Only Fifteen More Days to Go!

and you can download the new Ubuntu, Karmic Koala, Ubuntu 9.10 from
[url]http://www.ubuntu.com/[/url] and it's free and comes with access to thousands
of free programs!

What you can do with Ubuntu:

Email
Surf the web
Burn CDs.
Rip CDs.
Listen to music.
Watch vidoes/DVDs.
Scan and print.
Spreadsheets.
Presentations
Newsgroups.
HTML editing.
Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc.
Make videos.
Download photos from a camera and organize them.
Translations.
Use a dictionary
Learn how to touch type.
Edit images.
Send and receive a fax.
Take screenshots.
Create .PDF files.
Create and use a data base.
Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including
Windows Live Messenger.
IRC.
Bluetooth.

and much more!

What you can't do with Ubuntu:

Worry about:
WPA and WGA raising their ugly heads,
DRM,
Viruses,
Root kits,
Spyware,
and
Malware.

The reasons that Ubuntu is more secure than Windows are twofold:

1. When *anything* in Ubuntu needs updating or patching, it all comes
from the same source and a little orange star appears when any updates
or patches are available. It's a known fact that anti virus apps and
anti malware apps can only deal with nasties that are known, not the new
ones. Hence, it is very important to be updated or patched and not just
the operating system but everything that is installed on the computer.
Windows has no central updating source and the user has to be checking
constantly for updates to their programs or face the possibility of
being compromised.

2. In Ubuntu, when anything wants to install, you have to key in your
password. With Windows, you have to click on "OK" or nothing at all as
is evidenced by drive by malware. Unlike Windows, the Linux kernel is
not intertwined with a browser like Windows is with Internet Explorer
and the kernel is kept away and protected from the user account.

See, that's just how stupid you are.
I do use linux ... it just isn't up to par with Windows.

I use a real distro, though.

What do you mean, we deserve each other?
I paid for it?
I picked it?
I like it (mostly)?
I wasn't influenced by a moron like you?

Yes.

[url]https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs[/url]
Look at bug number 1.

Retards.

Ubuntu is just Debian with restricted packages enabled.
So their input was the wallpaper.

If I want Debian, I know where to get it.

You just don't like the fact that UBUNTU SUCKS.
Plain and simple.
It's just friggen Debian, you moron.

They stole the work of others, made a wallpaper, then try to sell mugs and
t-shirts from that.

Re: Only Fifteen More Days to Go!

This system has worked for a couple of years - now I have changed the
router, but nothing else.
Antivirus in real time, yes, but the same as before and the same result if I
cut that off.
The printer is the same as before - HP color laserjet 2550L.
