Friendly African Ground Squirrels
Vincent Massi > 06-29-2016, 11:33 PM
I gained enough confidence in Linux to upgrade from Wiley Werewolf to the newest version: Xenial Xerus (Friendly African Ground Squirrels).
The system runs smoothly and easily, now that I have figured out how to run Linux. Unlike Chrome, Linux does have a learning curve. But while Windows 10 has crashed twice in the last two days (to be fair, I was playing a high-end game both times) Linux hasn't crashed once.
Xerus is easier to figure out than Werewolf and it runs noticeably faster. In fact, it runs faster than XP, 8, and 10, all of which I have on the same machine. I have sent e-mails, posted on Facebook, and even posted on this site with no problems. If installing Linux on a partitión is too complicated, pay a computer shop a small fee (It cost me about $16) to put it on a flash drive.
And by the way, I'm not the guy who comes up with these names. -

Silly name? I challenge anybody to show a better Windows or Mac title than "Friendly African Ground Squirrels"!
Anyway, I found this yesterday: http://files.ubuntu-manual.org/manuals/g...016.04.pdf
It is a 141 page free manual for Ubuntu 16.04. It's very easy to understand and has got me more advanced into the new system. -

cheetah snacks.......
seriously...... that;s what i think of when i see the name "friendly african ground squirrels"...... ..... coz ultimately.... that;s what an african ground squirrel.... whether friendly or otherwise... is destined to become...
.. you might even say it;s their place on the food chain... .......... another name for such a squirrel living on the ground could be easy prey....... especially in a place like africa ..... where it;s eat or be eaten....... .... and when you think about it that;s kinda what the atmosphere of the internet has been turning into in recent years..... so i don;t know if that;s what i would want my operating system known as if i were to invent one myself.... and considering the hostile environment it would have to survive in......... 
........but that;s just me......

Linux wanted me to upgrade my drivers, which were running fine. There is no "System Restore Point," as in Windows. But online forums assured me that there would be no problem. I finally upgraded, and I see no difference. The forum leaders assure me that my Linux system is safer as a result.
No big deal. -
