I think the Windows tainting is Linux's first thing to overcome. It is to get people out of M$'s way to do things.xboxrulz

XIII, I'm sorry to disappointing, but I used my Windows partition to play Freelancer. I try to use my Cedega as much as possible though, like I play Renegade, Generals and etc. on Cedega.xboxrulz

but you're missing this problem. Linux/UNIX aren't for developers or professors, I use Linux and I am an experienced user (though). People who use my computers with KDE installed on top Linux could figure out how to use the system with only like a little help like where's the start button (it's the K-Menu in KDE).Linux/UNIX is as easy to use as Windows . Plus, Windows doesn't have one command installation system that Linux has (APT/Ports/EMERGE/YUM/YOU). Windows users usually need to search for their software, download, go through the Next --> I Accept -->Choose installation location --> Next --> Install --> Finish process.xboxrulz

Graffiti, I recommend SuSE LinuxIt never failed me once!xboxrulz

The funny thing is that KDE and Mac OS X's Aqua system and Windows XP's GUI is almost the same in technology and "advanceness". For people to say that Microsoft puts tonnes of money to fund it, would show that they're just wasting more time and effort than KDE and Mac.Mac OS X and KDE are very easy to get hold with after at least a month; same with Windows.Windows much more easier? No, it's as easy as KDE/Mac.xboxrulz

The best solution to this problem is to use the UNIX security feature, that user accounts can't write outside of the /home directory. The most damage it can do is the home directory. xboxrulz

it's kind of funny how all the ppl who say Windows is the best has barely any supporting details. The only answer is it's the best, there are more software on Windows.Is that all that these Windows users can say??xboxrulz

Office 12 is now called Office 2007xboxrulz

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, and you win" - GahndiI think his quote is true about Microsoft. Microsoft is now more vulnerable than ever and it's dominance is toppling or starting to squeek.Can't wait until it does (fall apart)!xboxrulz

I highly doubt it:

It's kinda funny how SP2's firewall thinks Symantec products are adware/spyware.xboxrulz

you need like a 3.0 GHz machine to run this bloatware.xboxrulz

unimatrix, not everyone is an "elite or 1337" user. Those who are and will be running Linux are mostly "standard" users, an "average joe". They won't know how to create funny libraries, they'll just use it because it just works.For example, Opera and Firefox. They are successful examples because they've been releasing Linux versions when a new software version is created. They support Linux users quite well too.Running into odd libraries wouldn't happen unless the programmer chooses to do so. If the programmer knows that they're going to depend on a weird library, then include it in your binary.xboxrulz

how bout this demolaynyyc:YOU'VE BEEN BRAIN WASHED BY MICROSOFT.It's perfectly fine that your CD pops up an icon on your desktop. It shows that your CD is mounted. Also Macs are easier to use than Windows.I've only used Macs a few times in the past because my old school had it.I use Linux now, that you can say is a bit confusing.xboxrulz

I never knew that, I'm using Intel Pentium anyways, so there's no difference for me.xboxrulz

well, it seems now they've unblocked after like a negotiation or something.xboxrulz

it's Windows 95 all over again, except it's not 6 months late, it's 2 years late (at least)!xboxrulz

there are many exploits on SP2, it creates some itself and doesn't patch crap.The only patch that it gave me is game stability. 3D rendering is fixed with SP2, that's all.xboxrulz

I think iPods will be gone in years to come and be replaced with Rokr, W600i phones.ORiPod Micron <-- newest iPod, magnifying glass included, we're not responsible if you lose it B)Anyways, I got a Rokr and I'm happy (except the 100 song cap)xboxrulz

sry, gentoo doesn't it uses the ports system that BSD also has.xboxrulz

lol, must be a Windows glitch, usually, it's Windows which causes these problems, or the software that keeps the database is causing the problem.xboxrulz

I bought a RJ-45 (Cat 5) 50 feet cable dangling from my router to my XBOX for just around $15 CAD. Also, it's a snagless cable with those connectors inplace, no fidling with wires required.xboxrulz

NetBeans has a bundle with Java JDK 1.5, just download that and use the graphical console like konsole to open it.sh <filename>xboxrulz

CHMODing as someone said is impossible.On Windows, you don't need to because Folders usually have no security implemented on default.If someone did implement a folder lock, then simply right click the folder --> properties --> permissions.xboxrulz

well, not only Slackware and Gentoo have dependency problems, but the RPM system is getting better each year. (or even month!) I don't get a dependecy hell as I did when I used SuSE 9.0.xboxrulz
