Ken0069 just would like yo add to you personally that I hope you do well with whatever os you choose. I personally wish you all the best but urge you to consider linux seriously if you are really...

Your claims are not very accurate. Linux has relatively easy samba sharing in my expierence. Furthermore Linux has a fine time reading ntfs filesystems. Notably the feature is turned off by default...

hi all. My opinion on this topic is that Frontpage is the absolute worst example of a WYSIWYG editor you could pick, L4U. Even MS agrees; it's been replaced with Expression Web. Dreamweaver is the...

Linux usage is increasing at approximately .4% a year. It is now at 2.3% and just at the end of last year was at 2%. This is not embedded, this is real linux growth. Furthermore, Linux growth has...

Linux usage is going up...
:confused:
Also, i agree we should figure out why users don't use linux, but that's not the main problem. I have to explain what an OS is to every user i go to. Most...

but linux usage is increasing... it doubled in a couple years, and just recently (last 3 months) went up .2% to 2.25 from 2.04.:confused: :)

The tools are strong if you are of the UNIX mindset. Vim is the best text editor around. The stacks for key technologies are hardly fragmented, the UI is standardized in Ubuntu as X/GTK+, the GTK+/QT...

in the past, linux has been iffy on my laptops. But i think that's resolved now, and my new EEE 901 proudly sports a fully-working linux install, except the webcam, which i haven't even seen if it...

I don't see the reason to stick with shared cable at this point.
It's obvious shared cable is on its way out due to the fact that it's just not enough bandwidth for the Mbps they're giving out....

You can add your own if you want, :guitar:
The reason i chose these is because of the requirement to explain in simple terms. All of these are relatively simple to use, and popular. Why would you...

I found an old post in a thread and it reminded me of a good exercise.
Try explaining in simple terms what the differences and similarities between the following distributions are:
* Mandriva
*...

I switched to ubuntu because i like the concept of a Free Software OS.
By free software, i mean, free to pass on, free to use, free to inspect, free to modify, free for someone else to do any of...

The GNOME expierence is actually superior to windows or Mac OS X, i made a thread about this on Ars Technica. They have a clear and relevant HIG, they have a simple design philosohphy, they have a...

I prefer Firefox with a heavy library of addons. It is my opinion that firefox is superiors. Here follows a comparison of browsers:
Firefox
+ Really good bookmarks
+ Really good history
+...

Look, Ubuntu needs developer documentation. Having the code is not good enough. It is critical for success, just like windows and dos, that canonical do a developer doc project. I'm sorry, but the #1...

But the thing is, most developers of linux stuff use a distro like Fedora or Debian and than port their app to every distro. That right there is a gaping logical flaw in your argument. Developers...

Opinion: You should use a different distro. Opinion: Ubuntu is not for you.
I mean, Ubuntu was born to be a distro with gnome, for average users, with a 6month cycle. You want a developer distro,...

I'm starting to think texstar is nuts. He just can't seem to make a schedule, he won't move off of kde 3, his distribution is still based off mandriva 2006 or something, and ive given up on both him...

it's not just install either it's maintenance and such. Fedora is a easier choice.

Wrong. Debian sid is well known for frequent slowness to be up-to-date with things like linux kernel, gnome, and it still doesn't have kde 4. Debian sid and thus sidux is out. Perhaps Fedora. Fedora...

Because of the HIG that makes GNOME much much easier to work with and more consistent,, like how the mac is easy and consistent. GNOME is simple and productive, kde is scattered.

I like Ubuntu's look a lot. B.

Opensuse has a wonderful backports, repo management philoshopy. The idea is that a small repo, similar to Ubuntu's "main", but larger is the base repo. After that come multiple sets of build service...

I generally disregard gaming as popularity is going down of computer gaming and people are switching to the PS3/360/Wii.
Nevertheless, WoW and starcraft work fine in Wine. So if you really want to...

Measuring threads to measure problems is as unscientific and stupid as measuring # of viruses to assume security of platform.

#1, not everyone mentions their problem. Windows users tend to take...
