O.K., I'll go along with you - you don't know anything about

computers.

Then why are you insistently making pronouncements about Windows and

Linux? Do you really feel that someone that has confessed to being

ignorant about the subject can have anything of value to contribute?

Or are you so arrogant that you feel that any pronouncement you make

is valid simply because you said it? Infallible, like the Pope?

No, not as knowledgeable as I am. Since I know that the Windows kernel

is not called the Registry and I know that neither Fedora nor Ubuntu

are based on gnome I am much more knowledgeable then you. The question

was how dumb you actually are.

And since 75% of your response had nothing to do with the subject

under discussion.....

The fsck that Linux does isn't a disk defrag it is simply checking the

file structure and if necessary repairing it.

No, I don't diss you for helping people I diss you for talking about

subjects that you don't know anything about. "Waving your hands in the

air and shouting", "the sky is falling!"

So you are moving up to the intelligence level and discussion

content of Frank ?

Good move.

Next your be channeling Stan Starinski. At least *that* would be

a step up.

Why don't you stick with being the Ubuntu Marketing Department, take 10,000

Ubuntu CDs to Nigeria and try to convince people to get on board with

Ubuntu. Just think, if you pass out all 10,000 CDs, you may get another 7

users!

You don't get it and you never will. You get your ass kicked on a daily

basis and keep coming back for more. Why not go to the Ubuntu forum and

help out those sorry sacks who believe they have a decent OS when in reality

they have shit.

Haven't you made a big enough fool out of yourself in here already? Do

you enjoy getting your ass kicked all the time? Are you really that

stupid and arrogant?

Clue...those are rhetorical questions. Rhetorical means everyone (except

you) already knows the answers.
