I switched to Ubuntu once to save money and not have to buy Windows. Worst computer mistake I've ever made. After all these years, Linux is still hard to use. I had to use a different computer to get network drivers. Then had to run a bunch of sudo commands to get the drivers to work. I had to do so much manual stuff, even though I had common hardware, to get the PC even up and running. And then using it has been a pain. I've had many problems with it. I won't ever do Linux again.

I switched to Linux this year. Ubuntu on the first box, Mint on the other. I never had any problems. Sound, network, printer, media server. All fine.
... such stuff as dreams are made on

Don't need to. Every day without an elephanting Windows update is pure a win!

- Me, probably, circa ~2001 (except the "saving money as the motivation" part)
If your Windows machine didn't have proper drivers for your NIC, wouldn't you have had to use a different computer all the same to get them? And then invoked some admin-level commands to get them going...?
That said, while Linux has gone a long way, it sure is still not without its quirks. For example, I have it running on a spare machine that gets moved around. One week it might be hooked up to one monitor via VGA, another week it might be hooked up to another monitor via HDMI, and yet another week it might be hooked up to both at the same time. Yet whenever I switch monitors, it gets stuck at the main Ubuntu splash screen (if you want to call it that). Linux still seems to be a lot less forgiving about hardware changes than Windows is.

Hi All,
I know some of you will know Altium but not all. Griff, Codewraith I'm looking at you...
I started out with Protel and changed over to Altium used it. Left it, now having to go back to it and 'expletive' has it changed, the links between sheets don't work the way the used to or has the person creating it just dropped the ball?

Sorry, I always used Eagle. I can't tell you whats going on with Altium.
Why not ask some questions at their community?[^] You know the procedure. Send me codez! Urgentz!
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I used Eagle, back in the day & Ranger, never really had to anything serious in Altium (only Protel).
The thing that bugs me is the way 'they' split up the diagram with FPGA's split up on separate pages as it's the way to do them? and the tabs not being connected...Dear ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif)

Brazil - Belgium (world cup soccer)
What will be the outcome?
Here, it's one of the most anticipated matches since, well since before I was born 
In any case, it should be a promising match and we will not go down without a fight.
My guess
Brazil - Belgium
2 - 3

Before the World Cup, I predicted that Belgium would win it. I'm still on track for that being an accurate guess.

It's going to be a tough one, there is no obvious winner.
But your guys are playing like a team for the first time since very long.
So now is the time to go far I suppose.

I just hope that they don't start with Sterling or Vardy. Subs fine but not the starting line-up.
