i found a whole linux os hiding on 4 gigs of my hard drive, it avoided detection by partition commander10, stompsoft,, suse 8.1 and suse 10 installation disks, etc. everything i tried to install went around that partition because it would boot (without detection) and send everything to the rest of the hard drive.

Hide it on the desktop. Or, if in Windows, in "My Documents". Like all the people whose computers I fixed. I think they thought that was private/secure enough.

Oh and for god's sake, just trash your porn and watch it directly online, on youporn or megarotic.

No os war, just looove, good fun, dirty keyboard, everyone's happy, even Mr N00b :D

Now THAT is some kind of cross platform solution ;)

lowkey, that was my strategy too, but after a short while, they started complaining a bit, for example, and i know it's a shame, but two of them where unhappy with the lack of whateversmileysystem there is in messenger that you don't get in pidgin, the other one had troubles with his excell 6 files, and didn't quite like OOo as much as office ( the UI i mean ).

And the suse was turned down everytime because of the menu that doesn't seem to make many people happy.

The only one that still has linux on her laptop is my mother in law, but then she's buying a macbook as soon as the new line comes up. And she said she uses less her laptop since the switch ( don't really know why yet, i don't like getting to see her so much :p )

Now, my only advice to people is "buy a mac and you'll get unlimited help, or sorry i have no time for this", that proved quite efficient for 3 people already with a 4th ( mother in law ) coming soon.

Now for the command line problem, i'll say that yeah it quite comes from me, i mean the graphical use of linux proved annoying to me ( less stable than my mac, so why bothering ? ) so, as they only are servers, i just love to use them only in command line. And each time they prove to be fantastic!
My media system in the house is linux based, i do some electronics, again linux based, all the server softwares are too.

What i meant was more "Linux's biggest strenght is it's command line usability" but then i guess the ubuntu guy only surfing isn't all excited by my theory right :D

Yet again, i think the os war is something a bit strange, like making a war between suvs, coupés, saloons, it's not quite the same, atlhought they still are cars.

What should be the subject is : why the hell are you using a suv to race on a track ? or something of the sort ;)

Quote from Cedric: The thing is that i have failed making those average users using a ubuntu or suse ( the only two i’ve tried ) on their laptop instead of xp or vista, so linux isn’t really the answer (some have hapilly switched to mac, the others still use windows )

Well I've had good luck converting windows users if I first start with their applications. Generally I start with replacing Outlook with Thunderbird. Then Internet Explorer with Firefox. The MS Office with Open Office.

Then you change the OS under the applications. Since they still have the apps they use, the conversion is much less traumatic or scary. So far when I take it slow I have 100% success rate.

As for all the comments about needing to use the command line in Linux, well if you want to stay in 1999 forever go ahead. Plenty of distros have reached the point where you don't need to know any command line. Just look at the all the success the Walmart PC and the Asus EEE had delivering a simple to use Linux to the masses. It will continue to grow. Mostly because people are cheap and free is good.

Come on, it's funny, but still not very smart.

I agree with you on the "the average windows user doesn't know how to do sh*t on it's comuter" statement

The thing is that i have failed making those average users using a ubuntu or suse ( the only two i've tried ) on their laptop instead of xp or vista, so linux isn't really the answer (some have hapilly switched to mac, the others still use windows )

plus, is it being clever knowing something everybody knows ? i mean the windows equivalent to do so is far less know and therefore you have to be muh more of an expert to know them.

The fact that linux demands knowing command lines is it's main problem, preventing it from common usage

ok, the only good reason i see for windows is gaming/pro software
but then the only reason i know for linux is computer science/geekery/web/dev/hack/
the true computer novice and non-gamer should just head to the mac, instead of windows, that's the only thing i see possible

One last thing, i use the three, an really, of course windows is a pin in the ass for comp guys like us, but then i still appreciate playing on it, playing with my linux server and the everyday use on my mac, let's keep the war low and all enjoy the choices

the only windows problem is thoses plain assholes that download porn all day then get viruses then complain that windows is unstable after buying shitty hardware and installing all crap possible and comming to YOU for fixing ... :D

Note you can also specify it as

mkdir .\ (period backslash space)

and remember to use it when you cd into the directory.

cd '. ' or cd .\

lowkey — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:01:47 -0000

bah. if you really want to hide it, use a better folder name.

mkdir '. ' (single quote period space single quote)

When you do ls -la, it looks like:

drwxr-x--- 151 lowkey lowkey 8192 2008-02-08 18:59 .
drwxr-x--- 2 lowkey lowkey 4096 2008-02-08 18:59 .
drwxrwsr-x 8 root staff 4096 2007-02-11 20:11 ..

Most people won't even notice it. Hidden in plain sight.

A pretty sad comparison though. In Windows you use a graphical interface in Linux you have to be a code monkey to do anything!

Ok, Windows = Good, Linux = Good. (Mac is bit of non-point here). Just for different things. And as a previous person has said, Linux has been ignored because of marketing. Ever tried paying for advertising when most of your income is advertisements and donations?

Just because I feel like it, I dont hide my porn, my mum & dad don't go on my computer, and can't most of the time (locked down screen etc). Having porn at work is silly, at the very least download it straight to an external drive, so you can take it home.

And as a last troll-trolling. Bob, your story is one that seems unlikely, I cant think of a single instance where having porn on your company storage (be it local or network) is acceptable (unless its the porn industry). A "very attractive" colleague happens to go through your porn archive /and/ watch it at work, now every woman knows that men watch porn, but they dont openly admit it, and its hard to find a girl that is 100% comfortable with porn. Another colleague told your boss that you had porn, and he got told off, not you.

I'm not even allowed games at school, I dont see how an office situation, in which you are being paid, would be drastically different.

That one guy — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:10:57 -0000

I agree. Need to find her... I'm sure for the furries out there though they can just get their pet dog... (massive sarcasm quotes)

Oh and everything sucks by comparison to anything, seriously you all have opinions, no need to state them, cause this just shows how easy it is to hid porn but why hide it, obviously cause you are a 8 year old with a mom to watch you, well then that sucks to be you don't it?

Ron — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 06:01:54 -0000

You're right Dave. There is a good reason Linux is ignored, lack of marketing.

On porn here's another suggestion. Actually get a real girlfriend and have sex with her.

No, a Windows user would simply mark the folder as hidden. What's the point in all of this? If Linux had the capability to do a single thing Windows could, or at least do 10% of what it does, people would actually use the silly thing. Linux has been ignored for 15 years for good reason.

Silly. Anyone with admin privileges can view a locked out folder. Use FolderGuard for Windows, and even the admin can't get in it.

Are you going to deny your wife admin in a shared computer?
Mine are packed as a 12 gb rar file, which opens with my file manager with a password.

mkdir \ .

put all your dirty stuff encrypted in the dir now named " ."

chmod -R 700 \ .

now if you ls -l, you really need to pay attention
