Ovako …
Sada sam vec usao u fazon sa Linuxom …
ALI…
Do sada sam imao Mandrivu 10.1 i 2005 i uvideo sam da su sve one price za Mandrak (uglavnom) tralalala pres@ravanje …
ALI … Nekako mi se Mandriva ne svidja …
Ipak ja pored multimedije volim i da cackam ovo i ono i da vidim sta je ovde i onde …. A za to je Patak malo dechiji …
Sto ce reci “sazreo sam ” :))
Dakle na sta da predjem sada …
PLZ… Somewhone?1O da, ponedeljak je, idemo sve iz početka
😛 😆A moderatori spavaju li spavaju 😉
Ali evo da odgovorim i ispadnem glup što se pecam na ovakve baljezgarije: kad već imaš crve u dupetu (i slobodnog vremena), zar je stvarno bitno šta ćeš da probaš i šta će neko da ti predloži? Uzmi bre redom isprobavaj šta god ti dođe pod ruku ili padne na pamet, pre ili kasnije ćeš naići na nešto što ti skroz paše, niko ne može da pogodi tvoj ukus kao ti sam…
@mtm76
😆 😆 😛Aj pecam se i ja 😛
Nemoj da prelazis, pograj se malo vise sa time sto imas… stavi bind… stavi apache-a u lokalu… provali kako te stvari rade… napravi test usera, pa instaliraj vmware, pa pod njim instaliraj neki win… ili recimo solaris ako imas memorije…pa napravi skriptu kad se taj test user uloguje u X da mu se kao default okruzenje dize wmvare sa tim operativnim sistemom, da prakticno ni ne zna da je na linuxu…
E, tada mozes da kazes da si usao u fazon sa linuxom, onako, ne skroz, ali prilicno.
Dobro, da vidim, ko je ovde rekao “ja sam rekao ja sam rekao ja” ?
Nemoj sad sve da ve poizbacivam sa forumi 😉Na žalost većina novih korisnika ne zna, ne želi , itd. da pretraži forum, a baška što je pitanje be(spredmetno)(smisleno), tj. slično onom: ” a koji mi auto preporučujete ?”
