Linux is an interesting toy
Believe me when I say I am for diversity in OS. But you see I am a product of the original small computer market back in the early 80's.
Every single computer ran its own OS - but all ran BASIC. BASIC was written or stolen by Bill Gates, depending upon your view. But not a small computer did run without MS Basic.
LINUX has many good points, but it simply will not run in a sophisticated user mode. By this I mean, an internal OS that will help a USER that does not quite have the exact same target computer system that the OS loader is looking for. In other words drivers.
USERS wish to use, and not program. But they also wish to be rewarded for knowledge and not be treated as a NEWBIE. LINUX treats all sophisticated WIN USERS as NEWBIES and provides no ONLINE resolution HELP for resolving CONFLICTS.
As such LINUX needs to improve, but I as a USER want a system sophisticated to my needs. I run a system configuration that indicates I can learn - namely NT4 with a Dual Boot into Windows, but NT4 works as you say LINUX does without crash (Ihave had 3 crashes in the last 12 months) and as such I wonder why LINUX should be more favorable. Do you not fear that Win2000 and XP with its solid NT buid will kill LINUX?
I fear that Microsoft with letting NT for home use will kill LINUX as NT does not crash - save sometimes in a year or so.

The guy is fucked up worse than Hogan"s goat; he probably tried to install a distro (my money's on Lindows) and couldn't, then he posted a really basic question to a Linux forum and got a RTFM reply; that crushed his fragile little ego, so he decided it was Linux, not him.
BTW: no point in replying to a mind that has slammed shut as firmly as his.
RudeCat7:
What he means is, that Linux doesn't provide hand holding and coddling....and that man pages aren't pretty and graphical.
He's had 3 crashes in the last 12 months, and he says, "NT doesn't crash like Linux"
BLIND!!!!

Oh shit that's the funniest thing I've ever read in my life! He sounds legally retarded.

And that's exactly why he uses an OS with an animated pooch to help him search and a stupid paperclip telling him how to save his Word file.
Sorry, I just had to point it out.
