Laptop reset; School ended; Presser's back.

1) My laptop has been reset due to me failing at installing Ubuntu. Not really sure if it WAS my fault actually, I did what the FAQ said, but then Ubuntu wouldn't run from the Hard-drive, overrided to run Windows so I could simply delete it and run it from VirtualBox instead. Windows had been deleted. Great. So I had no OS, and my BIOS was confused. I installed Ubuntu on a HDD, so that I could run it from any PC, but no, it had to wipe my internal instead. >:(

So I used a recovery disc and now only a few of my programs work, but thankfully all of my important shit was on my HDD. Didn't get wiped.

So I say, Fuck you Ubuntu. Fuck you.
Now i'm off to install VirtualBox and hopefully you'll remind me how awesome you are, and i'll forgive you.
Looking on the positive, my laptop didn't forward the cache and such, so my laptop has sped up dramatically.

2) Today was the last day at school, so I have plenty of free time to count-down to Christmas, however I still have Judo tommorow, which isn't actually Judo since we're having a party, and again on the day after X-mas. Yay.

3) Mr. Presser, for those who remember, is my Food Tech and CAD/CAM teacher and there are roumers around the 3 NG members who go to my school (2 of which are noobs, but quite cool if they used proper grammar, and the 3rd is me. I can't classify myself, but level 20 doesn't exactly seem noobish to me) that he is going to return to NG, whether or not he's going to make a new account, or go on his old one is unknown, but his old one is a level 7 account from 1999 if you can find it, prior to the redesign, he was on level 9, but the requirements changed.

So now if you see me call a noob 'Sir', now you know why.

I had the same problem a few months back. Actually I tried to install about a dussin different versions of linux, but since the different versions couldn't properly overwrite each other all I ended up with was a messed up harddrive split into a dussin pieces all filled with non-working OS systems taking up a shitload of space. Not good. Havn't had the laptop fixed though, it doesn't work now, was more than a few years old anywhoo . . .

Ha ha, sometimes I wish people would upload a ZIP/RAR where all you have to do is manually partition the drive and extract everything there.

Ubuntu is smexy as fuck, but a pain in the ass to get running.
Sounds like Windows, actually, with a few good mods.
