    Laptop Problem.

    Long time ago A mate of mine made the big switch from windoze to Linux, I was waiting for him to get everything sorted out then get him to help me. Unfortunally he gave up on the oxygen habit.

    G'Day From the Centre of Australia.

    G'Day from the centre of Australia. I have been toying with the idea of changing to Linux for years now. I just bought a new computer, it has windoze 11 on it . :mad::mad: So I thought now the time to make the change. I am not a computer person so I will need a lot of help. Cheers and Beers.
