You can't challenge someone's claims without providing proof of why they're wrong. At least, that's kind of what you're saying to me about my post.

Again, I didn't say that my bias was better than theirs.
http://www.osnews.com/comments/19769 Read through the comments, there's some interesting conversation over the benchmarks.
Right, just because one person posted benchmarks validates all the other blind claims as to what's better.
Where did I say I wasn't biased?
Well, maybe you should do that too, because...
Yeah, that sounds sort of stupid. But then again, blindly claiming that a 8 year old OS is and always will be slower than the latest Ubuntu is pretty stupid, too. Install Fedora Core 2 and compare...
Fedora.
Why: Bleeding edge, blue and generally works quite well for me. Plus, I started on Red Hat.
I just put a disclaimer in my Sig :)
Well, other than that I'm out of ideas. You might want to ask at the HA forums anyway, since the people there would likely know exactly what's up.
I doubt that I didn't install it correctly. Also, I don't hate Linux, I've been using it for 12+ years.
I gave an opinion. Most people who use Ubuntu with 512MB of ram would tend to agree, just ask. There's a reason why there's lightweight versions of Ubuntu and Linux. I wouldn't go as far to say that...

XP comes with a built in firewall these days. I never install AV or anything like that, so I don't have to worry about it dragging my XP install down.
If you re-read my post, you'll see I said "I can tell you that there's no way that modern, full feature Linux distro's", by that I meant a full installation of Ubuntu or Fedora. Not lightweight/do it...
Open Source Spirit!
Now, there's a lot of reasons for your average Desktop user to not want to use *BSD over Linux, but I never understood why people always mention that it doesn't have as...
I have 512MB of Ram and I can tell you that there's no way that modern, full feature Linux distro's are as fast as XP. Maybe 6 years ago, but not today. It might be more fair to compare Ubuntu's...
Virtual Memory has to be from somewhere. You might be able to control the amount of RAM that XP eats with a VM, but the CPU is debatable. Personally, I think most of the logic in this thread is...
Do I know you?
I don't claim to be constructive. I can probably point to a few people who do feel that our views are constructive and needed, read back into the thread and see.
It's an OS, not someones life.
My only question is: Why
Seriously, why would changing your preferred distro and going to all the trouble of it just to spite the company? Linux will never take off as a Desktop OS if you keep...
Are you allowed to smoke weed here?
In the US your $0.02 would work. There's a lot of other countries out there and a lot of them don't do censorship. The most popular news channel in my country had two instances of the word "F**K" in...
And sometimes swears are the best way of saying things. I've had it out with people on our forum who swear just for the fun of it. Swearing in context is a good thing.
OpenBSD - Yes
FreeBSD - Probably
NetBSD - Possibly
We understand that there's issues with some of our site rules. Most people refuse to join our site because they're scared of us, along with the problem you pointed out. It's a double edged sword, we...
Opening a section where swearing isn't allowed is under consideration. Though, this section will still allow the crustyness and douchbaggery that is present with the swearing in the rest of the...
