Ark Linux Review, A Distro with an Identity Crisis
mikemuch writes "ExtremeTech has a review of Ark Linux 2006.1, which launched earlier this month. Overall, the reviewer likes this free KDE-based distro, but had to question some implementation choices, such as using the less-compatible Konqueror over Firefox for its default web browser. And for a distro that bills itself as 'a Linux distribution for everyone — designed to be easy to install and learn for users without prior Linux' the installation should hide command-line scrolling and be able to more automatically install standard graphics card drivers."
You know, for the first time ever (and I have been a member for years) I've read the rantings of the Gay Nigger Association of America. This stuff is hilarious! Mod up "funny".
As for the US Army, hopefully they'll be killing a lot more Muslims in the near future.
Most linux fanboys shun ease of use and to a degree, reason.
In non-kde virgin full install of red hat, I used to show people how to crash the gnome gui by merely copying a directory into a grandchild destination of the selected items. That hilarious paradox crash was something no version of the macintosh has ever had an issue with since even the Apple Lisa days of 1982.
1982 mac vs 2001 Red Hat, easily recursively crashed by merely a user trying to copy a directory.
Try changing the screen resolution in the 2001 commercial full redhat install! sSomething the mac supported with ease since May 1986 in the Mac II video control panel with a simple user button to click, and in 1985 with 3rd party products. Ha! It required text editors and screwing around with The X Window System config files as recently as early 2001.
Linux is hostile. The mac is not. That is not a debatable point. It is a fact.
That is something linux zealots never realize and the reason that this innocent 0-level post will get shamefully modded to -1 instead of 0
modded to -1 instead of zero because saying anything factual about linux is called flaming by zealots.
linux zealots are bitter and angry that the desktop revolution for them never happened in 1998 or 1999.
RHAT and LNUX stocks collapsed to under 1% of theri value at certain points.
people vote wirth their wallets. people want INDICATE user interfaces, not REGURGITATE interfaces
its sad. Linux had potential. even the fight of gnome versus kde was shameful
and the driver hypocrisy for video drivers makes the linux philosophy compromised anyways
and redhat will no longer eat their own dogfood
its a fiasco and no one seems to care, and that is why zealots mod down informative posts, always instead of debating on merits.
"Be able to more automatically install standard graphics card drivers."
Of course not! It'd be a travesty to include the graphics drivers essential for the normal function of a PC with any Distro. If we do that, we're destroying the Linux philosophy on Open Source, instead of undermining the install base. Philosophy versus Users? Linux errs on the side of stupid.
