Elf Knows IT

I have always been a huge Linux fan, giving Windows XP the boot back in 2003 for a taste of Red Hat, and loved it! I had always been interested and messed a little with Linux since around 2001, but in 2003 I decided to give it the complete once over and gave my computer a clean wipe and started from scratch with Red Hat 7.3 It stuck! Starting to move up through the numbers to Red Hat 9, then trying Fedora for a short while, until I found Ubuntu. I had been messing with Debian before so it sat perfect with me. I now use Ubuntu on every machine at home and at all my servers. I love it.

Ten Thousand Feet For Charity!: http://ping.fm/KWlSR

It’s nearly time! This Saturday I will be jumping 10,000 feet from a moving piece of metal, also known as an airplane with a sleeping bag strapped to my back, hopefully known as a parachute, and some lad also strapped to my back, hopefully known as qualified, all in the name of charity.

Hi Elf,
I recently bought a new computer, and got Vista Home Premium. when the computer is turned on a pop up bubble from the bottom right tool bar says that the colour scheme has been changed to Vista Basic because a running programme isn’t supported or something like that.

Yours Sincerely,
Ross Williams

So, basically I want someone to tell me what the story is with Fred? I just don’t find it or him funny. I’m not saying it’s stupid or anything it’s just not for me!

From what I’ve noticed Fred only seems to appeal to children,I have showed it to people my age, and the reactions was: What’s this?

But anytime I show it to my cousins or younger people, they go into hysterics. Seems to only be a younger thing.
But I suppose it is the viral thing on YouTube at the moment so we’ll have to stick with it.

For those who don’t know….
