    Linux and MacOS share a common origin , they are both Unix Based . They're both similar in operation . You won't have any problem using either one , They're both intuitive and easy to navigate . The difference is most Linux OS's are not corporate based and are free to use . MacOS is tied to...

    That's where I get my parts from and I know BK does business with them as well . Definitely recommend them for PC's and parts .

    Think I'd have to go with the Dell with Linux Mint on it then . Much easier to upgrade and that Nvidia graphics chip makes short work of video . I have no use for the cloud either , other than telling them where to shove the cloud . I don't like the trend of no optical drives included on laptops...

    I have a desktop that I basically built , dual hard drives for Linux and Windoze for gaming, 750 watt power supply running it . I7 and a fast video card . Would have cost a fortune to buy a laptop with the same capabilities .

A nice Dell laptop with 128gb solid state drive and a 1 terrabyte or 1000 gb if you don't understand terrabyte regular hard drive , a wicked fast video card , I5 cpu , led screen and Linux Mint pre-installed for around the same price as the Apple .

    Me either , I have close to 2 terrabytes of storage in mine , cost about $120 to do that but I know Apple will charge a premium price for everything . Flip side is it's the most secure PC you can buy outside of a linux system .

    128gb of storage is too little IMO , the operating system will take up a chunk of that , hard drives are cheap these days , ask her about a bigger hard drive .

    My point is that if you watch where you put your hands and feet as in don't put them where you can't see what's on the other side and use the proper tools to pull wood off of a woodpile then there's little chance of being bit . I deliberately went in harms way for years catching and keeping...

    I can not and will not agree with the killing of an animal that will go it's own way given the chance . The animals are there for a reason , rodents .

    He could have let the snakes go their way , too bad he didn't take a bite for killing the animal as far as I'm concerned .

    Don't know if things have changed but the chinese can do a great job at making an atty , perfectly seamless , excellent threading etc. but then they give you crap hardware as in screws that strip with one use . First thing I did was replace the screws with good ones , never a problem after that .

    They are pretty snakes , nowhere as aggressive as their relatives mainly the Water Mocassin . We have Rat Snakes and Corn Snakes living in the same areas and preying on the same prey in this state , seems neither habitat nor diet plays a role , they face the same predators as well so that...

    Most Rat snakes are aggresive , we have Texas Rat snakes here and they bite willingly , only defense they have against something the size of a human . Corn snakes are Rat snakes but they're easier going , and popular as pets . Don't know why some subspecies are more aggressive than others ...

    They won't hunt them but they will den with them , following a Rat snake in the fall might lead you to a Rattlesnake den , one of their other nicknames is Pilot Black snake because of that .

    He feels it with his body , I've watched Rat snakes that I've kept go up an interior wall using the slight imperfections in the paint to grip and climb , they're designed to go any place a rodent can go . It also means they're great at raiding chicken coops so some places they're called Chicken...

    Hey DD , checked out Solus amd MX Linux in Virtualbox . Solus didn't play well in VB , couldn't get past 800x600 resolution on it , some screens are chopped off . Solus is fairly new so they might not have gotten around to addressing that yet . On the other hand no problems with MX Linux at all...
