I was wondering why my Windoze XP started giving me problems, when I found out... It's still the trial version I'm using. In the beginning of XP, they gave it away with a 60 day trial period. And some Crackers found out how to remove the annoying 'reminder' after the 60 day period. I just installed that... It's still a crack you say? nooo! it's just hacking... Anyways, the little trick M$ use on windozeUpdate to check for validity of your XP, just had me.
I'm going to switch OS.. Yes! and Linux just happened to be at the right spot this day... Grabbed a copy off some server, burned a CD (the one that said network install), and the rest is a piece of .....
Well not really, it's a bloody miracle I'm up and running. The work I had to put into this, is horrifying, I'll tell you the whole story later ... but for now, I'm still sure this is the way I want to go, because MickeySoft will throw more of that 'validity-check' at you once their new 'Vista' OS hits the market, and that gives me the creeps!
Later..
