Looks like a lot of people are being paid up and lined
up to toss lies about windummy OSen to try and get it selling again.

Its an absolute pig of an OS and if anyone disagrees, the micoshaft
munchkins (bum boyeees) are attacking in force.

Thats the power of money despite micoshaft stocks sinking
and Google (a Linux company) now risen to 75% size
of Micoshaft Corporation.

And what about the competition?

Yes Linux is now installing in 9 minutes on modern PCs.
At that rate, its worth installing in all the spare PCs around the office
if you ask me.

3D translucent desktops working on as fast as dekstops on
your netbooks - Easy - here are some pointers as to how:


Ubuntu 9.04 Dumbfoundationalism Experiences
-------------------------------------------

I just don't believe it!

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an Asus EEE.

It took me 17 minutes from clicking start of installation
to finishing installation, booting up
AND browsing first web page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE UBUNTU TEAM!!!!!
HIP HIP HOORAY!
HIP HIP HOORAY!!
HIP HIP HOORAY!!!

I am totally dumb founded!!

Ubuntu 9.04 is technically just astonishing!!

Nothing as powerful exists for the PC in the whole world.
And nothing as powerful as this has existed in the PC's entire history!!!

2Gb of software installed including open office, networking,
browser, user management, gimp, email, music/movie player,
DVD burner, synaptic, rsync, etc. etc.. etc..

To make matters 'worse', I didn't even install to the internal
disks, I installed to a 2.5" 40Gb external pocket drive
running off of a USB port!!!

Since I didn't believe the install time, I thought I must have
made a mistake with the mental note of time.
So I installed again!
And its 17 minutes again from pressing the install button to booting
up the new install and opening up firefox and then typing
google and getting first page up!!!

Since the EEE 1000 hasn't got an optical drive, I installed with
from the SD Card formatted to EXT2 (Micoshaft FAT format is a disaster
for an SD Card and won't work at these speeds)

Here below some pointers to how it all got done...



Using extlinux to convert a liveCD iso to bootable SD card
-------------------------------------------------------------

Converting an ISO file to a bootable USB stick or a bootable
SD Card for EEE is easy.

Without being able to convert a distro into a bootable USB flash /SD Card,
that distro can't be easily loaded into netbook like EEE
and stand to miss out on users installing it into netbooks.

So I would recommend all distro mainters look at their netbook
boot strategy and offer something to boot their distros
from USB flash and SD cards or miss out on users installing it into
netbooks.

Having done a few conversions, a pattern emerges that works well for
most syslinux / isolinux / extlinux based distros.

1. Put your SD card or USB flash drive into your desktop Linux PC and
***then*open*a*console*and*type*dmesg
***You*should*see*some*line*indicating*your*flash*drive*as
***being*picked*up*and*allocated*with*a*comment*like*sdc*/*sdc1*etc..
***Remember*both*names*-*the*first*is*/dev/sdc*which*is*your
***device*name,*and*the*second*is*/dev/sdc1*which*is*your*partition*name.
***(Don't*get*confused*between*drive*/dev/sdc*and*partition*/dev/sdc1
***or*your*drive*could*become*scrambled*eggs*later*on.*Also*remember
***it*may*be*called*sdg*or*sdh*etc*depending*what*you*see*when*you
***plug*in*device*and*type*dmesg)

2. Install gparted on your machine using synaptic.
***To*run*it*you*can*type
*****sudo*gparted
***in*a*console*window*and*select*on*the*right*side*the*drive*name*allocated
***in*step*1.*Right*click*on*the*bar*that*represents*the*partition
***and*click*on*manage*flags.
***Enable*the*boot*flag*and*click*OK.*This*makes*the*SD*Card*/*USB
***stick*bootable.

3. Format the partition /dev/sdc1 to ext2 linux format.
***This*format*is*not*directly*readable*under*WINDUMMY*Osen,*but*there
***are*free*drivers*for*it*-*try*for*example*[url]www.fs-driver.org[/url]
***The*ext2*format*is*many*times*faster*than*windummy*FAT*so
***ditching*WINDUMMY*file*formats*is*advised.

4. Identify that you have syslinux or isolinux in your liveCD by
***opening*the*.ISO*file*in*archive*manager*and*checking*that*it*has
***isolinux*or*syslinux*directory*somewhere*in*the*liveCD.
***In*ubuntu,*the*root*directory*of*/dev/sdc1*will*not*be*writeable
***unless*you*are*in*super*user*mode.
***You*can*run
********sudo*file-roller
***to*open*iso*files*like*xubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso*in*super*user
***mode*and*extract*all*the*files*in*the*iso*file
***to*the*/dev/sdc1*partition.

5. Go to the flash drive and locate the syslinux (or isolinux) directory.
***rename it to extlinux. Inside the now renamed extlinux directory will
***a*file*such*as*syslinux.cfg*or*isolinux.cfg.*Rename*that*to
***extlinux.conf
***
6. Get syslinux - this is a boot loader and menu system for FAT based
***file*systems.*Download*the*latest*version*from*here...
***[url]http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/[/url]
***Unzip*it*and*go*to*the*extlinux*directory.
***On*my*machine*path*is*something*like*this....../syslinux/extlinux
***Run*the*program*there*by*typing*this*-*(note*this*command*is*updating
***the*partition*/dev/sdc1)

***./extlinux*--install*/dev/sdc1/extlinux*

***This*puts*a*new*file*into*your*SD*card*/*USB*flash*disk

7. from the extlinux directory change to the mbr directory
***cd*../mbr
***and*then*run*this*-*again*note*this*time*its*updating*the*device*by
***writing*data*to*the*first*sector*as*opposed*to*the*first*partition.

***sudo*cat*mbr.bin*>*/dev/sdc

***(Note*at*this*stage*you*may*need*to*do*some*of*the*sudo*commands*after
***entering*super*user*mode*to*make*it*work*properly.
***So*the*above*command*would*have*been*done*as*follows*in*Ubuntu.

***sudo*-s
***cat*mbr.bin*>*/dev/sdc
***)

***This*makes*the*card*bootable*and*useable*in*an*Asus*EEE*and*many*other
***PCs*with*SD*card*or*USB*flash*disk*boot*facility.


This method tested and works for

1. Ubuntu
2. Slax
3. Knoppix
4. Puppy
5. DSL
6. GParted
7. gOS
8. Dynabolic
9. MoonOS Kachana
10. Xubuntu
11. TinyOS (incredible distro!)


(Note the method does not work for .ISO files built with grub bootloader -
*need*a*different*install*method*with*grub*boot*loader*instead*of*syslinux.)

Try installing something powerful like Ubuntu on to a netbook
and see it take netbooks to new heights.


3D Translucent Cube Desktop
---------------------------

The latest EEE1000 has fast enough graphics for translucent
3D desktops. An easy way to do all this with Ubuntu is:

Install Ubuntu on EEE (compiz itself
appears to be installed by default in the default install),
then install compiz settings manager using Synaptic
which allows compiz to be fully 'exercised'.
And then do the following to get the 3D cube desktop
working...

*Go*to*General*>*Display*Settings*>*Lighting*and*turned*it*off
*Enable*Desktop*Cube*and*then*Desktop*Cube*>*Transparent*Cube*and*set*the
*two*opacity**settings*to*30%
*then*Desktop*Cube*>*Skydome*and*check*the*skydome*check*mark
*Enable*Rotate*Cube
*Enable*Enhanced*Zoom*Desktop
*Right*click*the*virtual*workspaces*panel*and*increase*the*number
*of*colums*to*8.

And hey presto - 100% 3D translucent desktop with 8 screens!!!!!!!!!!

*[Some*shortcuts*for*the*3D screen
**ctrl*+*alt*+*left*or*right*arrow*to*spin*cube
**ctrl*+*alt*+*down*arrow*and*then*left*or*right*arrow*for*a*ring*switcher
**super*+*E*for*yet*another*switcher
**super*+*mouse*wheel*scroll*to*zoom*in*and*out*of*the*3D*desktop.
*]

Reducing Font Sizes And Turning ON Sub Pixel Rendering
------------------------------------------------------

The EEE can be astonishingly good to look at once the
font size is reduced to about 8 and sub pixel rendering
is turned ON. It is still absolutely
readable and everything appeared like a 'full screen' miniature
desktop equivalent of a big desktop PC.
System > Appearance > Fonts get to the font settings
in Ubuntu. On software like firefox and some other applications,
need to also to set local use of fonts ( Edit > Preferences > Content
will have font settings for firefox that also need to be changed).


VirtualBox
----------
Yes! VirtualBox can run on Ubutu set up with 3D translucent desktop.
[url]http://www.virtualbox.org[/url]

Install virtual box and then install programs like windopws XP and run
it pretty much at it would run on a normal netbook. Its hard to tell
if the netbook is running Linux or the WINDUMMY OSen when the software
is run full screen becaue the speed and responsiveness is about
the same between a real windummy OSen install and a virtual box
virtual machine running it all in Linux.

He's picking his feet and eating whatever he manages to scrape off them.
It's absolutely disgusting, but not surprising as a complete and total lack
of social skills and personal hygiene seems to be a hallmark of the Linux
movement's members in general.

Between Hans Reiser getting caught hiding in his mother's basement and
Stallman eating foot scrapings I don't know which is more hysterical.

Well, Reiser killing his wife is not funny... just sad. This thing with
Stallman - what the? I really am speechless. He really is peeling skin
from his foot and eating it... or eating *something* from his foot. Maybe
this is his way of putting his foot in his mouth?

The killing part is certainly not funny.
I meant the basement part.

Looks like he is picking his feet and eating it.

Reminds me of the movie "The Hot Rock" where the guy in jail has a cell
mate who picks his feet and saves the droppings in a coffee can...

Yuck!

Very much so. I mentioned this to my wife and she offered something I had
not thought of - If *I* knew I was on camera I might do something like this
as a joke, making it *look* like I was peeling something off my foot and
eating it. As a joke. Not really doing it. Just want to be clear. :)

At least he is not eating them.

That is F'n disgusting. I can only imagine what sort of disgusting acts
freaks and weirdos like Roy Schestowitz do in their lonely little dorm
rooms.
