Did you miss the part about his being busy? My brother has a full-time job and an active social life beyond sitting in front of a computer. Also, the one area where he felt there might be a problem with a Linux install was wireless, and since he was going to have to temporarily use the laptop as his primary desktop (because he was changing his computer study back into a spare bedroom, and thus had no room for his main system) he wanted to wait until he could be sure of what he needed to do to get wireless working.
You still can't read, can you? I said I wasn't sure, and nor was he, what the root cause was. I suspect, myself, that Norton may have played a part. But so must XP, as the base OS on which all programs were running. What else am I supposed to blame? hin air? Scotch mist? The laptop is nw working fine with Fedora. If anything happens to it, I'll let you know.
Yes. Honest Linux users who don't troll the group of a rival OS.
You are a nasty little creep, aren't you? My brother is a hundred times a better man than you ever were in your wildest dreams. If you want to insult me, fine, because I can insult you right back. If you insult him, you had damn well better have some grounds on which to do it, privatesyboy. So far, you have *none*.
