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.

Remember, if your using Ubyourbutttooooo, you're a f*cking moron. But we

After you install Ubuntu, you will see a question mark to the left on
the top panel. It's the help file. When you open Firefox for the first
time, you will see links to support, forums and very extensive
documentation so you don't need to wait to free yourself from Windows.


You're going to need more than a question mark you moron

Maybe your reading comprehension is a bit lacking. The group is
alt.windows7.general. I don't remember seeing Ubuntu anywhere. This
is for general questions and issues regarding Windows 7. I am not
surprised that the trolls disregard that bit of information.


This is an unmoderated forum. Anything goes. If you can't handle it,
go cry on Frank's shoulder.


That is the only reason a lying POS linturd troll like you is here.
You've been thrown out of or banned and barred from all moderated
groups. Everyone knows you're nothing but a GD spamming, lying linturd
troll. Hell, you've even been thrown out of linux groups!
Oops!

Anyway, most here don't give a RATS ASS about that INFERIOR Ubuntu.


You only speak for yourself and quite badly.

If you want to use it go ahead but we don't need or want to hear
about it.


"We"? You mean you who starts more threads on Ubuntu than *anyone* else.


Maybe I should report when I take a ****.


Been that long, eh? Tell your doc or have some prune juice.

Aliass has been thrown out of every group he's ever been in. Except
one of course. His sheep male f*cking group.

Not good enough. ;-P

First and foremost, I really honestly *love* Vista, and I want to know
more about what is different in Windows7. :-D

Next, the friends and family for whom I provide tech support do not know
that Usenet exists, and they do not use an email client, either. Hotmail
and Gmail are browser toolbar buttons. ;-)


Do they have a phone?


Also, my *only* interest in Ubuntu is limited to the few still using XP,
because they can't afford to buy Vista or windows7. (Retired, etc.)


I would recommend you try it first before trying to get others to try it.


Finally, I'm disabled and most of my tech support is by phone or through
email/IM, instead of hands-on. *If* I ever recommend Ubuntu to any of
them, it will have to be easy for them to learn without me sitting there
next to them.


A phone should be enough after they've received the CD in the mail and
you've done it a few times.


I'd rather try to keep their XP machines running well until they can
save up for a new $499 pc at Walmart. Hopefully, a Windows7 OEM.


It sounds like the people you support would do better with a system that
doesn't need the kind of updating and maintaining that XP/Vista/7 does
but whatever turns you on. The only update they'll ever need for Ubuntu
once you get it set up for them is to click on an orange icon near their
clock, key in their password and watch. It can even be set to
automatically update so they don't have to do anything but use their
computer and not worry about malware, maintaining or updating.

You fool Upyurbuttooo get 10's of upfates every day. Talk about broken
garbage

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.

Yes, that's my plan, on my old system that I only use for testing
software. Again, only *if* I choose to go that route.

Finally, I'm disabled and most of my tech support is by phone or through
email/IM, instead of hands-on. *If* I ever recommend Ubuntu to any of
them, it will have to be easy for them to learn without me sitting there
next to them.

clock, key in their password and watch. It can even be set to
automatically update so they don't have to do anything but use their
computer and not worry about malware, maintaining or updating.


Better yet, I have all of their software and Windows set up to just
automatically download and install updates at night, so all they do is
reboot each morning. That takes care of system updates, anti-virus, etc.

For the Vista users, I even told them which sidebar gadget to use for a
big green restart button; no start menu action needed.

If they're interested in a new program, I download/install it first on
my test machine, *before* they do, and that has prevented many extras,
like toolbars and malware, because I could tell them step-by-step what
to click while installing, or tell them not to use it at all.

So far, Windows7 looks much better than Ubuntu, even without a sidebar.

F*ck, Windows 3.1 is better than upyourbuttooooo

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

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


You said it. Linsux users are clueless
