How is this modded as insightful? I have less trouble with my hardware using Linux, the UIs are superior to Windows in nearly every possible way. In the menus Gedit and Kedit and such often just show as "Text Editor"
Yes, I do. They're very annoying and should take it to somebody that cares. They than want me to surrendor my way of thinking to their's and that's not gonna happen
Ok, good. More about family and friends than shooting? Excellent! They can go into the woods with family and friend's without lethal weapons. Other./'ers mentioned that hunting is dangerous even with two full sighted people. Or maybe you should just go ask the Dick that shot his friend in the face:p
1) You answered this yourself. Partition Magic. But yes, Google will help you learn to dual boot by searching. Or when you find the distro you're interested in, you can probably just find the answer on their forums (most distros do have those) or if not ask and not make things difficult for yourself.:)
2) I'm not sure if there's a reiser driver XP or not, but on the other hand there are tools that do allow read/write access to ntfs in linux. But you have to be bothered to Google. For me the approach of just making XP and Vista read the *nix partitions was easier, but maybe this approach would work better for you. Google knows all.
The solution is simple. Get the EXT3 driver for Windows and make Windows use the Linux partitions and not the other way around. If you can use Google, you can do this.
From the article:
"Stop assuming that everyone using Linux (or who wants to use Linux) is a Linux expert" Most distros do not, and neither do the application developers. I wonder if the writer of that article has even seen the modern distros such as Ubuntu? Somehow I doubt it. If anything, in Linux it's going too far in the other direction. Not to start a KDE vs Gnome argument, but certain desktop enviroments seem to go even further than Windows in assuming that the user is an idiot.
A word on hardware support. "Out the box" hardware support seems to have been better on gnu/linx than on Windows for a long time now. My printer/scanner/photocopier, for example was detected right away in *nix without having to install any additional drivers. Not the case in XP and certainly not in Vista. This is a fairly new model, the Lexmark P4350.
I use KDE 3.5.4 in a laptop with a 366 PII and 256 megs ram without problems. I did have it working in only 128 megs on the same ancient machine, it was just a bit on the slow side.
Additionally, while this is not a popular idea around here, isn't it the companies right to decide that they only want their disks to play on windows systems? If I pay money to buy a disc, in my mind it's not the company's disck anymore. It's mine do with as I please.
I have to agree. The page performs equally well using Mozilla 1.2.1, Phoenix.5 as well that that horrible MSIE 6 on my machine. There are no javascript or display problems at all using any of the browsers.
I wish people would get over the myth that Moz is slow and clunky, on my machine MSIE is the slowest in loading Microsoft.com by several seconds.
My ISP is SBC Yahoo (formally Prodigy Internet)and I'm lucky if I can get 28.8 out of my 56k modem. Maybe I can have the FBI raid my ISP for providing too little bandwidth;>

Those numbers for Opera and and Linux, even for the US seem awefully low. I wonder where he got those stats from in the first place.

Yup I hope they enjoy their 30 pieces of silver. The last person I remember getting 30 pieces of silver died shortly afterward....

Uh, the every gnu/linux distro I've encountered is already licensed....

I take it you haven't used Opera. Fast and compliant.
I haven't seen a pop-up at home in about 2 years, using Opera and Firebird/Mozilla. I've seen some at work using IE (at my employers own website lol)
