Linux Questions
LordWiccara:
Hello, and thanks for your help. One thing that I've noticed while browsing through the Fourms is that people are not very nice to newbies. Thank for for (mainly) supporting me in my "adventure" to find the right Linux OS. I have been doing a lot of research into Red Hat 9, and I think thats what ill go to. Thanks again for your help and support!

Are you really implying that those who use Windows software should never run Linux? The guy didn't say that he intends to be emulating Windows. :rolleyes:

I was replying to Linux user who said:

Are you saying that you should switch to Linux just so you can purely run Windows programs within it?
Yeah, thought so.
Oh, and nice use of the smily. Nothing says "you don't matter and neither does what you say" as much rolling your eyes. (And yes, I know I'm making a big deal out of the smily. I'm being sarcastic, before any of you decide to flame me.)

I don't understand. If you want to run Windows software, then, for christs sake, USE WINDOWS! IT'S THAT SIMPLE! What's the point of switching if you're just going to be emulating Windows?

What if it's only one or two applications? Putting the argument about availability of native alternatives aside, it's kind of silly to reboot into Windows every time you want to use this one application when you use everything else in Linux.

I basically only use Wine for a few games. I refuse to use wine for anything unless it runs it flawlessly, and wine(x) runs warcraft 3 flawlessly.

Hi, I am a new Windows hater, and I have a few questions about upgrading to Linux.
What is the best Linux platform, Ive heard a lot of good things about Red Hat Linux, but I dont know what version to get or what they all do.
Is it a lot more complicated to learn than Windows? and does it have a lot of complicatd coding processes just to set it up?
Is there anything to run Windows based drivers on?
Thanks for your help.
