I hate filenames

I’m really frustrated atm.. I’m trying to migrate all my data from my old notebook to my new one… well.. I’m still TRYING….

I’ve got some files with some ******* long and extraordinary characters so that windows can’t copy them

I’ve also tried with linux but it coun’t create the folders.. I’m a bit lost atm what to do.. I’m trying to remove all the files with these crazy filenames but it takes time to find them using the crappy windows copying tool -.-

Edit: Ah.. good old linux Can someone tell me why I haven’t thought about this before

find . -name *"\?"*

For those who don’t know: this lists all files with unknown characters (which make problems under windows) of the current directory… now you can easily deal with them (unix/linux can handle them )

Notebook’s finally here — “Test” will follow later

So.. long time you heard nothing from me.. so here’s a status update

I’ve got my hands on my brand new notebook It’s absolutely cool

I’ll post pics as soon as I can. Already tested and tortured it to stresstest it ^^

Atm I’ve installed thes OS’ses:

• Windows XP SP3 x86
• Windows Vista SP1 x64 (well sometimes you need to game too ^^)
• Sabayon Linux 3.5 x86
• openSUSE 11.0 x64

They seem to work really well on this hardware.. although the only things I find really annoying on this notebook are the lack of a real scrollarea on the touchpad (you can scroll with the fingerprint reader!!!) and the really long startup of the bios (and the bios is empty..the only thing you can do with it is set the time!!!)

Well.. that was it so far.. need to get back to setting up all systems ^^
