I’m all about digital distribution. And, as much as I like having the physical goods in my hand for a few reasons: Actually having a tangible good that I can point to and say “Hey, I own that” If my computer crashes, I’ve got the disc right there to install from. N ... Continue Reading
So I realized today as I was cursing my luck without any way to install or run Linux (mostly due to my own refusal to buy a new hard drive for my desktop, buy a laptop or, worse, reformat for the THIRD time in a month and deal with reinstalling everything on Windows 7 AGAIN [I can't do it ...
