I, much like you, grew up on RH and was mocked and ignored whenever I had issues. I also use FC7 now. But Ubuntu offers something to newcomers today that we didn't get 10 years ago: a community that doesn't suck.
Perhaps it is dumbing Linux down. My response: so what. People who find Ubuntu to be useful may be likely to try more advanced distros in the future. This is a foot in the door; the gateway drug so-to-speak.
Ubuntu isn't successful because it's an operating system for advanced users only (like Gentoo). It's successful due to being user friendly to people who are Windows users who are curious about Linux.
With Linux I've noticed that user control is inversely proportional to user-friendliness. Operating systems like Ubuntu are made with user-friendliness in mind and that comes at the price of user control. It's quick and easy to set-up and use which garners alot of favor from the Windows crowd.
Similarly, Gentoo gives the user complete control over what applications, drivers, daemons are installed but is by no means user-friendly.
The writer of TFA really did a whole lot of whining about how little control he had over the installation and initial software packages. What did he expect? It's Ubuntu.
There are some things banned as weapons by the Geneva Convention. Things like Phosphorus bombs, biological weapons, Brittney Spears' new album, hollow-tipped bullets all have been deemed cruel and inhumane weapons of warfare.
Not the same effect. This ray gun only messes with your skin the first time. Chris Crocker will mess with your head the first time. You start to wonder," is that a dude... chick... both?!" After a while Of watching his often pointless and mindless whinings, your brain starts to rot at the stem causing convulsions, seizures and often times... death. You see, if finely tuned, Chris Crocker can be a better killing machine than the MOAB.
And from a Republican perspective
If the Democrats win, we'll be living like 1984 on January 21, 2009. If the Republicans win, we'll all instantly forget that Hillary and Communism ever existed on that date. I know. Lame. But I'm just a Libertarian trying to keep the balance.
Yeah, maybe it does. But I'm not going to pay for x amount of licenses and have x installs of a bloated OS on hard drives that aren't necessary. PXE boot on diskless nodes is where it's at.
Here it is in 252 words thanks to Word's AutoSummarize feature.
The Red Book, also known as the OpenGL Programming Guide published by Addison-Wesley Professional, returns in its meanwhile sixth edition with additions covering OpenGL 2.1. It's in this book. It's in this book. It's in this book. Even though the coverage was expanded, the authoritative guide to shader programming in OpenGL still remains the Orange Book aka The OpenGL Shading Language
The Red Book is aimed at the beginning to intermediate graphics programmer that is not yet familiar with OpenGL. The book consists of 15 chapters and 9 appendices that together span approximately 860 pages.
The first chapter gives a brief introduction to the basic concepts of OpenGL and describes the rendering pipeline model used in the API. Chapter seven contains a description of display lists, a unique feature of OpenGL that allows to store OpenGL API calls for efficient multiple uses later on in a program. Chapter eight then moves on to discuss what an image is for OpenGL. Most notably this chapter now covers pixel buffer objects, a fairly recent addition to OpenGL, which the fifth edition of the book did not mention. The discussion of images in chapter eight bring us straight to chapter nine on texture mapping, one of the largest chapters in the book. The final chapter of the book is a discussion of the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL, for short). In the sixth edition this chapter has been updated to version 1.20 of GLSL as required by OpenGL 2.1. All in all, the Red Book remains the definitive guide to OpenGL.
As someone who still uses Beowulf clusters for different things, I can definitely see value in several nodes equipped with this processor. Every little bit helps.

You quoted everything but the last sentence. This is about the installation procedure.

If it turned them blue, I'm sure some suffocating person out there would be offended.
Dear Slashdot Commenter,
Please form your comments in the form of sentences. This will serve to not confuse the hell out of the people who read your response.
Sincerely,
All the confused people who read your post

Something we could all use for the classic "Who farted in the elevator" investigation!
You got me there! It's always good to have one, or in my case 20, backups.
How is that redundant? It was first post!
I think I just shit my pants from that much suck in one title.
Loss of bowel control, crying, vomiting, cardiac arrest, seizures... the list goes on and on. Had to support another Kendall.
Oh yeah that would to it. One listen to a belting of the word love (pronounced Ler-her-ahh by her) and I'm sent running.

Arrr sounds like the scurvy gov'ment dogs be usin Tesla's Death Ray in smaller form factor. Keep me parrot away from that thing! Arrr!!
Tubes? I like to think of it more as a web. A world wide web perhaps. Nahh

I didn't write it. I just copy/pasted it with no regard for spelling, grammar or sanity. Kinda like the editors here sometimes with their brain farts.

Could you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?
Games cannot be played without Linux! I AM ROOT!
TFA goes to show that the data (if such a thing exists) doesn't lie. The stoop heads spinning it do.
Dig the "Al Gore didn't invent it yet" line in YFA. Someone mod parent up.
So the Smileypig song would actually be written as follows:
:@) does...

or something like that?
