@Capt SpifyAGAIN, that was 1995! 1995! ELEVEN YEARS AGO IN 1995! Compare that to Win3.1 (Win 95 stable hadn't released yet) Software install on Linux today is *click* done. Unless you're running something non-free, where you have to click yes on an EULA one extra time.
@ everyonewrite a comment . and most of you loose your cool? Most of you probably to the point of bashing your keyboard like the angry german kid.No need to apologize avester this is a forum it involves debate. Or at least it use to. Your ideas are a valid as mine, i was simply stating i dont think there is a "right" OS. I was not taking offense.people like hosiah/penguin pete blow it up. Voluntarily declines to provide a logical rebuttel and says "f**k You". then offers up a worthless analogy McDonalds Cash register? Your comparing that to outlook or quicken or an operating system???? Than wraps up his tiraid by bringing God into the equation. God in a OS debate, well i think this is one Loony Linux zealot that has gone of the deep end and offers no real value to any debate other than to tear it down.Answer this one question if Linux is so superior to windows and is FREE as you all put it. Why isnt every corporation on the planet using it for all of its IT operations? I know all these Fortune 500 comapnies would love to save money (sometimes million dollar IT budgets) Why arent they switching there must be a reason???(HINT: Its not really free)
@MikeCermOoopsie, I blew it last time. I'll try it again:Just HOW many people have to respond in this thread to tell you you don't know s**t what you're saying before you shut the hell up?And how many times do I have to point out that you anti-Linux zealots have been using this same tired argument since 1995 when it actually had some validity? Go back to your boss in Redmond! Tell him, "They're on to us. We need to make up some new FUD." Hire a writer to upgrade the anti-freedom hymnal. At least make it fun for everybody.PS The next thing you anti-Linux, Microsoft-paid, FUD-spreading, astroturfers always claim is how much you actually LOVE Linux, and THAT'S why you respond with rage and flaming to every story you see about somebody who has nothing to do with you adopting Linux because they would like to. If this was a story about how Illinois schools was painting their lockers green instead of blue or starting a new civics class or switching from coke to pepsi in the vending machines, you wouldn't be seen in here. But let one person speak up and say they like to use Linux, and you pounce on them with the same stupid lines every time.Nobody is stupid enough to fall for it but you. Whatever you're getting to work in a sweatshop pounding a keyboard for eight hours a day, I hope it's worth it.
retard? and f**k you? honestly i dont know where you are going with your insults. is it a cool thing for you? does it make you feel better? like your a bad ass or something??Well ill do the right thing here and not carry this on any further. im just not a fan of mixing dogmatic preaching into a OS debate.
