Is Linux or Windows Easier To Install?
Mark Cappel writes: "Joe Barr, a LinuxWorld.com columnist, compares Linux and Windows installations. He expected Windows to be faster and easier since Microsoft has been at it for 21 years. (DOS 1.0 was released 21 years ago today.) It turns out Red Hat is quicker and less manually intensive."
I like FP yes I do I like FP So do you. FP!!!
Sorry people, but the BeOS is the MOST easy and fast to install. /swap, no /boot, no monitor frequencies and such crap. BeOS does everything automatically.
Installation takes about 6-7 minutes, and ALL you have to do is point the installer as to which partition you want to install it (yes, there is partition app included too, just in case you need to repartition) and setup the bootmanager if you want. That's all to it. No
Weeelllll -
my cunt is a'drippin',

all that comes out of an oracifce
you eat for a main course-ifice

Sitting proud inside your tummy!

What does that mean?
Your sig is so stupid. The argument is that since the eight-year-old doesn't have a problem saying "under god" that is must be ok? Well, guess what. The kid can't sue the school. She has no rights under our legal system. It is up to the parents to stand up for their kids, which is what her dad, in his own twisted way, is doing.
School kids don't mind learning about evolution in Biology class. Do you get all up in arms when the parents of those kids work to get Creationism taught in biology class? According to your sig's logic, the only one who should provide any oversight or take any interest in what is taught in our schools is the children who are there.
Moron.
my 2 cents:
Redhat is not linux.
Troll.
I use linux
I use vmware on linux.
Installing guest operating systems on vmware takes at least
twice as long as a regular install. windows or linux or bsd.
but it still sucks so who cares
What was with the airport comment? I didn't quite see how it fit in to the rant...
Why play MineSweeper though WINE? Well, aside from the fact that we can. If it's MineSweeper you want, there are several native versions that will be faster, look better, and most probably match your desktop theme(s). ^_~
::shrugs:: It works for me. And at least as far as my system goes, it's free (as in beer, and speech). It works for hundreds of thousands, if not millions others, too. Choice and competition is *good*. Homogeneous *anything* other than, perhaps, protocols (at least we agree, mostly, on IP) - even there there's a huge amount of wiggle room (file transfers over HTTP, FTP, raw streams, SSH/SCP, GOPHER, etc, etc, for example). The internet derives its power from the comonality of *one layer* of the protocol stack and the fact that everything else can be twiddled at will without damaging the network. Who cares if a node is Linux, BSD, Windows, whatever, as long as it behaves.
As for en masse adoption,
