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. ;-)

Ok, I'll give you that one. It's a compelling reason to try Ubuntu. LOL

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.

Safe surfing.

Is practiced by the user using Windows.

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.

Much easier to install programs

Could not be any easier than installing any app in Windows.

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?

Faster USB file transfers

Nope!

Faster Internet speeds

Nope!

Frank doesn't use it.

LIAR! Frank was using linux distros before you even knew there was such
a thing as linux.

Now try and tell us what you can do in linux that can't be done in Windows.
Oops!

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.

Not needed in Ubuntu. You can surf anywhere you like and open any email
you like.

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.


Much easier to install programs

Could not be any easier than installing any app in Windows.

Oh, yes it could and no reboot necessary.


Bulletproof compared to Windows malware-wise

No it isn't.

Yes, it is.


Many Linux programs are NOT made for Windows. Evolution, for example.

It answers your ill informed question, of course.

Yep.

Linux has come a long way since you used it ten years ago. I knew there
was such a thing as Linux back in 1997.

Oops!

Already did but it is obviously beyond your comprehension.

Finally, someone decided to create something like a help file for
newbies! 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

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.

Mine are. But wait...you don't use Windows Vista or Windows 7 so you
don't have a clue do you!
Oops!


Safe surfing.

Is practiced by the user using Windows.

Not needed in Ubuntu. 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.

I have not seen him posting a single fact or rely on facts in his posts

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

Alias is showing how little he knows about computers again.

Yeah, Alias is showing that he can't double click the installer exe
file.
Too difficult. ;-)

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.
