Dell's Subnotebook To Ship With Ubuntu
k33l0r writes "Dell's entry into the sub-notebook market, the Inspiron 910, will ship with Ubuntu preinstalled. This was confirmed this morning when Gizmodo published (leaked) specifications for the Inspiron 910." I hope that's not the final form of the keyboard, though -- lots of wasted space on each side.
Bullshit. steeviant asked you a series of fairly polite questions (hey, it's all relative, this is Slashdot) pertaining to your post.
Oh, you mean relative like....
You a little deliberately short on specifics
Not everyone in the world has the weak consumer laws that you're obviously subject to...
Yes, because Microsoft is just bending over backwards to support it's customers when they have problems. It's not like anyone has to google through forums to find solutions for windows problems because Microsoft's support is SOOOO outstanding.
Seriously, what does Microsoft offer in the way of support to a single home user that isn't available for a cheaper price for Ubuntu or another commercially supported distribution? This supposed support sounds like a fallacy to me, pretty much like the rest of this post. It's fine that you like Windows, but there's no need to make up FUD about Linux to justify your standpoint.
Windows seems like a perfectly fine solution for a certain class of user, and to them I say "To each their own, and mind your fucking bullshit when you talk about mine"
Is your version of relative is "If you can't say something good about Linux don't say anything at all?" Obviously the mods think so. I never said that Windows community support was better. If you think I did I ask you to quote me. I think people who read that read too much into what I was saying. I made no arguement either way but apparently steeviant likes to make it seem as if I did.
Would you like to take another turn at any of those?
Actually, I did go into more detail with a user who was decent enough to come off with a question instead of an attack at me for being a Windows user. Would it have been so hard for him to simply say "Can you tell me what exactly do you mean?" instead of being uppity about it? I think I posed a legitimate question. He nearly gave an answer but not quiet. What he did do is let me know that as a non-100% Linux user that I needed to shut up until everything worked right with Windows ("To each their own, and mind your fucking bullshit when you talk about mine").
Great way to come into the community. I feel real welcome.
