File conversion

I have spent many annoying times trying to open documents and wanting to download files on-line only to find windows does not support the effort.  Linux based and open source software has many useful programs that are not compatible with windows but I have found one solution to my problem. Zamzar. With this site file conversion and on-line video download is possible and easy. Just visit the site and see for yourself. If you have any good on-line suggestions let me know.

Linux and their community

Despite the fact that Linux based systems are getting world wide use it seems the worlds public still don’t get it. Micrsoft systems still get easily affected by most of the annoying little bugs writen by anoying big bugs and in recent weeks my XP system was not left out. This time it was the Spylock 4.1 false addware. This just keeps telling you that you need to purchase Spylock spyware to remove it. Don’t be drawn in by this.

Fortunatly I frequent the Sussex Linux User Group (your area will have one) and this proved again how the Linux community can help out (for free) even with MS systems. Should you get this problem, download SpyHunter free scanner, search your system then remove each point manually.

As I have Ubuntu (Linux) on my laptop my PC will be next to convert allowing me to avoid those anoying little bugs but still giving me access to that large community of Linux users for any help I may need in the future.

Linux, take the plunge.

It will no doubt take some time for the hardened Windows user to consider a change to freedom in the computer world but I’m sure that day will come.

I am going to make the move gently, by setting up a duel hard drive. one still running XP for now with the other using UBUNTU the user friendly Linux Op system. That way I canget accustomed to Linux befor I take the big plunge.
