for Ebay Restless

Since you asked....

Sorry. Your browser does not support the popular listing options selling form. If you'd like to try it, please try using Internet Explorer 6 or higher, or Firefox 1.5 or higher.

Got one last night from a chap with a nice English accent, good evening Mr Farrer, I wonder if your aware that you've been awarded a government grant to have your loft and walls insulated. Oh how wonderful I'm really looking forward to this, should make the Guinness book of records. Whys that Mr Farrer, well it will be the first time in history that anybody has had the loft in a ground floor flat insulated. click

Got a bit of everything - XP, Vista, 7, Ubuntu, Debian, Android and IOS (although the last one doesn't really count).

 

[Restless]

You have iphone or ipad?

On ubuntu do you use unity or gnome shell?

Both - or rather, my wife does - that's why IOS doesn't really count.

On ubuntu do you use unity or gnome shell?

Both - I don't like Unity, though.

Considering a change to Mint rather than backdating Ubuntu...

 

[Restless]

oh I would try that on virtualbox before you bother to install it.

Considering a change to Mint

 

[Studio25]

Planning to do it with a live CD

 

[Restless]

ah good idea, Mint is ok, but too much attempt to look like windows. Trying mate or cinnamon flavour?

Only trying it because it has been declared the 2012 best distro by Linux Format magazine. I'm not really a Linux user, I just use whatever is needed to get the job done: Mostly Windows is "good enough" but sometimes it's easier in Linux.

I think looking like Windows is not necessarily a bad thing - it can get many typical users to move across to a different o/s - especially as Windows 8 is supposedly going to be so different, you might find more people migrating just to stuck with a look they are comfortable with.
