spiderman05 I think I will have to go for a fresh install of Mandriva 2008.1. I have never installed this distribution, I upgraded right away from Mandriva 2008.0 to 2009 maybe that is the source of all the problems I am encountering now. Thank you for your input.

spiderman05 Thanks for the reply. I am so used to Mandriva now. I am afraid that UBUNTU does not include a wide collection of development tools as it seems more targeted to the wide public.

spiderman05 I am a faithful watcher of this show. I am seduced by the intelligence as as by the weirdness of the Monk character. I have started watching this show more than a year ago. Now, I prefer watching it on the internet.

spiderman05 It is a good idea to store the disks in a fire proof safe or even outside the house, for instance at work or in a trusted friend or family member place. Merry Christmas to you too.

spiderman05 That is an unfortunate experience. I said to myself that I would be backing my data on a DVD every 3 months. Though, I think that my last back up on a DVD goes back to last summer. I do more frequent back ups on a usb key, like once every 2 or 3...

I have been a regular user of Blogger since 2 years ago. Last week, I decided to try something new. Many bloggers have been migrating recently from Blogger to Wordpress. I said to myself, I will have to see what all this fuss is...

spiderman05 The slow speed might also be due to the fact that Wordpress pages are generated dynamically and that the software itself is written in PHP a slower interpreted language.

spiderman05 I have the same impression too, that is professional bloggers tend to use wordpress instead of blogger. Good luck with your blog. It is true that there is a lot of competition on technology topics in general which makes harder for new sites to get noticed....

spiderman05 Thank you for your reply. True, it is his own work, but it gets a bit boring after reading almost the same thing over and over again. Innovation and creativity is still a good thing.

I was bored two days ago, so I decided to give Mandriva 2007 a try. Well, my first goal was to get Mandriva on a USB key, though I did not manage to do so. Instead, I downloaded Mandriva One, the compact version of this Linux...

spiderman05 Adquirante, Yes it is possible to access thw Windows partition from Mandriva 2008. In my case, Mandriva automatically mounts the Win partition when the system starts up. My Windows files are accessible from directory /media/hd.

spiderman05 You're welcome. I am not sure how old wordpress is, but I have the impression that many blogger improvements (that came with version 2) were inspired by wordpress for instance drag-and-drop style layout customization.

spiderman05 Thank you Mensab, Blogger version 1 used to be even more complicated. The only way to customize a blog was by modifiying the HTML and CSS of the blog' s template. Blogger 2 went out of Beta in December 2006. It allows users to customize their blogs in a...
