What is Digg?7 Comments
- poet_will, on 04/22/2008, -3/+8Leave it alone, man. If he was running windows would you demand instructions for every version from 3.11? He's using Ubuntu, not Debian, or Suse, or Fedora or Mandriva, or PCLinuxOS, or Mint, or Damn Small or any other distro.
- SnowCrashv5, on 04/22/2008, -5/+7watch this... you're stupid "Ubuntu" article can be turned into a "Linux" article really simply:
On Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install hugin
On Debian: sudo apt-get install hugin
On Suse: zypper in hugin
On Fedora: yum install hugin
On Mandriva: urpmi hugin
For everyone else grap the source here:
Or better yet, Windows users grab it here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group ...
In fact: everyone go here for download instructions:
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/
See how many ways we can make this non-Ubuntu specific? Why would we do that you ask? Because you're writing a tutorial about an application and using Ubuntu as a buzz word to garnish attention. Cheap.
and configure, make, make install - poet_will, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1I don't think he is spamming digg. He is using Ubuntu and therefore is showing how to use the program through his operating system. He obviously links to the program's website, so if you were using any other operating system you would go to the website and check it out. Don't bash the man for using a good operating system and wanting to show people a program he has found.
- eklem, on 12/03/2008, -0/+1You got a digg from me even if I disagree. From what I've seen from usability-tests, regular users tend to not differ between OS and applications. In this case they want to create panoramas, and they've heard that Ubuntu is easy.
So, from my point of view, you're correct when it comes to the details, but regular users often don't care about those details. - iRelinquish, on 04/23/2008, -1/+2ahh, you didn't baby us and tell us its sudo make install.
- EnPleinDedans, on 04/22/2008, -3/+4As spoted above I'm using Ubuntu and not another distro. I couldn't help with the others since I don't know them. You know why? Because i'm just an average user that switched from windows one year ago and got no time to test each Linux distro. I'm not a Linux evngelist neither an Ubuntu one.
It's great you add information to make it useful for users working with other distros, too bad you made it with this condescending tone
Thanks to people like you Linux could remain an elit-stuff forever. - SnowCrashv5, on 04/23/2008, -1/+1All i'm saying is that it's not an Ubuntu application, it's a cross platform application and the documentation for it on their applications website, is superb enough for everyone. If you're going to review an app, review the app. Quit Ubuntu-spamming digg.
