  1. Re:DOS on Getting Past "Ready For the Desktop" · · Score: 1

    Funny, I bought a note book for my daughter and Vista came with ZERO applications. I installed Ubuntu and it automatically installed a complete Office Suite, an image editor good enough to do what she wanted and lots of games. No, extra cash outlay, extra trips to the computer store, or hours of feeding CDs to the machine. So tell me again why I would want this Microsoft Vista? As far as I can tell it does nothing.

    I'm sure you would say that to some hot guy/chick that comes to your next party. "Hey your hot, but I said the party starts at 7pm, please leave".

    Endless qmail patching? Maybe 3 times in the past 7 years for me. Maybe you should jump on the postfix, never finished because we couldn't get it right and just had to have another feature to fix the spam problem, band-wagon.

    But doesn't everybody want to modify qmail and redistribute it in binary form? You'd think they would know how to fix conflicting patches easily enough.
