definately fake raid if it's in the bios.

Yep. Anything that Linux can't do properly is fake.

Are you thinking of Windows for Workgroups 3.11? Please note that that
was different from Windows 3.11.

It *was* WFW 3.11. I didn't realise that there was a seperate version
3.11 that *wasn't* WFW.


Straight w3.11 was a bit buggy. M$ had to clean a lot of bugs up
the get WFW3.11 to network properly

While I know that Windows 3.1 and its successor weren't perfect, I never
found the experience of using it to be that bad. I guess I was just lucky.

I installed Linux two days ago... it ignored my RAID and once
installed, froze after going to sleep and prevented Steam from
working at all after an update. To say the least, mediocre software
doesn't deserve to be run in general.

Sorry to hear that. That is not usual.
Not sure what you mean "ignored my Raid".
No idea what Steam is.

You give no details so you are going to get no help.

By "ignored my RAID" I meant that my two 128GB M.2 SSDs were set up to
be treated as one 240GB M.2 SSD in RAID0. It helps with speed and I find

What kind of raid? I think what you meant was that you forgot to tell
Linux to use those two as raid. It has no idea what you want done with
the disks. You have to tell it.

RAID0. I know how to "tell" Linux how to do things, it simply didn't see
the RAID which had been set by the damned BIOS. This is a Linux problem,
not a user or computer problem.

You "know" diddly squat about linux, as you have proven hundreds of times in
your inane and completely idiotic posts top COLA.

As far as I know, you're the one who has a webpage dedicated to your
many mistakes and erroneous statements. In fact, you're referred to as
the Usenet Klöwn. Stop projecting your own inadequacies on everyone else.

You are stupid beyond any
imagination,

Says the guy who believed that Windows 95 was not DOS-based.

and if your windows computer would not come preinstalled you
would be totally unable to use any computer

LOL. Absolutely.

What I'm saying is that Linux should work in the same way regardless of
which distribution you choose. There is no reason for packages to be
different from one distribution to another nor is there a reason for one
of the programs (like Steam) to work incorrectly in one distribution
because it wasn't optimized for games. Every distribution should strive
to satisfy every potential user and shouldn't only focus on one type of
user at a time.

Idiot. Who are you to demand that distros should be basically the same? It
is one of the strenght of linux that it does not cater to only one type of
users, the rest be damned, like your beloved wintendo toy OS

And also, why should the different maintainers give a **** what a racist

Most people didn't, and still don't realize it. That's because it was
such a minor version.

My point is just that you shouldn't call WFWG 3.11 simply 3.11, since
it will confuse some people.

An intelligent person who has a shred of interest in a mediocre
operating system known as Linux. I am aware that very few of us exist.

It

One of the strengths of Wintendo toy OS users is that we are able to
spell strength.

Firstly because Islam is not a race and people who hate it are therefore
not racist and because supposed dimbulbs like us are the one who have
the money and influence to decide which software succeeds and which
fails miserably. It's not a coincidence that the soup prepared in a
soiled toilet known as Linux is a complete and utter failure.

"Isalm" aka "Muslims" is a geo-political movement which expouses the
overthrow of current world governments by violence and force and masks
itself as a "religion" in order to gain the benefits of civilized nations
which grant considerations to legitimate religious organizations.

All Hitler would have needed to do is declare "Nazi" as a religion, then he
could have just immigrated his armies instead of invading countries....

Migrants were responsible for over 200,000 crimes in Germany between
2014 and 2015. This bigot considers that unforgivable.

Once again, they were responsible for 200,000 crimes within the span of
two years in one country, most of them of sexual nature. For people who
"want no part of war" they sure are doing a good job waging it.

Call me a bigot but you are the very definition of an idiot.

Pontiac no longer exists... to be honest, I doubt that Chrysler will for
much longer.

Chrysler recently announced that they'll stop building cars and simply focus
on the truck/SUV segment of the market, which brings up an interesting
observation for me. I rent one to two vehicles a week and about a third of
the time it happens to be a Chrysler 200, a fairly nice little car that has
been brought remarkably up scale in recent years. Two weeks ago it was a
2016 model, and while still half a light year behind similar offerings from
the likes of Toyota and Honda, it was actually decent. Then just last week I
specified the Manager's Special to see what they'd give me, and it was a
2016 Dodge SUV, supposedly the part of the company that they're pinning
their future hopes on. What a complete POS that vehicle was. Anyone
considering buying one would be well served to go rent one for a day. That
should be enough to have you looking elsewhere.

I bought my last American-badged vehicle in 1978, so maybe I'm part of the
problem, but once you see what the Japanese are doing, and the Europeans and
in recent years even the Koreans, I don't see how you can forget all of that
and settle for an American model. Ford looks like they're at least making an
attempt, but GM isn't trying very hard to earn my dollar and Chrysler
doesn't seem to be trying much at all, especially if that SUV was any
indication.

My last three Toyotas were traded when they had 340,000 miles, 280,000
miles, and 130,000 miles, respectively, with that last one being consumed in
a fire. My current Toyota has only 155,000 miles. Each of those Vehicles has
had remarkably low maintenance costs, typically just oil changes and a new
battery every 8 years or so, in addition to the normal wear items.
Meanwhile, friends, neighbors, and extended family members with American
models always seem to be complaining about something breaking. For them,
they can't imagine keeping a vehicle beyond 100,000 miles, but I remember
that being the magic number back in the 50's and 60's. Every vehicle should
be expected to go well beyond that now.

I absolutely agree with all of the above and admit that the Jeep I
bought was a one time experiment. I wasn't impressed and will never
purchase an American car again. My BMW is doing fine and chances are
that I will go for another after it but at the very minimum, it will be
a Korean car.
