"Pam Moore" wrote in message ... Can anyone tell me which is the easiest site on which to publish pictures. I set one up years ago on a previous computer but can no longer remember how I did it! If I had ny old XP computer I'd probably have it still!!! I'm struggling with W7. I am with Flickr and agree with you windows 7 7? That was the last of the less rubbish windows versions. and 8 are rubbish, hopefully 10 will soon be out and it is said it will be a free upgrade for windows 7 & 8 users! Linux is free and works a hell of a lot better |

Less hackery and malware; Free (beer and speech); Installation is quicker (Mint install takes about 10-15 minutes and is ready with a load of applications from the get go; Can boot a "live" version from a USB stick to try without installing; (http://www.linuxmint.com/) Current versions tend to run better on lower specc'd hardware compared to current Windows versions; GUI Desktop is just a component, so choose for heavy and pretty (eg KDE) to medium and Windows 95 like (XFCE4) to absolutely insanely minimal (eg Ratpoison) I could go on |

Compared to Windows? You jest! I thought one needed a Phd in computer science to run Linux. Hasn't one got to learm a whole new set of complex unix type commands, just to get the PC to basically run as in DOS , let alone figure out how to get a GUI Windows type system to run. I had a look in a Teach Yourself Linux type book once and gave up after reading several pages. Just horrendously complicated. |
