Yeah, linux can be very frustrating. It has made long strides in the last few years. Thinking back on ubuntu hoary, those where the dayWe got a Ubuntu machine over here, and i hate it, lol. I'm a complete linux noob, I hate having to enable and install crap through the terminal. I don't know the commands, man! Shoot me.
M$ has made me one lazy ass, half educated, dependent geek... [/cries]
lol, so i seewell hardcore mac users
yeah, i remember when i first started out i was like capital ZEROYeah, linux can be very frustrating. It has made long strides in the last few years. Thinking back on ubuntu hoary, those where the day
O btw, you can use synaptics package manager to install programs instead of the terminal.
Well if they dropped XP they'd look even more like an arrogant monopolized standard, damaging their image too much, possibly. Most people still use XP, and dropping all support would result in a bevy of unpatched security holes and that sort of thing. I think they should drop Vista, personally.
I didn't think it really matters at this point, I think Microsoft has done all they can do for XP. Its probably as perfect as it can be. You do bring up a good point though.
People lets not fight, to each their own. The only thing I don't like about Apple are their commercials. I mean its so childish to attack your competitor, Apple can make a commercial that shows the advantage of Mac's without bashing the competition.
Yeah dude, i 100% agree. I hate it when people try to promote themselves by putting down others; at schools, in businesses, everywhere.

Well, the good thing is that a lot of Linux distros (Ubuntu excels in this if you wish it to) is becoming more GUI-centered to tempt MS users who think there is a stigma associated with Open Source, and it's inherent 'not as good' and 'difficult-ness'. As mentioned before, you can use Synaptic to install packages, and with 7.04 and up, the Add/Remove feature. Takes a bit more time unless you know specifically the program you want to install and then Search for it, but it takes away all the 'WTF' moments for folks unfamiliar with Terminal commands. Incredibly user-friendly vs. 2 years ago. Times are changing, and Open Source, though still keeping it's core values and integrity, are adapting.
On the other hand (to my above posting), I agree! So much has changed since even Dapper with regards to installation and customizing. Hell, I use the Terminal for as much as I can just to 'stay in shape'!
Even from edgy to feisty was a big leap(was feisty the first one with restricted drivers manager?). A lot of users where getting discouraged by installing something as simple as a video card driver, now it can be installed with 3 clicks of a mouse.
LOL every word I agree with.erm...lol
well, that part i bolded explains exactly WHY it ran slower for them.
whenever anybody has problems with something i know about, i first look at there specs.
something i have noticed among vista users/triers is that:
nearly all of the people who complain about it being slow or have other trouble have less then 2gb of ram.
nearly all of the people who have no trouble with it have more then 2gb of ram.
so...its pretty obvious to me that ram is the main issue with people not being able to run vista nicely.
vista uses more ram then xp. so of course it will run noticeably slower then xp on a computer with only 1 gb of ram. thats why its easily possible to upgrade computers. besides that, EVERY OS ran slower then the previous one when put on hardware made for the previous one.
ie, vista runs slower then xp on the hardware that was made for xp
xp ran slower then 98 on hardware that was made for 98
98 ran slower then 95 on hardware that was made for 95
95 ran slower on hardware that was made for 3.1
each os released needs more ram and hard drive space then the previous OS and thus ran slower on hardware that was fine for the previous os.
I hate those commercials also. They are insulting at best. I want to ring that smug mac a-hole's neck every time I see him LOL!People lets not fight, to each their own.
