  3. Linux is dead on the desktop ... by Abnormal+Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    .. for who ??

    I am quite happy with linux as a desktop OS, I use it on my laptop at home, has Debian 3.0, gnome 1.4 moz, xchat ... and I find it fine. I use it for doing a bit of C/C++ and Java programming and my main pc for playing games (win2k).

    I assume that someone thats never used a computer before might be a bit baffled by my setup (theres no text on the panel, just some very small icons to save as much desktop space as posible).

    For me linux isn't dead on the desktop, but then I am not a normal clueless user :).

    that's who. Can you imagine your average user recompiling the kernel or some such? ha. However, I believe that it is starting to get *closer* in terms of setup, etc. I liken it to the differences between a mac and a pc. Both work, they just require different approaches to solving problems. In terms of "life" though, it's a mummy.

  5. lycoris Linux = very bad mojo... by Lumpy · · Score: 1, Troll

    can anyone explain what the hell are they selling?

    they have user licenses for sale.. for what? linux requires NO per seat licensing.. so what are they trying to pull? what is their closed/un-free add-in that brings lycoris linux into the pit?

    this one thing will make sure that I reccomend against it. as it looks like nothing but REDhat 7.3 with a KDE theme added to it to make it more XPish.

    Linux has a ZERO per seat license cost.. what the hell are they trying to charge $19.95 for?
