  1. What world are you from? on The Linux Desktop Obituary · · Score: 1

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm replying to this msg. from RH Linux 7.1 with the KDE2 desktop. I just installed it this evening and from begining to end it took less than 45 minutes to send my first e-mail.

    The problem with Linux is not the OS itself it's in the apps, or lack of, that that have been ported to it. Linux, as far as OS's go, is an extreemly stable and snappy operating system.
    I submit that when effective converters are written for office documents more people will see what I and many others see.

    Namely: "What protection error???" & "What blue screen of death???"

    PS. Who here thinks, as I do, that it's time for revolution when just to install an OS you have to register with big Bill?
    "Annie. Get your gun."

    ""It can damage smart persons to do stupid things!""

    If you look at the other side of that coin Zuul, you'll see that it reads:

    "It can help stupid people to do smart things."
    It looks to me as if that's the side you need to be looking at as you already excell at the stupid part.

    btw:
