Iuno... Its become just sorta... iuno.. iuno... its in competition w/ several front runners that dont have anything to do w/ the computer world.

Hey. thx. i appreciate that. i like your sig too. Oh, ive never tried kde on ubuntu, assuming now thats wat kubuntu is, im very much unknowledgable nd out of the loop on distros and kde... Ive got no problem w/ apt either.

I really only do very simple straightforward things now, and i dont even remember a time when i didnt use linux. I have a very small amount of packages (450, i think), its like.... image magick... font forge... watchamakalit window manager... Everything else is like, kilabyte file loaded lol. very simple... oh and firefox of course.
