cant say what sucks because i havent bought anything i wasnt 100% sure about. always check the linux hardware database before buying
as soon as you get gentoo installed especially if you install X + gnome or kde and make a backup of the entire hd after you get it tweeked the way you want it. building X and kde is no fun at all. it takes forever.
is it just me or does gentoo not use objprelink when building kde?
While I agree with you on the whole need to know both platforms its not a perfect world
but i think comparing VC++ to sliced bread is a little strong i cant do anything with VC GCC for linux and borland for windows (back when i used windows) is what i like
but i can make a nice sandwich with the bread.
but then again i dont really like IDEs although kdevelop looks promising
im so pissed by that story i dont know where to start. this is my first post to./ ive been lurking about for a year. i usually get P.O'd be reading the stuff here on the rare occasion i get some usefull info. but i like slashdot. but this shit takes the cake. since when is linux hard to install? ive done about 30 installs no problems windows is another story take the last 10 or so i did the network programs like the ping tracert and a load of other stuff didnt install the first time and dont get me started on XP. i dont own a copy but my brother does nothing but problems. i havent used windows in a long time and have recently destroyed all my windows software i feel very liberated. ive been using Linux for about 5 years dual booting for a while the totally dumping it. and if you get confused by the different distros.... i cant comprehend how stupid you would have to be. and the kde vs gnome argument i have a feeling thats going to be like vi vs emacs competitions good. pick what feels good to you. kde 1x made me physically sick to use now its pretty good. im going to cut this short and close with that idiot statement about linux and the lack of development software anyone in software development that really belives that has to have been living under a rock for the past several years. when i first discovered linux i creamed my jeans when i saw what all it has in the way of dev tools... aw fuck it i need a beer

I heard about that guy. the next day he used vi and was straight again.
great thats all we need
a compiler with a oedipus complex.
