Ubuntu 10.04 to Include Beginner's Manual
Chris Ahlstrom expressed an opinion:
KristleBawl pulled this Usenet boner: I'm a happy Vista user and I do not use *nix, at all! As far as I'm concerned, Ubuntu is not easy enough for the vast majority of Windows home users. Period. Speaking from a real hard base of experience, there, eh? Yes, my life in the work place network is over and my disabled years are being spent keeping friends and relatives online. ;-) -- Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. - Edison KristleBawl's Taglines by http://tagzilla.mozdev.org Localizations by http://www.babelzilla.org/ Get Involved |

So why would anyone need two computers or two OS's when one (Windows) will do everything? Oh and spare us the "safe surfing bull**** routine" ok. Stability. Windows is stable. Safe surfing.

LOL Sorry kristlebawl, but I've literally tried over a dozen different linux distros over the last decade and none of them fulfill the promise linux advocates have set forth. I no longer have any desire to waste my time trying another one. I find Windows Vista and now Windows 7 to perfectly suit my every need. As far as I can tell, there is absolutely no real attraction to linux other than its free, but then again, I'm not broke and the cost of Windows is relatively small in the realm of all things. YMMV. |

If this continues to be expended, it might actually give me a reason to try Ubuntu for myself one day. Until I can recommend it to my friends and relatives for everyday use, because I have to fix their user-created problems, there's no reason to check it out. Before anyone flames this message, remember, this is an *alt* group, *not* a support group. ;-P Not a flame, but being an alt newsgroup does not warrant posting off topic totally unrelated messages. At least pit OT in the subject line where people who are not interested can skip it or filter it. Yessir, officer sir! You are annoying, and have not contributed much, if anything to the group. Whether a ng is alt., or unmoderated, you should respect the charter, and do as No Spam stated. Otherwise, it's off to the Bozo-bin for you. Bye, Bozo. What charter? Normally, when a ng is created, so is a charter, to inform users of what the group is intended as. Probably less common these days, though I can't claim expertise in this area. IOW, if I'm mistaken about anything I've said, I'm listening. I don't know if there is a charter or not for this group, that's why I was asking. Sorry, my poor muddled mind th0ught you meant "what's a charter?" Hehheh |

You can surf anywhere you like and open any email you like. Keep telling yourself that lie...cause only linux users believe it. Much easier to update and updates come when ready not when it's "that time of the month". Windows is set to automatically update itself. Which is stupid when you consider that updating Windows should not be done while using it and with your anti virus' resident protection enabled. Its apparent you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to Windows Vista or Windows 7. Much easier to install programs Could not be any easier than installing any app in Windows. Oh, yes it could and no reboot necessary. That is simply another one of your incessant, insidious lies. Bulletproof compared to Windows malware-wise No it isn't. Yes, it is. Then tell me why none of my Windows computers have ever been infected? Well...? Many Linux programs are NOT made for Windows. Evolution, for example. Nautilus, ssh and One Cloud are others. So? It answers your ill informed question, of course. No it doesn't. You have yet to offer one real thing linux can do that Windows can't. Yet we all know that linux can't play games. Oops! Faster USB file transfers Nope! Yep. Not the linux distros I've tried. Faster Internet speeds Nope! Yep. You're childish responses noted. Frank doesn't use it. LIAR! Frank was using linux distros before you even knew there was such a thing as linux. Linux has come a long way since you used it ten years ago. I last used linux about a year ago. Oops! I knew there was such a thing as Linux back in 1997. That is not what you said before. You're confusing your lies...again! Oops! Now try and tell us what you can do in linux that can't be done in Windows. Oops! Already did but it is obviously beyond your comprehension. You not stated one thing you can do in linux that can't be done in Windows. NOT ONE!!! Try again or else accept the fact that you're full of **** and just STFU,ok! Oops! Yawn. hehehe...can't can you! Oops! Already did and those with a brain will see it and understand it. You not understanding it is irrelevant. You are my pawn. -- Alias |

Just a Linux lurker on this group, and what the origninal poster did was just stupid, trolling and inexcusable. If I were you I'd killfile him, ignore him and continue to do what you've been doing: discuss Windows7. It's folks like that that give Linux a black eye. Carry on... I guess you guys don't really read what you comment on. :-D I'm a happy Vista user and I do not use *nix, at all! As far as I'm concerned,--- Ubuntu is not easy enough for the vast majority of Windows home users. Period.--- Not true, I have many clients happily using Linux of one flavor or another, who, (respectfully), are basically clueless users. Once set up, there isn't really much to using it. Pretty much the same as Winders in some ways. Clueless people are just that, "CLUELESS" it doesn't really matter WHAT OS is involved I have found. Clueless is clueless, regardless. It is the TEACHING, that matters. Once I have taught users on THEIR CHOICE of OS, they move right along. It makes NO difference which OS they choose. This bit of one OS being better than the other is hogwash. It is ALL about the needs, wants, education, and not solely the OS "PERIOD." If this were a *real* Window 7 newsgroup, I would have made a better subject line in my first post, instead of pasting the article title. This IS a "real" Win7 news group. What a crack-up.. Whatever, you posted pro Ubuntu in an MS orientated group basically, and are now backpedaling. ..Unnecessarily I might add. BOTH OS's have good points and bad points. I happily use them both for different reasons, no need to take sides. Oh, and "A reason to try Ubuntu for myself one day."(?) That is just too funny. Apparently you have some expertise, yet you haven't downloaded a LIVE ISO of some Linux flavor or another and ACTUALLY checked it out? ..Yet you have an opinion that, "Ubuntu is not easy enough for the vast majority of Windows home users. Period."(?) How can you possibly state that, having not tried it? Gimme a break! I tested Win7 from beta through RC, and like it a lot, in fact MUCH better than the EXPENSIVE Vista Ultimate I purchased. (Which recently crashed with the dreaded BLACK Screen of Death - KSOD) However, I really like the Linux I have as well, so I use them BOTH for my purposes, and it works out very well. G'day I agree 100%. Why not have the best of both worlds? You keep saying that but I've yet to come across anything that can't be done using Windows that can be done on linux. Whereas we all know you can't run most games on linux. So you can do everything on Windows but not everything on linux. So why would anyone need two computers or two OS's when one (Windows) will do everything? Oh and spare us the "safe surfing bull**** routine" ok. Stability. Windows is stable. LOL! Good one, Frank.

I kill filed him right after I posted my last message to him, I expected that he would have posted nasty flames, and he probably did. I have not seen him posting a single fact or rely on facts in his posts which had nothing but garbage and should go to linux advocacy newsgroup where retards like him live. I suggest that everyone kill files that troll or ignores him, once he is ignored he will go away. Who are you talking about? You got lost reading that? I was talking about the "Alias" troll. |

Even worse excuse. This news group is alt therefore I can do whatever I want, this newsgroup is not a real Windows 7 newsgroup, this newsgroup is not properly named, blah blah blah. Facts are facts. The entire alt.* hierarchy was invented because no one liked the idea that free.* really meant freedom of speech. Obviously you missed the sarcasm in my initial post, too. Speaking of facts, the newsgroup SUBJECT is there for some reason... Freedom of speech != chaos and being inconsiderate. |

I don't know what is hard to click the "Check for updates now" or even going to updates.microsoft.com. Alias is showing how little he knows about computers again. Much easier to install programs Could not be any easier than installing any app in Windows. LOL! Yeah, Alias is showing that he can't double click the installer exe file. Too difficult. ;-) Bulletproof compared to Windows malware-wise No it isn't. Many Linux programs are NOT made for Windows. Evolution, for example. Nautilus, ssh and One Cloud are others. So? Someone should tell the Alias troll that ssh is a protocol and not a program, ssh serves and clients EXIST for windows. Also evolution is a cheap and actually bad attempt to produce software like Outlook. There is not a single software on Linux desktop that is either available on Windows or have a superior Windows counterpart. Faster USB file transfers Nope! ROFL. How can a protocol operate at different speeds based on the OS? This Alias troll is amusing, I almost regret kill filing it. Faster Internet speeds Nope! Same question applies here. Hey Alias troll, post your research and statistics from well recognized non-biased sites or references that shows Linux has faster USB file transfers and "Faster Internet speeds" proven by lab tests. Go ahead and do it, instead of continuing to fill this newsgroup with lies and un proven crap. And to the others, please consider not responding to him/it, the more he gets replies to more he continues to post his outrageous lies and trolling. |
