I'm back

[Hyp-know-fetish]

I'm back, after recovering from yet another computer wipe. I forgot about this place for a few weeks. I log in and I'm swarmed with PM's! Anyway, Nice to see y'all again. :)

Welcome back!

How could you forget about this place? :lol: :roll:

Well, I got distracted with a few things, like setting up my machine back to where it should be. I'm still rebuilding my Virtual Hypnotist scripts. :(

But hey! I can see that one of my ideas in the Voting area is now 2/3 of the way to the top! Hoo-rah! :D

Try using [url=http://ubuntulinux.org/]Ubuntu Linux[/url] or [url=http://apple.com/store]Mac OS X[/url] and reinstalling will no longer be necessary.

I tried Kubuntu a while back but I couldn't get the Internet. My WiFi card doesn't have Linux support.

Actually, my problem was self-induced; I'm rather good with computers but leave me with a machine for a few months and I will break something. I know just enough to screw myself over (luckily, I usually also know how to fix it). :)

Many cards are supported in the new 2.6.17 kernel, including Apple's Airport cards (broadcom chips). Thanks to that I now have wireless when using Ubuntu on my Mac. Others can be used on x86 computers by using the Windows drivers (ndiswrapper). That only works in 32bit mode, though.

You should try [url=http://linux-ntfs.org/]NTFSClone[/url]. With that you could save your computer at a good state, and then if you need to restore it later it would take less than 1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i minutes. I use that program heavily at work.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. :)
