Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
I'm sick and tired of these "linux is ugly" comments
isolationist:
Mac Comrade: Couldn't agree more, free, secure, stable. That's why I'm using Linux (I am actually re-installing it now because the hard-drive got dropped a few times, its a 170Mb HDD on a 486, in case that scares you, I'm using Slackware).
In my opinion, whoever says they think Linux sucks and that Windows is better should be eradicated from this site and be left to enjoy the eye-candy. Obviously this person can't think properly or has never used DOS because he can't find the mouse cursor. At least with DOS you get fast access to your files, graphics card and everything else because you don't have 500Mb of DLL files blocking up your memory.
On Windows 1.01, I have used it on an IBM XT (4.77 Mhz 8088 CPU, 20Mb HDD, CGA 640x200 2 colours) and I am amazed that Windows ever took off at all!!!

X11 needs to shed the bitmapped engine for a vector-based engine. end of story. bitmapped graphics frameworks need to find their way out. they're hopelessly outmoded.
X11 has the most advanced features of any framework, but it has one of the poorest (albiet flexible) renderers.

Im sorry if my sig offends, Im just promoting my website. My response above was to the person who thought all linux looked like shit. Sometimes the elitist attitudes that some mac users have is too much. Its almost like slackware users on drugs.
Pantso:

Don't get me wrong. I hate elitist and discriminating attitude myself, whether that comes from Mac or Linux users. BTW, I like your "slackware users on drugs" remark. :D
Calum:
i agree with preacher and panos.
not that any of you care, since those of us whom i agree with are all elitist fascists who don't listen to anybody's opinion but our own. </sarcasm>
