Troubles in Paradise

So, I recently put linux on my lappy-toppy, and I must say it is quite the upgrade. Ubuntu certainly knows what its doing as far as operating systems go. However...

I decided to install Linux Mint on my main rig, which in turn decided to give up on wireless internet. So, my difficulty lies with coding up the .inf files of my previous installation of windows into linux so that I can use my USB wireless adapter. ITs awesome, tbh. I love troubleshooting my computer. It gives me a sense of knowledge that can only be achieved in a real world scenario. The treasure hunts for information and data, it exudes an almost explorer-like scenario, like I'm some sort of Magellan of the wilderness that is the internet, scouring for tips and files throughout the maze of forums and websites. This takes me back to scavenger-hunts I would put on for myself when I was a child.

It was early 2002, and I was living in Carmine, Tx. Here is where Carmine, Tx is:


That highway is 290. It runs all the way from Houston to Austin. Carmine is halfway in between Houston and Austin. It is also in the middle of the hill country, which means it has long roads and big hills. Anyway, I used to hide toys and other little knick-knacks for other people to find. I also enjoyed finding things that other people had hid.

Anyway, Linux is a strange, new world, and I readily await delving deeper into it.
