Nice distro... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001
Without a "here's what I like about it" it does look a lot like an advertisement. I still like my mepis CD. Interesting it is also Debian in core. Since I have latest generation hardware a lot of the people's linux stuff doesn't work, trying for the larger markets rather than the small and expensive. Mepis was the first and still only to recognize and use all of my hardware from graphics to printer, scanner, and PDA. But I still use Windows more often. Linux still misses a few things I need to do. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

No. You were missing the point. Here they hate Linux in all shapes and sizes. Look at the original post. Voted down just for mentioning Linux. There are a lot of people on this website who are so stupid and MS centric that it's almost not worth bothering to come here. X|

It's John Simmons - you are not probably enough here to know him, but he has a long list of "one-voters", and that has nothing to do with Linux. 2. The post is really incomplete: if at least he mentioned why he thinks that it's so great... I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

I think you are mistaking stupidity and MS Centricness for what is actually professionals that are making a living writing software and contributing to society in oh-so-many more ways than cranking out poorly written free software which "contributes" very little to a much smaller "society", however above all don't like poorly designed software.

Personally I prefer Kubuntu because I like KDE better than Gnome but I use a custom Debian distro day to day - but the whole Ubuntu thing is awesome if you look at what the guy is all about and what it allows him to do for schools in South Africa etc etc.

I voted you a 1 because I'm stupid and MS-Centric.:laugh:

... have to download it and check it out; been running Mandrake (oops, Mandriva) 10.0 for a good bit and enjoy their system manager tools and whatnot. I have an older PII machine that I've wanted to drop a disto on for some DB testing, I'll have to give ubuntu Linux a shot ...

Considering this site is dedicated to helping people out with Microsoft programming languages and environments, I can see why you think this site, and it's inhabitants, are MS centric. But "stupid"?!?! Nothing like insulting 2,000,000 people in one breathe. Drag your Linux-centric ass out the door if you don't like it here. If you hate MS that much, I bet you just went ape-s*** when they dropped that Windows machine in front of you at work. Hey, everyone has their preference for O/S's. I don't give a damn who thinks what is better. I happen to like Windows over Linux and you happen to be the opposite. SO WHAT?! If corporations want to drop Windows on 90% of their desktops, guess where I'm going to make my money! If they want to switch to Linux, who cares. I can support that too. Noone is going to remember you for your choice of O/S. Noone is going to carve "Linux 'til the end" on your grave stone. In the end, their just operating systems that we make money at supporting. The choice isn't a matter of intelligence, birth right, life or death. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

fakefur wrote: Here they hate Linux in all shapes and sizes No, you just want something to attack people over. This is a MS centric website and if you check you will find that many use Linux at other times as I am starting to. I would like the option to use Linux on the desktop but having tried that it became obvious that Windows was more suitable for my desktop purposes which is a shame because I would like to see more competition in the general desktop market.

Hey stupid. I work for myself. I don't use MS day by day. I do very nicely thank you. And yes I enjoy winding all you closed minded MS lovers up. Bite me. :laugh:
Stupid and "Closed minded" now? Since I just said that I can work in either environment without preference, or prejudice, how does that make me "closed minded"? You, on the other hand, take pride in bashing MS, or anyone who doesn't see the IT world your way. Which one of us is really "closed minded"? BTW: Notice I didn't call you "stupid". Hint, hint...
