To Simran,
Did you install it properly step by step? You can ask someone help if you need to.

Nice theme dude :)

Reply

Simran April 3, 2010 at 8:52 pm

The current theme is looking better than the previous one but it would be more better if you can change the header to something attractive. :)

VISHAL April 15, 2010 at 6:02 pm

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 8, 2010 at 2:38 am

Yup, windows fits us perfectly because we’re used to it :) We don’t get to see many Linux computers these days (here in the Philippines)

Reply

Simran April 8, 2010 at 8:17 am

@Dany

Linux is better than Windows but for normal users it is difficult to understand. It has some features better than Windows :) Few days back i used it in my college and I fell in love with it.

VISHAL April 15, 2010 at 6:05 pm

Linux is an Open source OS and it;s really awesome.. But It’s not for ordinary users

U have to learn more about this to be familier with it

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 17, 2010 at 3:05 pm

hmmm.. I guess me and Danny still have a lot of learning to do… but for now, I’ll stick with Windows :)

Reply

VISHAL April 7, 2010 at 1:14 pm

@ Dany

I can say that Linux is always better than windows but for developers coz its not easy to understand.

I worked on it b4 some days

Reply

Ellen Joy Castel April 11, 2010 at 2:19 am

Ravi, maybe you can write a basic guide on the difference between linux and windows… just a suggestion… coz I’m really interested on knowing more about linux now…

Reply

VISHAL April 15, 2010 at 6:06 pm

Even I am agree with Ellen.. Start writing about Linux and Windows !!
