Actually, there are now more linux distros than there are actual linux
users!

No more than there is any accurate way to know how many users are
actually happy with Vista.

Here's a radical thought, if somebody is happy with Ubuntu, great. If
somebody else is happy with Vista that's great too.

The purpose of this newsgroup is to help people having issues with
Vista. The fanboy gang doesn't even like it mentioned that Vista could
possibly have issues. They just want everybody to blindly praise
Microsoft being the brainless toads they are.

I find such stupidity entertaining in watching to what extremes these
bozos will go. They lie, they yell, they scream obscenities and in the
end it changes nothing. Like I said it does have some minimal
entertainment value to watch them go ape.

Um, it's spelled "losers". Now, what do Linux users lose? They lose
worrying about viruses and malware. They lose worrying about WPA, WGA
and DRM. They lose the BSOD experience. They lose having to get updates
all over the place. They also lose having to pay for an operating
system, Office, Photoshop and other programs. Yeah, Linux users are
losers, all right, but in this case losing is a very good thing.

A little English class for you:

Lose is the opposite of win.
Loose is the opposite of tight.

I have used GIMP on the Ubuntu side of my PC

to rescue photographs from an old CD that were impossible to get at on
the Microsoft side.

I have found the Ubuntu utilities more compatible with streaming audio
than the ones on the Microsoft side.

( especially Microsofts Media Player)

Ubuntu is Free. you can optimize your hard drive, download Ubuntu and
let it install itself.

[url]http://www.ubuntu.com/[/url]

Not a problem.

When Windows finally Dumps XP for some Slow, Ponderous Bug ridden
excuse for an OS, I'm giving up on it and using Ubuntu / Open source
Software.

"Licentious. Obnoxious. Anti-democratic. In case you can't tell, I'm
making a direct reference to Mr. Adam Albright. Before I launch into my
main topic, I want to make a few matters crystal-clear: (1) Failure to
recognize this salient point will result in Adam's getting free reign to
enshrine irrational fears and fancies as truth, and (2) as a result of
that, my observations are perhaps unique. Now that you know where I
stand on those issues, I can safely say that wily cutthroats like Adam
are not born -- they are excreted. However unsavory that metaphor may
be, Adam acts as if he were King of the World. This hauteur is
astonishing, staggering, and mind-boggling. He truly believes that he
defends the real needs of the working class. It is just such
counter-productive megalomania, muddleheaded egoism, and intellectual
aberrancy that stirs Adam to carve out space in the mainstream for
ungrateful politics.

I want to draw two important conclusions from this. The first is that
Adam and his gofers are wolves in sheep's clothing who will create
profound emotional distress for people on both sides of the issue
eventually, and the second is that the justification he gave for seeking
to judge people by the color of their skin while ignoring the content of
their character was one of the most addlepated justifications I've ever
heard. It was so addlepated, in fact, that I will not repeat it here.
Even without hearing the details you can still see my point quite
clearly: Adam keeps telling everyone within earshot that honesty and
responsibility have no cash value and are therefore worthless. I'm
guessing that Adam read that on some Web site of dubious validity. More
reliable sources generally indicate that he isn't as smart as he thinks
he is. As an interesting experiment, try to point this out to
Adam. (You might want to don safety equipment first.) I think you'll
find that if he had even a shred of intellectual integrity, he'd admit
that he has no evidence or examples to back up his point. Still, I
recommend you check out some of his commentaries and draw your own
conclusions on the matter. Adam teaches workshops on clericalism.
Students who have been through the program compare it to a Communist
re-education camp. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to
repeat it. Of course, if Adam had learned anything from history, he'd
know that I challenge him to point out any text in this letter that
proposes that we ought to worship feckless mountebanks as folk heroes.
It isn't there. There's neither a hint nor a suggestion of such a thing.


We no longer have the luxury of indulging in universalist, altruistic
principles that, no matter how noble they may appear, have enabled the
most self-satisfied spouters I've ever seen to compose paeans to
irrationalism. Didn't Adam tell his comrades that he wants to make
people suspicious of those who speak the truth? Did he first give any
thought to what would happen if he did? Of course, that question is
ridiculous -- as ridiculous as his gormless platitudes. None but the
grotesque can deny that he says that the sun rises just for him. What he
means by this, of course, is that he wants free reign to threaten the
existence of human life, perhaps all life on the planet. I understand
that I become truly impatient with people who refuse to recognize the
key role that he is playing in the destruction of our civilization, but
from the fog and mist of his disquisitions rises the leering grimace of
nihilism. An equal but opposite observation is that I and Adam part
company when it comes to the issue of quislingism. He feels that
those who disagree with him should be cast into the outer darkness,
should be shunned, should starve, while I suspect that he needs to stop
living in a fool's paradise. But there's the rub; his idea of mutinous
autism is no political belief. It is a fierce and burning gospel of
hatred and intolerance, of murder and destruction, and the unloosing of
an irascible blood-lust. It is, in every sense, a doctrinaire and pagan
religion that incites its worshipers to an infernal frenzy and then
prompts them to precipitate riots.


Adam does not merely undermine the current world order. He does so
consciously, deliberately, willfully, and methodically. His undertakings
were never about tolerance and equality. That was just window dressing
for the "innocents". Rather, someone has been giving Adam's brain a very
thorough washing, and now Adam is trying to do the same to us. Several
things he has said have brought me to the boiling point. The statement
of his that made the strongest impression on me, however, was something
to the effect of how he is a refined gentleman with the soundest
education and morals you can imagine. Forgive me for boring you with all
the gory details, but Adam's hypocrisy is transparent. Even the least
discerning among us can see right through it.

Correction: There is NO way to tell many Ubuntu people how.

But, of the 8 million alleged users, I have it on good authority that 4
million were African school children that were given the $100 laptop thingy.
Which they promptly ate.

"Loose" is correct.

Linux is the blow-up vinyl doll of the software industry. For some deviates,
it's adequate.

The rest of us prefer the real thing. You can train the real thing.
