Turn a Windows User Into a Linux User

I had a friend complaining to me about BSOD's. Well I gave my usual speech about what they are and such and offered to analyze them. I pointed him in the path of a utility from Nirsoft, BlueScreenView and he sent me the results. I let him know that most likely it was a driver issue and maybe he could update. I also had given him a USB flash drive with Linux Mint Katya on it and low and behold I received an email that night that he had wiped Windows 7 away and was enjoying Linux.

He had one real issue and that was finding the right wireless driver. Once he connected wired, the driver was downloaded and installed along with other updates and all was well.




















Chalk another one up for the penguins.

Pensive Penguin Is Now Open

I know I said it before but it really is now. I will post the first post to it later this morning. So if you have followed this blog or stumbled into it new, come visit at the new site Pensive Penguin. The site will be in a state of constant flux as I learn WordPress but I promise for at least a post a week.
