The whole truth about Ubuntu is that there are millions of happy users and
dennis@home is too stupid to get it installed on his Sony laptop.

Re: Now you can safely buy Linux Stock

Your newsreaders inability or more likely your own inability to adjust
for others is your own limitation and no one elses.
If you do not like it, it is up to you and only you to adjust.
The world does not cater to your desires.

As demonstrated by your name calling and other attacks, you are simply
unable to deal with the issues.
Your regular attacks on others who disagree with you are reflective on
your own character and say nothing about others.

But it wont double every year. It wont double in 10 years. You cant even
give Linux away! Its a free OS and 0.6% of people are interested in it.

LOL! Windows Vista is expensive, not easy to use and a POS operating
system. Linux is free, easy to use and a great OS. Get used to it, loser.

Which translates into millions. I predict it will treble this coming
year thanks to the user friendliness of Linux and Vista causing so many
people to tear their hair out, motivating them to check out alterntives.

Usually not the best one for people with vista though.
They tend to want to run windows programs for some odd reason.

Ubuntu is a option for users with linux installed but why would they
downgrade?

Ubuntu is an option for XP users but only if they have no windows software
they need/want to run.

Ubuntu is an option for win98 users.. no I take it back they probably don't
have enough RAM.

But then there are better options than Ubuntu.. Macs for instance or almost
any other flavor of linux or even better a freebsd based distro if they have
the right hardware.

The whole truth about Ubuntu is that it has a cr@p installer.
It doesn't even bother to check if it can run on the machine when you start
it from the live CD so it hangs part way through the install on some
machines, just after it has wiped the partitions in my case.
Now that is due to lack of RAM as I only have 256M and it does actually say
somewhere that you need more.
However if it needs more why run the installer? Like I said cr@p.

As for the alternate install disk that doesn't require more than 256M it
also fails on my Vaio, it doesn't say why it just hangs.

So there we have it Ubuntu will run from the live CD but won't install, it
just hangs with no warning or messages.
Is that good or what?

As for being stupid.. what does it take to install this wonderful easy to
use OS?
I am not going to wade through pages of readmes just to install it.
It was bad enough having to find the command line bits to get it to work in
the M$ VM without having to do more to make it run on a bog standard
notebook.

BTW you should try it in a VM its quite quick without all the graphics junk
loaded.
I can probably find the command line chants again if you need them or you
could just google this vista group as it was a helpful vista user that told
me what they were.

You can predict all you want. Linux/Ubuntu will still be just a blip on the

False. It's been "up and coming" for the last 20 years now. Give it a
rest. You are just sore that Microsoft rules the marketplace.
Not that I think Microsoft ruling is a good thing, but Linux just doesn't
have what it takes. The product is FREE and nobody wants it.

Your arrogance and belligerence is second only to your ignorance and
stupidity.
The world runs on Windows because it's inexpensive, very easy to use and
is by far the very best OS in the entire world.
You're the one who has to get use to it, you lying loser POS.

The only program Windows has that Ubuntu has that I use is Outlook 03
and it appears, now the Novel has bought Evolution, that I won't need
Outlook either. That and Windows only games.

To which other "major and most popular applications" were you referring?

False. Windows runs on most computers because MS strong-armed the OEMs
and hardware manufacturers and most people don't know any better.

Oh, I am already used to it. I just made 60 euros cleaning up a POS XP
installation riddled with malware and viruses. The customer will be
moving up to Ubuntu.
