imagine if you will...
you have a system set up around microsoft that is irritating, far from perfect, but it works, and it was quite easy to set up...
the internet arrives in an XP machine, which acts as an internet gateway, allowing the other computers (an XP machine & a mac) access to the internet...
they are also all networked together in a way that mostly works but is a bit patchy...
the XP machine at the centre of it all is getting sluggish and you're tempted to try installing linux on it... you find a version of linux called ubuntu...
linux (ubuntu) is not as straight forward as XP, although without a doubt better... particularly at networking so they say...
but you don't know how to configure ubuntu so that it all works, and to try it you have to stop the internet from the other 2 machines until you've got it going...
so it's forums for me i'm afraid... and i'm sorry about the geekiness of it i just wanted to get it clear in my head what i'm trying to do...
my frequency of blog posts being most erratic these days, as little as 2 a week and then 3 in 1 day...
