Linux sux???
-
Let me ask you a straight question to all the Linux.com users. Is linux good enuff? First i hear that it is free software. We kno that enything free sucks. My office has free coffee which sucks. So Linux does suck. The software / installation / maintainance all sucks. But windows xp / vista is very stable and secure. They have frequent releases of service packs and vital security updates. All because u pay for it. So i advice all Linux users to stop believing in free and buy Windows / MAC OS X. Let me know ur views on it

Maybe you should try switching jobs and try out other free coffee.

I'm not a Linux.com user, but I've used Linux. It's rock solid, far more stable than anything with a Window, and very easy to use if you like a UNIX environment. I don't, so I stick with Windows, but I can't fault those who use Linux. It's a good system, and appears to be constantly improving. I can't say the same for Windows, as each new release remains a whole new nightmare. Linux has the same problem Apple has always run into (of their own making, in Apple's case). You can't go to the local office supply store and buy an application for Linux. If you need an app you can surf for a download or write your own, and most people don't have the skill or patience to do so. Similarly, if you're a developer, if you want to make serious income you develop for the platform that holds the greatest market share. And if you're a common office user who needs to be able to interact with other people in similar offices, you have to use the tools that are most commonly found in business. That means Windows, unfortunately. Price does not relate to quality. If it did, Windows wouldn't have updates every three days waiting to be installed; it would be finished when it shipped. Price does relate to marketing, however, and no one does that better than Microsoft.

I just spent two days cleaning a virus off my dev computer and getting it working again despite having the latest updates and spyware and antivirus software installed - guess what I figured it was probably an activex through IE. I had to reinstall the OS from the restore partition.

I thought all was fine until I discovered that Windows XP disables automatic updates on restored operating systems - it took me six hours googling trying various fixes then finding the correct one clickety and applying it to apply the 96 updates wating to be installed - In that six hours my computer was vulnerable every time I accessed an internet site.

I think the vulnerability of unprotected computers is often overestimated.. When you access serious websites only, there shouldn't be too much danger for your computer.

Put this way Vista sucks and KDE 4.0 sucks. The differences are 1, You can still use KDE 3.x as it's included on the same disc. You don't have to pay more money to use older more stable software. 2, KDE 4 will get better with later iterations of the product 4.1 is already out and 4.2 is not far away. Vista will not be improved. The changes that Vists requires to be a functional operating system instead of the sack of crap that it currently is will be implemented in Windows 7 and you being stupid will pay for this as if it is a full release of a brand new product. Sucker.

You're either an idiot or a troll. Actually, looking at your previous posts, I'd say you're both.

You have got to be kidding. A couple of years ago I was re-installing XP on a machine in our lab, and forgot to disconnect the network cable. Before the setup was finished the machine was infected. The company had a well-known worm running around inside our firewall that the IT guys had a tough time getting rid of. I ended up restarting the install from scratch, this time with the network cable unplugged. I didn't put the machine back on the network until I had SP2 and our antivirus stuff installed from known-good media.

You are wrong, but don't ask for it, it is free so you can try it for yourself. Presuming that in the way you are doing it demonstrates that you have only a partial view of what you talk about... Linux has it's good things, our main server is running RHEL5 and it works like charm using low resources and working perfectly without errors, and it has several good things like the possibility to configure everything using text files... this means that I can format the computer and reinstall it from scratch and only replacing those files I'll have everything running again...

Fold With Us![^]I have seen this happen on a network as well, the worm kept jumping from one computer to another - unfortunately what infected my PC was also a worm and I am crossing my fingers that it has been eliminated - I use Avast, Spybot and Spywareblaster which are pretty darn good at sniffing out malware.

I accept that XP is stable and secure. But is really Vista too proves like that for you?

Cancer does a lot of nasty things with your life, as Linux does them too, you don't pay to get cancer, as you don't pay to get Linux, so cancer is free in the same sense as Linux is. :sigh:
