Friends don't let friends install ubuntu !!

ubuntu is just a frozen snapshot of debian sid, ubuntizied so it's not compatible (binary) with debian anymore.

Ubuntu exists for profit and lazy people who don't want to set up "what they want in a desktop OS"

Pretty funny post IMHO

OUCH !

No, ubuntu sucks because it is nothing more than a six month snapshot of debian, ubuntized to make it binary non-compatible with debian goes against debian's DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

ubuntu is the aol of linux

But, choice is a good thing, I don't use, nor will ever use a watered down debian distro.

Just because ubuntu comes with codec's and *such* don't mean you can't install it in debian proper using apt-get update && apt-get install "whatever", notice no sudo bullshit

Webkit is not GPL. There are pieces in LGPL, and the majority is a BSD license.

That means that changes to the library itself must be open source. However, the program using the library may be proprietary.

I don't know why the truth was modded troll, only on ./ :)

Why download a .exe for linux ???????????

It's much easier & faster in linux

apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-linux-free firmware-realtek

takes about a blink of an eye and your done, not a few minutes

As said by Hairy

""How "user friendly" is an OS with such piss poor design that features Windows has for over a decade""

Hmm, perhaps another college educated person ?

It really amazes me

How anyone with any type of a pea sized brain that knows anything about computers (yes, even so called "retail" personal) and yet, has the "balls" to compare windows and linux

Yes, I do consider you a troll, a troll that has no clue why ?

Why ?
Why ?

Intellectual Property

Copyrights
TrademarksIP
Licensing
Licensing Terms
Terms of Use
Piracy

I actually AIN't going to go any further, I barely thought you credible before, but this post was the funniest I have ever seen , especially from a "business person"

You see, the difference between YOUR challenge and My challenge is mine works

Be thankful you have a choice, I choose Linux it works for me

That is my choice and I am happy

It's not your choice and your happy

Over the years here, reading your posts made me wonder .....

This thread was excellent it really shows how ... you really are

In fact, I wouldn't let you touch anything electronic with a billion foot pole.

How you ever got by in so called "retail" "system builder"

I have no clue, I would not go to you even for free, your criteria of measurement does not measure up to me

You my son, yes, I can say son, cause you are young, have lost what little respect I had for you to begin with

You have lost cause of plain old stupidity

plain & simple

I do have to say, you are one of the best trolls I have seen on ./

I have never seen someone as unhappy as you, being a retailer and all, maybe it's time for a new line of work

Ubuntu on the other hand would be my last choice as a linux distro to use/install, it is the AOL/Windows of linux

I for one, don't even count ubuntu as a distro, it is nothing but a frozen snapshot of debian, bastardized and not even debian binary compatible.

Friends don't let friends install ubuntu

Linux developer & system builder and 100 % happy & retire in 9 years & counting
Been M$ free 100% since 1993 and very happy, my workplace is also M$ free

Life is good

""I don't fault the Linux community too much for losing on the desktop. Linux was supposed to beat Microsoft on the desktop.""

I bet your college educated ( in the USA ) or just reaching puberty

Nowhere does Linus say it's supposed to beat M$ on the desktop

Notice the keyword - HOBBY

For me, actually , every year, linux has been the year of the desktop

su password

apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-forever

apt-get install debian

There, fixed that for you

Rookie, I take it you've never been there, and this is coming from an American errr Obamacan I wouldn't mock the Brits to much, there same Fords, Chevy's, get twice the amount of gas mileage that we get cell phone plans lol, don't even go there the monthly plans we pay for tv,,internet is a freaking joke compared to the tv license you pay once a year and that is cheaper than what I pay per month to watch hundred's of channels of paid advertisement and commercials (adverts) every 4-5 minutes I would say that America is much much more of a dictatorship than the UK I am a born & raised American, and also own a house in the UK Greed, Corruption, Monopoly's, ruined this once great Nation Don't knock a place just because you have never been there

Why don't you start making the packages yourself, then you can name them whatever you want

ROFLMFAO That my friend, is because the US has shit for internet period, whether it's phone or desktop, corporate greed keeps it that way, only in america, (besides the us, I do own a house in europe also, well, the wife does and we are there frequently. I have watched this place go to hell the last 25 years, I feel sorry for the kids that pay for a very overpriced education. I really feel sorry for my grandkids. 9 years I retire, and I will not be doing that in the US.

Fuck ubuntu. Use the real thing --- DEBIAN. Ubuntu an ancient African word Meaning Debian for tots. Looking at the ubuntu forums and all the problems with ubuntu. Why the fuck would anyone use it ? especially for any type of server.
