Adding:

--Multi-language... we can have 100 diferent users in the same system, each
one with using a diferent language... with windows they're stick to just
one except if they bye a special windows MUI and even with that, they are
stick to less then 20 languages.

--Easyer to use after everything configured, and only needs to configure
once.

--Doesn't lie to the user and never treat the user like a dog... while
windows says that a unix floppy is not formated, a lie, it is formated and
have information in there, stupid windows just can not read it. Windows
crash by inself and after that it ass-rapes the user saying that he didn't
shutdown the pc as he should.

--No frangmentation of disks.

--Kids can use it, kids with 2-3 years old... while in windows... kaput,
reinstall or pray that the system restore work once more. I know this by
years of experience... in my windows days, i was allways afraid to let kids
of this age play with the computer... now, with linux, no problem...
and they have lots and lots of games to play.

--Permission system really works, while in windows is a joke... how come
that parental control doesn't work when using firefox? who does the control
anyway? vista or the browser ? so vista's parental control only works if
the browser is compatible... the same way that permissions only block virus
if those virus are made to be compatible with the system.

--Doesn't have to have the same look&fell

--Brings free programs to do everything that a computer can do, we only
install extra progs if we want to.

--Pushes the user to learn about computers, while windows push then to be
ignorant.

--When it does not support (by is own) some hardware it allways inform the
user about what hardware it is, while windows usualy says it is a "vga
graphics adapter" when it is a "SIS chip", or "microsoft sound system" when
in fact it is a "yamaha opl chip". When configuring harware, it makes a lot
of diference.


and so on and on... i've been using linux for 4 years now, before that i
used windows, and still do at work... i know both systems a i could be
writing things like this for a week.

Well I'll just take one example for instance. When the clown said..."No
need for a software firewall".
Fine with me. But you just got to ask yourself one question punk...do
you feel safe...well do you punk?
Then ask yourself if in fact, as you believe, there is no need for a
firewall as he said, and you concurred...then why does it come with a
software firewall?
Hummm...good question huh?
Well..best to know what you're talking about before you commit to die
for it.
You'a think?

linux firewall is inserted in the kernel (the core of the OS), there is no
need to install a program to do the firewalling...
this way is safer, a standalone software firewall may crash and stop working
leaving the system unsafe, while if the core crash, everything stops
working, no machine responding to attacks anymore.

those programs you might have saw like firestarter, guarddog, etc... are not
the firewall, they are just script generators to set firewall preferencies,
those programs are opened to set something in the firewall and then closed
after setting... they are not the firewall, and they do not need to be
running full time like the firewalls for windows.

Why does vista come with an outbound firewall that by default needs to
first be configured before it is of any use. The iptables firewall is
included, if I read correctly, in all iterations of linux, and it too
has to be configured before it is of any use. If one wants to use
either, one must be prepared to configure first. So in reality, both
vista and linux include a firewall, but neither are internet ready in
all (in the case of vista) or any (in the case of ubuntu) in their
installed state.

Nothing is absolute and there are always exceptions but talking about a
desktop environment which is what was being discussed: Do I feel safe?
Yes. Linux by default puts you into a limited user account, that in itself
protects the OS. As well, by default, Linux doesn't leave a number of open
doors/ports. Why is it included? For those that may want Linux to act as a
server or gateway.

One down...quite a few more to go...

Good question. I'm not really sure anymore. This group seems to be full of
completely unhelpful people. I first came to this group to get assistance
but my question was treated with such disdain it does make me wonder why I'm
still here.
Why are you here? Certainly not to aid anyone, or provide any valuable
insight.

Drunk again huh!
Figures.
Frank

the guy was saying and i agree you should not have to jump thu hoops to get
your OS to run it should just run out of the box.

and as i all so fart around with Ubuntu don't try and give me the crap that
you just point and click to install video drivers you have xserver running
which means you have to boot into a thermal.

sure you could use the drivers that they give you in there version of add
remove programs but they suck just as bad as the ones Ubuntu installs with
the OS.

and you just don't down load java and point and click the file and it
installs you have to all so jump thu hoops to install it flash is a little
easyer.

so your a Ubuntu fanboy fine but if someone says Ubuntu should work out of
the box and it does not which it does not you should know it's true and not
lie about it and call people lame

he is right you are stupid you are spreading FUD he is telling the truth you
are a troll. he is on his own website why not troll there and not here in
case you have not read this is a windows forum not a we want to be a Linux
fanboy site.

and from reading your post you don't seem to know much your self i would bet
you can't even install Ubuntu our you would know that the guy on that site
was giving you the facts.

and if you are saying hes not i say you are full of FUD. and just trying to
get people to think you know something you don't.
