I assume you mean most people in the USA. Here in Spain, most
people buy computers to order unless it's a laptop and I know
many people who own laptops and the first thing they did was nuke
Windows and install Linux.
If that was the truth, then way does Linux have less then 5% of
the desktops?



Let's see, how did you come up with that figure? Supposedly, there
are about 1 billion computers on line in the world which would mean,
according to your figures, that there a 50 million Linux users. Fact
is, however, that no one knows how many Linux installs there are
because Linux doesn't need to be activated or become "genuine" and
there are no store receipts to count like there is with Windows. I
suspect if you take the stats of the backwards USA out of the
picture, the user share for Linux would be much higher. After all,
only the USA could have such ignorant, biased bigots running for
congress like there are today. Those same supporters of Beck,
Limbaugh, Palin, O'Donnell and Rand Paul don't know any better than
to order a computer from Best Buy with Windows preloaded.


I was being nice when I said 5%, most websites say less then 1%.
http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/1...-Linux-Is-Dead

Slashdot wasn't the only one reporting... You can spin the data
anyway you want but Linux on the desktop isn't going far, unlike in
the server room.

Linux on the desktop has already gone far and is growing. Live with it
and get the **** over it.


I gave you where I got my info, now how about you showing where you got
your numbers, if you can?

From you.

I agree Linux is growing in the backroom but not on the desktop, advocates
have been saying this is the Year of Desktop Linux, then when the year
ends, it now where to be seen.

False, at least in Spain. I see computer chains installing Ubuntu or
Mint. I see books about Linux in the department stores. I know dozens of
people who use it. I didn't see that a few years ago.

One last thing, I would love to see Linux on everyone desktop,

Then install it on one.

I use it
for my data server, in fact I just got a 'new computer' that will make a
nice upgrade from my old one.



Are you going to put Linux on it?

Happy because they are ignorant and don't know any better.

Is that the best you can come up with? So you think over 90% of
computer users, worldwide are ignorant? And most of the very
successful mega-corporations use Windows...are they too ignorant?

Frank.... there are many times the Window's systems are down in the
stores and medical centers here although I admit it's been improving
here in the past few years.

Really? and exactly which "Windows system" are you referring to?
This is a Windows 7 ng, in case you failed to notice.

And who uses 90% of computers? Certainly not
businesses. Look at all the personal PCs out there. Millions of them in
the USA alone. Almost every single person I know has a PC, even people
in their 70s and one is in his 80s.

WTF are you talking about?

It only is allowed on line for updates.

I have to admit that Windows 7 is most likely the bestest version of
Windows since Windows 2000 but even still I have removed it from my Dell
system in favor of Linux Ubuntu which I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10
from
10.04 with not a single trouble. Linux just does everything I need and
does
it for free. I can compile a slim kernel to use on my P4 system or I can
have a fat kernel for my i7 system. It's my choice. Windows 7 puts an
extra
100 mb partition on my drive that I don't want. Why is that? Linux does
what I tell it to do instead of doing what some corrupt company thinks I
want to do. I use my Garmin GPS, Android phone, Sansa mp3 player and my
Sony USB turntable with Linux and have no problems. So why spend $165 on
Windows 7? I've been asking myself the same question. Time to ebay the
dung
pile and get back at least some of my money. Linux may not be the most
popular system but in my opinion it's the best, at least for me.

Why do you like Ubuntu more? What problems were you having with W-7?

Why? I'm glad you asked:

1. No need for an anti virus or anti malware program.

Big deal! As installing WSE is difficult.

2. Installing Ubuntu is way easier than Windows and Linux Mint is even
easier.

Now that is one of your biggest GD lies!

3. Linux is more stable.

More lies and bull****!

4. All the updates for everything you've installed are updated from one
source. An orange icon appears when you have updates and the only time
you need to reboot is for a new kernel or new video drivers.

Can you say "Windows update"?

5. Linux is more configurable. Here's a taste:

You're out of your sheep-****ing mind!
