Linux Ubuntu Really Is Better Than Windows 7
I'll admit I was skeptical about trying Linux, especially after
reading all the Linux sucks messages. I have to admit though, after trying Ubuntu Linux I am pleasantly surprised. There is so much included with this distribution that I can't believe they give it away for free! After using Windows 7 since the beta testing, I have finally removed it and switched totally to Linux. It hasn't been completely smooth, but overall, things worked fine for me right from the install which only took 15 minutes. I'm still trying to get my Lexmark printer to work. I haven't figured out how to get sound installed but I have been playing with a program called modprobe and it appears the driver sound.o is not being loaded so at least I am making progress. The other problem I am having is with my ATI card which doesn't seem to want to go over 800x600 rezolootion. That's not acceptable on a 22 inch LCD monitor but I am working on that one. I should have the kinks worked out by the end of the weekend. I can't believe Linux is free. They could easily charge $100.00 for this software. You should try Linux before criticizing it. You might be pleasently surprised. I am. Kisses! SP |

Linux Ubuntu Really Is Better Than Windows 7
Your message could have been a lot shorter if you posted what actually did
work with Linux. Looks like a typical Linux experience to me. 1. Install Linux and nothing works 2. Spend weeks searching the Internet to find solutions to problems. 3. Fix some problems but others crop up. 4. Remove Linux and go back to Windows. It happens all the time and I'll hazard a guess that in a week or so you will be back to Windows 7. BTW have you tried douching ? It might help your smelly pussy. If not, you'll fit right in with the unwashed bearded Linux masses. Do you enjoy eating toe jam like this guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ "Smelly Pussy" wrote in message .. .

The choice is yours. Of course you can always play a rip roaring game of Tux Racer! 3. Fix some problems but others crop up. A lie. A fact. www.ubuntu.com 4. Remove Linux and go back to Windows. LOL! *That's* funny. If all those downloads that the Linux freaks claim are happening were still in use a week after they were first installed, we would not be talking about Windows because it's market share would be very low. The truth is, people download Linux, try Linux and then remove Linux because they discover for themselves that Linux sucks! |

If that disappoints you, tough titties. 2. Spend weeks searching the Internet to find solutions to problems. Installed mine in less time than it takes to have a cup of coffee. Yea, now what? Compile your kernel or play with emacs. The choice is yours. How about these things?: Surf the web Burn CDs. Rip CDs. Listen to music. Watch vidoes/DVDs. Scan and print. Spreadsheets. Presentations Newsgroups. HTML editing. Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc. Make videos. Download photos from a camera and organize them. Translations. Use a dictionary Learn how to touch type. Edit images. Send and receive a fax. Take screenshots. Create .PDF files. Create and use a data base. Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including Windows Live Messenger. IRC. Bluetooth. and much more! What you can't do with Ubuntu: Worry about: WPA and WGA raising their ugly heads, DRM, Viruses, Root kits, Spyware, and Malware. Of course you can always play a rip roaring game of Tux Racer! Never heard of it, sorry. I use Windows for gaming. After all, it is the toy operating system. 3. Fix some problems but others crop up. A lie. A fact. www.ubuntu.com Yawn. 4. Remove Linux and go back to Windows. LOL! *That's* funny.

I can't believe Linux is free.
They could easily charge $100.00 for this software. You should try Linux before criticizing it. You might be pleasently surprised. I am. Kisses! SP Lol, it seems that almost everybody failed to understand the sarcasm of your message. Linux will be the real option to W7 as soon as it starts to cost at least as much as W7, there's no such things as GOOD and FREE, believe me everything that's good as a cost. |
