...is over, at least on my VISTA machine.

I put it on its own hard drive and messed around with it for a week or
so.

Colossal pain in the ass.

Worked okay, but not very user friendly.

Bye, bye...ubuntu.

My experience with Ubuntu is the same, it's like using a toy after
running AIX, Unix, etc... If you want one with full features, use a stand-
alone drive for your testing, don't dual boot, download the Multiple ISO
images for Fedora Core 6 and you'll find about everything you need if you
are a SOHO or business user. It's still not where XP is yet, but it's
leaps and bounds ahead of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is for people that can't make
other Linux versions run.

You are nothing but a linux loser troll. You come to this MS ng looking
to cause a controversy by insulting MS and everyone who chooses to use
their products. Whereas you have no MS ware at all (by your own
admission) and, as evidenced by your juvenile postings, really and truly
hate all things MS.
You won't convert one person to linux by using the demeanor you've shown
in this ng.
You come off as an incredibly despicable humane being not worthy of
believing for one second.
Why you are here is fully answered by your hate filled postings of
others who chose to use MS products.
You obviously have no marketing acumen or skills at all. In fact, I
doubt you could convert one person to liux based on your postings in
this ng.
You’re good example of a bad example. Other than that, you come off as
totally worthless.

Um, Doris is one of the ones who helped me learn Ubuntu.

Oops.

With Vista, there's not much to talk about. It's the past. With Ubuntu,
there are exciting things to talk about. It's the future.

MANY ripped off Vista users are looking for an alternative and we are
being kind enough to offer one. You should thank us.

What can XP or Vista do that Ubuntu can't do?

Run Adobe, Corel, Ulead, Quark, Nuance, etc., software applications.
And of course MS software.
Urbuttoo can't run any of the above unless you use wine. But if you have
to do that then who cares.

May I remind you that insulting others only makes you look foolish but I
am sure you will continue to do it because that's just your nature. You
must be lonely.

Then it can do it. So, you're saying Ubuntu can do everything Windows
can do but get viruses, malware and have to jump through MS' ineffective
anti piracy hoops. Now you're starting to make some sense.

Run Visual Studio 2005, Run SQL 2000/2005, Run many games, use my Verizon
Broad Band card, provide Dual Monitor and Quad Monitor support with my
video card.... I could go on, but there is no point. Don't tell me about
Windows emulators until you try them, and I have, so don't try and BS.

While Ubuntu is good for people that only need email/browsing and limited
printing support, that's where it ends. Fedora Core 5/6 is what a typical
computer user that needs more than Simple emial and web browing, but, it
has some of the same limitations, but a lot less of them. FC is the best
Distro I've used for all around home/business functions.

People like you deserve to run linux. You're beyond stupid if that's
even possible. You're a part of their problem and not anyones solution.'

The only time we would thank you is if you left and never came back.

Ubuntu is (besides being a sub-Saharan African word) a Linux
distribution. You probably like it because you get it for free. It
wouldn't surprise me to find pirated music and videos on the computer of
such a person.

Compared to Vista, all Linux desktops, be they KDE, Gnome, etc., are far
less functional.

Strip away the desktop and you have a pretty stable OS that is great for
servers. Since it is pretty much a UNIX wannabe, that is not surprising.

Now if you want to play with applications that were cobbled together by
some geek in his garage, that's fine. But why don't you tell folks
about Linux dependecies hell when you upgrade one program and find a
component used by three other programs has been changed so now they
don't work.

Yes, Linux is stable. It rarely crashes on its own, but why don't you
tell people about what happens when some piece of crapware goes berserk
and forces you to use the reset button.

True, there aren't many Linux viruses in the wild, but why don't you
tell people just how many root kits there are?

Better yet, whay don't you just leave?

I'm surprised any purist like you would bother running open source software.
Two-faced? Why aren't you running Outlook Express or is it Mail now? Your
email program was probably cobbled together in someone's garage. BTW, why
the fsck are you signing on UseNet?

Love and Kisses,
Doris

I have no problem with open source software when it comes to encryption
software. I trusted the original PGP before it was acquired by NAI and
then its current owner. When they tried to turn it into a subscription
service, I realized they could not be relied upon.

With OpenPGP, the source can be examined to determine there are no flaws
or back doors.I would be using Windows Mail, but to get OpenPGP support,
I would have to use gpgrelay, which is another level complexity which
has security implications. It also had fewer filtering options that I
like to use to control spam. That said, the 64 bit version is lightning
fast and I wish I could have used it.

You refer to me as a purist, but you misunderstand. I use what works
best to me and have no problem if someone wants to use something else.
What I do object to is people cluttering up newsgroups with stuff that
has nothing to do with the purpose of the newsgroup. When I find
someone on a Windows NG hyping another OS, I will twist their tails as
hard as I possible can. I don't go to Linux NGs to taunt those who are
there.

Why I sign NG messages is my eccentricity. And, BTW, this is a Windows
group. People are unlikely to know what fsck means. ;-)
