Linux: Me and the lack of interest.

Posted 11-16-2009 at 07:22 AM by Seph64 (Seph64's Lair)

I wouldn't say I have gotten bored of Linux, but I haven't had interest in using it for the past few months.

Either due to the fact that I am too lazy to find a Linux disc to reinstall GRUB to the MBR, or the fact that my games are keeping me tied to Windows.

Maybe I need a PC to exclusively use for Linux? I got an old PC that I use for a file server whenever I decide to turn it on. Maybe I should just backup the files on that machine on to an external hard drive, and...

As it's the client that does not connect, try telnet ipaddress portno or telnet hostname portno to connect to the server and see what works.

Check name resolution and firewalls.

I tried giving 192.168.1.144 as an IP telnet address but still client is not getting connected. Do u want me to give cllient server code...

Linux is a lost cause!

This is the quote I was told earlier this week by a colleague. "Linux is a lost cause."

HAS LINUX LIVED UP TO ITS PROMISE?

I don't for a second agree that Linux is truly lost but I do certainly agree with my friend and colleague that the promise Linux fortune tellers made has not come to pass.

So when should one upgrade?

Posted 11-12-2009 at 06:54 PM by Lufbery (The Slacker's Blog)
