Re: How it came to be....

Call it what you want. I had a problem, it wasn't solved, I couldn't find
out where or how to solve it without 10 times the effort of a Microsoft OS
problem.

Ubuntu isn't ready for the masses. Maybe someday it will be but currently
it isn't. That is why it is in the minority. Even a free product that is
too hard for most people will be passed by. If it's not intuitive or help
is easy to find then it will not work in the long run. Period.

Had you downloaded Automatix2, you would have had no media problems.
Period. How to download? The same way as with Windows. You go to
Automatix' web site, download the set up and then double click on the
set-up. Too complicated? It wasn't for a 74 year old lady that has been
happily using Ubuntu for over six months now.

I installed Ubuntu and shortly thereafter global warming was stopped in

Uhhh...actually Alias, ATI provides drivers...my notebook sitting on my

Both ATI and nVidia drivers run perfectly fine. I have em running side by
side at this moment (Notebook ATI, Desktop nVidia, vendor drivers in each
case).

Dunno, I installed it on a co-worker's machine recently who is very happy
with it. Granted, he could have never installed it or set it up. I did it
for him. Then again, he also thought that having 60 (no, I am not joking
or exaggerating) concurrently running malware and spyware processes under
windows was normal and didn't think anything of it. Reinstalling windows
would have just been as impossible for him.

So now he's got a nicely configured ubuntu system that does everything he
needs it to do and his fairly safeguarded against his clicking on anything
that pops up and hoping it goes away if he does. =)

Giving him Windows again would have been a bad idea as it would take him
less than a week to go catch the first malware.

And trust me, not even UAC could protect him from himself (not to mention
that Vista wouldn't run on a machine with his specs).

Out of curiosity, what *was* your problem actually? I really am interested
in knowing. Mind sharing?

Well... if you're using "denigration" to imply that I'm attacking your
reputation... NOT! Everyone here knows you... your reputation precedes you
on every single one of your posts.

As to denying the importance or validity of your posts... well, heh, heh,
heh... GUILTY!

But, c'mon... "tee hee"? Naw, dude, that's just wrong.
