If you know any bicycle related words in Thai, please show them below. I'll start

Tyre -yaang

Inner Tube -yaang nai

Saddle -aan

light -fai

I think this article covers many of the points raised in this thread.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Hi all, which bike shop sells the best selection of locks in Bangkok. The lock in mine is about go to so I thought I'd pay a bit more (1000-2000) for something better. I don't mind paying a bit more than that for a quality lock though.

'Spy on a girl'? Funny thread. Here's another for you:

'What do you call someone who hides in a bakery?'

'A Mince Pie'

Get it?

It's to do with elision.

Unless you bought it in the last year and a bit, it will be USB 2.0. Unless its very old (10 years) and about 32mg in size.

What a dreadful thread.

Try Burapha English Programme School (BEST). Schoolfees etc you can find on their website www.burapha.ac.th The school is on Soi 81 off Sukhumvit road . email at [email protected] tel: 038420848 and ask for the head master

That school has a very dubious history. It used to be a bi-lingual school, I would be very surprised if it passes itself off for an international school now.

This may help

The Guardian has recently run a lot of stories with guides to Tor, which operates for people who prefer to retain privacy. It's not designed for the criminal element although some will probably opt for it.

I also chose Linux Mint after using Ubuntu for several years, simply to get away from their Unity interface (urgh...). I have found Mint with the Cinnamon interface to be an absolute pleasure to use. It is certainly worthy of your consideration.

How would you say they compare in terms of speed?

if you really want speed go with something having little bloatware - lubuntu, crunchbang, archbang and antix (and puppy, i suppose) tend to be lightning fast because they are not loaded with crap you don't want or need.

or, you can use a netinstall of ubuntu or fedora (the only 2 major distros i know which have minimal installers available) and build your own, but that is typically not for beginners

okay, well speed will do but in all probability, coming from windows most if not all os will seem fast. It's more stability and security that I am after. Would you say that Mint is quicker than Ubuntu?

You will install linux with this level of computer knowledge? I recommend not!

Not interested in your opinion sweetheart, just an answer to the question, that's all.

That kind of attitude will not help you with your future linux troubles on internet.

Except that the comment is directed at you and only you. Others are welcome to post with information addressing the issue at hand.

er ...4 mg I mean

It's up to you. How much RAM is installed?

4 gig

So if the architecture of the laptop is 64 bit, its best to stick with that?

Hi all, I bought a laptop for my daughter who I am not with at the moment. I asked her if its a 32 or 64 bit operating system being used. She said its using windows 7 64bit. If I want to install linux do I have to install 64 bit also?

Do you think other people are really interested in a blow-by-blow account of your download problems?

No they are not and furthermore this thread was started so that I can find a better way to review different operating systems. I would be grateful if the offender in question could start his own thread about his own problems rather than hijacking this one.

Linux Mint.

If my Thai wife can use it and feel comfortable with it anyone can.

Have been using Linux on my desktops at home for the last three years, currently have Linux Mint 15 installed which runs perfectly.

Yeah thanks, though its more the security tools aspect associated with Kali that I am interested in. If they can all be run on Mint, then that's my answer probably

Do we have sound?

I doubt it. The heat is probably from a fan vent nearby

Sorry, I think I may have misunderstood you. Is Kali an operating system itself with what was formerly the backtrack tool set with it?

Yes, Kali is a full blown distribution, as was backtrack. Not really suitable for everyday use (although it could be), and is not the most user friendly. I use it in a VM for when I need its particular tools

Why is not suitable for everyday use if I may ask?

to address your last question first, do you mean backtrack the penetration testing tools, or backtrac the backup software? if the former, backtrack linux is now kali linux, and is a full distribution in itself - you can install the tools on any distro (and there are several other security based distros available), but if that's what you are asking about you just install kali.

Sorry, I think I may have misunderstood you. Is Kali an operating system itself with what was formerly the backtrack tool set with it?

Linux Mint should fit well for your requirements. I have been using it for 3+ years now, tried many others. Very good with updating and usual Linux security. I prefer the Cinnamon interface but the others are well supported.

Hi yeah, after having a look around, it seems as though I will try mint first and if I don 't like it have a rethink.

Agree with earlier comments, I was surprised at how bloated ubuntu is.
