I will end the fight between LINUX and WINDOWS forever!

[On the Bridge!]

Having been in this newsgroup since its birth, there is constant fighting
between linux and windows users. But I thought its time for me to put a
final end to all this, single-handedly! Can I do it? Can I tranform
Frank and Alias into best buddies? Lets see what I can do if a smack this
info in your brains!

Why fight when you can have BOTH running SEAMLESSLY on the same desktop???
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE you may ask?????
Well it is using various techniques... YES this is a geeks dream, to have
ultimate flexibility and use
whatever OS he wants at the SAME time!

1st method: Get ANDLINUX http://andlinux.org/ read that site to get a drift
of what this is and see
a screencap that is worth 1000 words:
http://andlinux.sourceforge.net/screenshots/screenshot.png
Linux and windows apps running side by side!

2nd method: Install KDE 4.0 for WINDOWS.. YES believe it or not, the NEW KDE
4.0 runs NATIVELY on windows... all you have to do is install the KDE apps
and that's it!
See Links:

General Info http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/installer/
Download KDE 4 for windows: http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/installer/
(warning beta still)

3rth Method: VirtualBox Seamless mode!
Yes virtual box is an open source virtual machine with something extra! When
installed on a Linux platform
you can run a windows virtual machine SEAMLESSLY (with 2 taskbars one for
linux and one for windows WOW!) on the linux desktop and have all apps on
the same desktop!
Of course this means you will have Linux as your base OS and install Windows
inside the virtual machine.

I hope I have been able to intrigue you all a bit... and let me say
something more here.
Its not about what OS is best. If you really like computers you should like
all kinds of operating systems and computers
as long as they are good. I personally use everything I can get my hands on,
and that gives me universal understanding
about the nature of computers. So basically there is no real debate. Its all
up to YOU. What can YOU do better given
all the technology available? That's the question you must ask yourself....
and use everything that is in your disposal.

50 Ways to leave your Vista....

You just format the drive , Clive
Get a New Mac , Jack
Y'don't need that crap toy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Boot from a *nix, Jix
You don't need to discuss much
Install XP, Lee
And get yourself free

I think you just like posting. What a stupid topic. You will never end the
fighting between Linux and Windows users. I think you just like generating
banter between everyone and enjoy the name calling. You egg people on with
almost each and every post.

Wow running Linux under Windows. Who would have thought of that? I know
you can do that but I have no reason to run Ubuntu. Ubuntu is just a toy
for geeks.

Nothing intriguing here. Just more ammo for the fighting. If we wait
another 10 minutes, you will post more garbage to fuel the fights.

 

[On the Bridge!]

You will never end the fighting between Linux and Windows users.

Why we are awfully optimistic today aren't we? lol

If we wait another 10 minutes, you will post more garbage to fuel the
fights.

Something tells me that it will be a long wait....

OK so you know the future. You can wait 11 minutes!

The "fight" is in your mind and wouldn't be a fight in the first place if
you would just go away.
Go away. Period.
There...I just fixed the problem in the easiest way possible.

Windows does everything I need and Windows apps do more than I need. There is
no reason to open myself to vulnerabilities on an alternate, developing
platform where I am on my own in regard to securing the desktop. Vista takes
good care of me. I used to like to turn all the knobs, but now I'm more of a
"one button" sort of guy.

 

[AlexB]

You are really a guy who seems to have nothing to do. People who need to do
their work do not have time playing with two OS. It is quite impractical and
stupid.

I cannot vouch for Linux but from my experience of trying to work with Vista
and XP I found out in a matter of days that one of them must give and that
was XP. End of story. XP is sitting on 2 of my partitions in a dormant state
and I may erase them one day if need arises.
