That makes sense indeed.    :rolleyes:  


Well, you're saying Linux sucks because it didn't work with one particular video card.  I don't see the difference between that statement and Doctor V's statement.

[changing subject]
I will assure you, the problem of an unsupported video card is extremely rare in Linux.  Virtually any other video card that works in your computer will work in Linux, and give you the functionality you need.

the difference is that if a card doesn't work in windows, even though you installed the drivers and rebooted it's the fault of the card manufacturer, while if a card doesn't work in linux, even though you didn't install any drivers and haven't had to reboot, then it is entirely linux's fault.

this makes perfect sense, ask any windoid. try mo5d5o5summd5 or whatever his godsdamn name is.

Calum, everyone knows your right, so don't worry about it.  I must be one of the lucky ones, everyone seems to be saying new stuff will not work in Linux, well I got myself a nifty new printer (it's @ my dads house so don't ask for the model # is some HP photosmart) just came out, I set it up and it worked, Linux detected it.  Of course HP said it would not work in Linux, stupid stupid people...  The funny thing is I have like 2 printers each about 5 years old, neither of those worked.  It's probably just luck.  And no, I did not read the whole thread, I read enough though...

You talk about free and your ip addresses are logged here.

Where's the sense in that ?

And another thing : some html code was posted in the forums here which crashes IE.

It does crash IE indeed, why do you not implement it on this site ?

No sense in that either.

Because whan an MS user comes in here tired of MS, and is greeted with a crashed browser, he's likely to not come back to learn about Linux.

I never had a problem with that. After all, this is a UBB feature.

I don't believe that HTML is allowed here and even if it were, then I would still not post it and scare people away.

That aside, your posts have lost every bit of coherence and you my friend have stopped making any sense.

Gee, I wonder if you even thought that one up or just copied it from the feedback page on FMS!

If you actually used your little noodle to write such an angry message, feel free to read the first reply on this here page--I belive it applies to you very well.

I only read your post in the thread you linked to there Calum, and from what I've read, it sounds like Linux is much better than Windows. You gave a good argument also   . I'm thinking of transferring to Linux, but I'm going to do some research beofre I make any quick decisions

Well, I'm out of the woods.  Got my onboard sound card and my Geforce4 card working under RH 8.0.  The sound card was harder (flaky documentation from VIA.)  I wouldn't have figured it out with out help from my local LUG.

When I downloaded the 52 page readme from Nvidia I took a two week break, but it wasn't necessary.  I got it working in an hour.

One more brick in the Linux castle!
