Dear Micro,
It's been a few years since I played with any Linux . . .

But, and I think it was Linux Mint, there was a version
that looked an awful lot like windoze and it had the
major programs built into it. I would imagine it has
gotten better . . . but I haven't been looking lately.

I have quite a collection of USB drives. At work there
are three critical computers and I have a bootable USB stick
for each one - with the Ghost program and a disk image for
that particular computer. I can re-image the hard drive and
restart the computer in about thirty minutes.

Here at the house when I do my 'weekly computer thing' I backup
the important files to USB. Almost everything else I have on a spare
HD and an external USB drive.

As for music, a buddy of mine once gave me a copy of a half terabyte
of old music files. Quite a collection. I'm currently listening
to some Natalie Imbruglia from it. Plus I have quite a bit more music CD's which I pulled off and stored. (All of which
is replicated on extra drives.)

Yeah, backing things up is vital.
Zim.

Zim

I have a complete hard drive with my XP Pro x 64 system and all my files on it so all I need do is take this drive out or plug the other one in.

I liked my XP Pro....

I will say though that windows 7 x 64 has been extremely reliable without nary a problem ever... At least mine has..

Re: Music files

suggestion: I store mine on 64 GB flash drive. That is my backup for them. I use separate flash drives for different things. I have one for pictures, one for my personal writings, one for Business, one for computer stuff I keep such as all programs, setup application files, records, and of course backups to all email of myself and my wife.

They also are on another hard drive but I don't trust hard drives alone and find that a good flash drive is worth its weight in gold..

I also have a nice USB HUB sitting at my fingertips so I can easily access the USB drive for my machine...

This is simply how I do it....


QUESTION for ya.

HAs there been any further development of a Linux distro that more closely resembles a windows familiarity that one can actually install a program easily into and set up their printers and other hardware?

I believe THAT will be the replacememnt to WINDOZE 10 and beyond.... I keep waiting....

Have a good one Zim!

micro....
