Introductions / New to WattOS
« on: May 21, 2014, 03:19:46 AM »
Hello guys!
i just got done resurrecting an old win98' laptop using WattOS after finding it on a "Top 50 Linux Distros" article i found on google. So far i LOVE the OS. My old laptop (Compaq Presario R3000) used to be upgraded to xp, but since microsoft dropped support I needed a new OS. So far this works blazing fast and does just about everything I could want in a clean, orderly maner. My olny issue atm is packages telling me they need "Administrative privilages" which i tried using my password for and it does'nt seem to work. I tried the common "root" and "toor" pw's from Backtrack Linux to no avail. Once i get things more in order i look forward to getting to know this os better.
