Drive Blog
You drive me crazy.

Why do Seattleites constantly drive in the far-left lane on the freeway when the lanes on the right are empty, often under the speed limit? Have they not ever heard of “keep right except to pass”?

Why do Seattle drivers merge onto the highway like snails, causing all moving cars to slow? Moreover, why when merging, do they not continue to the end of the merge lane and rather try to merge at the first possible opportunity, causing a log-jam? Why is it called “lane jumping” when such drivers (from out-of-state) rightfully continue to the end of the merging lane to the proper place to merge? Why were Seattle cops ticketing this?

Why are there State Patrols harassing people everywhere when everyone is driving so slowly anyway?

Does any bright mind think that there might be some correlation between hideous Seattle traffic and slow, incompetent driving?

I want it to be able to use a wireless adapter (it doesn’t matter what kind) so that it can connect to my router and surf the internet.

The specs of the pc are as follows:
Intel Pentium 2 processor,
64 Mb Ram,
6 gig hard drive,
16 Mb Video Card.

It also has:
CD/DVD drive
Floppy drive (no longer working)
ZIP drive
56k dial-up modem
2 usb 1.0 ports
there are no ethernet ports
(i think it has a few open PC slots)

(The only Linux distro i have used so far on it is Puppy Linux, if Puppy Linux is able to connect to the internet by use of a wireless adapter please tell me how to do so)

Also any tips on how to install the wireless adapter will help.
adding to information above…
i’ve tried installing xubuntu in normal and safe graphic mode…for some reason it freezes after the loading screen (screen with mouse and loading bar) it goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top left corner of the screen
however,
when i try to install xubuntu with the alternate cd it freezes during the software install… the most i have gotten to was 85% complete
I installed Vector Linux, and it seems to be working fine. Even better than Puppy Linux… it looks nicer than Puppy…. also after looking at a few forums i think i found the answer to my networking problems….thank you all for answering. (You might expect another question about wireless networking in Vector Linux and how to install a wireless network adapter with Windows drivers………..)
