Ubuntu - Read the review - Ubuntu Sucks

[Frank]

Nothing is absolute and there are always exceptions but talking about a
desktop environment which is what was being discussed: Do I feel safe?
Yes. Linux by default puts you into a limited user account, that in itself
protects the OS. As well, by default, Linux doesn't leave a number of open
doors/ports. Why is it included? For those that may want Linux to act as a
server or gateway.

One down...quite a few more to go...

Good luck in your linux adventure...you'll proly need it at one point in
time.
BTW, this is a Vista (that's an MS OS, right?) ng.
Why are you here?

Well I'll just take one example for instance. When the clown
said..."No need for a software firewall".
Fine with me. But you just got to ask yourself one question punk...do
you feel safe...well do you punk?
Then ask yourself if in fact, as you believe, there is no need for a
firewall as he said, and you concurred...then why does it come with a
software firewall?
Hummm...good question huh?
Well..best to know what you're talking about before you commit to die
for it.
You'a think?

Thanks. I look forward to learning Linux.

BTW, this is a Vista (that's an MS OS, right?) ng.

Good question. I'm not really sure anymore. This group seems to be full of
completely unhelpful people. I first came to this group to get assistance
but my question was treated with such disdain it does make me wonder why I'm
still here.
Why are you here? Certainly not to aid anyone, or provide any valuable
insight.

I guess you've failed to correctly peruse the ng if that all you know of
my postings.
Who cares?
I certainly don't give a rats ass what you think.

the guy was saying and i agree you should not have to jump thu hoops to get
your OS to run it should just run out of the box.

and as i all so fart around with Ubuntu don't try and give me the crap that
you just point and click to install video drivers you have xserver running
which means you have to boot into a thermal.

sure you could use the drivers that they give you in there version of add
remove programs but they suck just as bad as the ones Ubuntu installs with
the OS.

and you just don't down load java and point and click the file and it
installs you have to all so jump thu hoops to install it flash is a little
easyer.

so your a Ubuntu fanboy fine but if someone says Ubuntu should work out of
the box and it does not which it does not you should know it's true and not
lie about it and call people lame

 

[Guest]

Linux fanboys love trolling and trying to make people think what they have is
better he's just a loser i wish he would just go back to his Linux forums and
stop trying to so how stupid he is here.

 

[Guest]

he is right you are stupid you are spreading FUD he is telling the truth you
are a troll. he is on his own website why not troll there and not here in
case you have not read this is a windows forum not a we want to be a Linux
fanboy site.

and from reading your post you don't seem to know much your self i would bet
you can't even install Ubuntu our you would know that the guy on that site
was giving you the facts.

and if you are saying hes not i say you are full of FUD. and just trying to
get people to think you know something you don't.

Why does vista come with an outbound firewall that by default needs to
first be configured before it is of any use. The iptables firewall is
included, if I read correctly, in all iterations of linux, and it too
has to be configured before it is of any use. If one wants to use
either, one must be prepared to configure first. So in reality, both
vista and linux include a firewall, but neither are internet ready in
all (in the case of vista) or any (in the case of ubuntu) in their
installed state.

Incorrect. The firewall (in the case of ubuntu) is configured to not let
anything in by default. All ports are closed.

So in reality, it comes in a very usable state by default.

If someone wants more advanced protection, then they need to configure
those options themselves. Not unreasonable in my mind.

Brainwashed MS boys can only jealously hurl insults and never, ever,
address content.

You say I am a loser but what I use is free and what you use costs a
kidney and a liver.

Another typical MS fanboy tactic: declare himself the "winner" of the
debate and, of course, hurl another unfounded insult.

and as i all so fart around with Ubuntu don't try and give me the crap that

Actually that is *exactly* how you install video drivers these days.

Point on the restricted driver manager.
Cick it.
Point on the "enable" button next to your listed video card.
Click it.
Click OK.
Reboot.
Done.

Tell you what I Didn't need to install though:

- Drivers for any and all of my other hardware, including any and all
attached peripherals.

sure you could use the drivers that they give you in there version of add
remove programs but they suck just as bad as the ones Ubuntu installs
with the OS.

The nVidia proprietary drivers suck? Might want to let nVidia know about
that.

and you just don't down load java and point and click the file and it
installs you have to all so jump thu hoops to install it flash is a little
easyer.

Actually, you do install both with a point and click.

But you see, unlike Microsoft, Canonical does not need 5 years to release
an update to their OS. They stick to a 6 month schedule with more new
features and changes every 6 months than MS can come up with in 5 years.

So Ubuntu has a habit of improving drastically every 6 months. =)

Which is exactly what happened when I installed Ubuntu.

and as i all so fart around with Ubuntu don't try and give me the crap that

which means you have to boot into a thermal.

My video works fine and I did not configuring at all. With Windows, I
had to first install the drivers that came with the CD and then update
them from ATI's web site.

sure you could use the drivers that they give you in there version of add
remove programs but they suck just as bad as the ones Ubuntu installs with
the OS.

False. The drivers for my video card work just fine in Ubuntu and I did
*nothing*.

and you just don't down load java and point and click the file and it
installs you have to all so jump thu hoops to install it flash is a little
easyer.

If you consider one click to install Java, another to install Flash
"hoops", you obviously haven't a clue.

so your a Ubuntu fanboy fine but if someone says Ubuntu should work out of
the box and it does not which it does not you should know it's true and not
lie about it and call people lame

It works out of the box and comes with everything you need. I can see
you haven't installed Ubuntu or, if you did, you didn't seek help
anywhere. If you open Fire Fox after installing Ubuntu, you will find
links to all kinds of support.

I am writing this post using Ubuntu. Oops.

and if you are saying hes not i say you are full of FUD. and just trying to
get people to think you know something you don't.

I stand by everything I said here. Care to respond to content or can you
only be a net nanny and hurl unfounded insults?

Gotcha. I made the mistake of interpreting "needing configuration" for
both the outgoing vista firewall and iptables as meaning the same in
terms of not providing any use at all until configured.

No, as I already mentioned I'm new to this group so there is no way I could
have seen all of your posts. But I have read a great deal of threads so far
and I have seen a *lot* of posts from you, *none* of which were helpful. So
statistically speaking, this leads me to believe that the rest of your posts
are equally as useful. Perhaps you do help the odd person but the odds are
stacked as you being as useful as a poopy flavored lollypop.
