hahaha, what little you know. slackware 9/kde happens to have all sorts of little gui tools. like the easy gui for messing with X. or countless others. the only downside to linux are things we call IP, or intellectual property.
Calum:
that's not a downside because it is not an issue. linux has less intellectual property issues than any other OS that i know of. It's the only OS i have heard of for instance that has a TCP/IP stack NOT based on BSD's one. Why? because at the time Cox & others were developing the TCP/IP software for linux, BSDI was getting sued. Linux does not play fast and loose with intellectual property contrary to what you might have read.
as for those flames about macs being hassle free, are you guys telling me i was wrong? are you in fact telling me that if you get a macintosh you still have a lot of hassle to get it working right? I was under the impression that my comments were pro-macintosh from the perspective of the Mac-As-Toaster brigade. well, looks like you can't please some of the people any of the time.
finally, yes slack9/kde have tons of GUI stuff that definitely rivals macOS (not tried OSX but i reckon slack9/kde definitely is superior to WinXP as far as GUI tools goes) but so what? who mentioned slack?

Also, there are no GUI Admin tools better than OSX's. Well actually there might be, I just have never seen any.

Calum. When I installed Redhat 9 I did absolutely *NO* "administrative tasks". And through a week using it on and off I have not done any "administrative tasks". That's another stereotype that I can't figure out. If Linux people know that nice distros like Redhat (dont know about others) dont need administration, why are they saying it does... hmm...
The flash is cool, I think they are trying to take people's stereotypes of Linux and turn it into humor, which can be good and bad of course. Besides, the site is ubergeek, usually your proud to be a geek to go to any site with 'geek' in it, Make conclusions for yourself .
