Linux Users Try FreeBSD 5, Windows
uninet writes "Most people know what GNU/Linux is, but fewer know about BSD and fewer still have actually used one of the major BSD variants (other than the highly customized Mac OS X). Ed Hurst, a writer and a long time GNU/Linux user, decided to give FreeBSD a try. Will Ed join the ranks of happy FreeBSD users? Find out at OfB.biz." And our own Roblimo, Windows-free for five years, has spent a week learning Windows XP.
No, I don't. I know what Linux is, it's a Free Operating System.
What is this GNU/Linux you speak of?
exactly. I posted an alternate viewpoint and was called a troll. I should have expected nothing less.
It was nothing but a pandering, self-serving, condescending, piece of garbage.
This supposed look at XP is more about rants with IE and OE and other apps, which is not part of the OS. If you don't like IE, go and use Mozilla or any other broswer, XP isn't stopping you from doing so.
His closing remarks expressing "sympathy" for Windows users is so smug and arrogant. What kind of person of who would switch to Linux would take that shit seriously?
And slashdotters complain about "M$", microserfs, or whatever cute names..where are the slashdotters to come out against this mindless zealotry?
SIG:Slashdot: indymedia for nerds.
Ugh.. I barely made it through Roblimo's "review".. its nothing more than a compilation of bitching and moaning, with a little reinforcement of his laziness as a user.
Its not hard to figure out how to disable windows messenger, or add icons to the taskbar. Do what you would expect any Linux user do, RTFM, or google it.
You know, only dead fish follow the currents...
Be like the twenty-second elephant with heated value in space-Bark!
I know! I hate fining system utilities in My Documents and my word documents under Windows\System. Fuck that shit!
I don't think that your problem is that you're an OC PC freak. I think you're fucking retarded.
