| 363945 | 2005-06-15 11:32:00 | Why not use Windows? Sorry for this but when people here say Windows is broke the answer will be Linux. When IE6 is broke the answer will be another non Microsoft browser. It appears to me that the whole answer will be to remove any Microsoft software and put anything else in its place. So if anyone wants a computer built I suggest they ALL come with A version of Linux. Which version of Linux is the correct one for all to use and will support all hardware? If you went to a school and learn't Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc what use will the knowlege be? Once apon a time most schools used Macs. I have no problems with people using open source Operating Systems and software. Point being that even the open source community can't agree. You make some interesting points, I will try to answer from my stand point. Windows does not immitate a linux server as well as linux OS does so therefore linux is the easy out for me. IE6 is broke and has been for some time, not saying the other browsers are any better as they still need work to. I dissagree when you say "the whole answer will be to remove any Microsoft software"; Microsoft do make good easy to use software. Good luck with your Linux installs, I have found them very easy, but unless requested I would not even offer linux(probally cause I am still a novice). So far I have only had troubles getting linux to use a software based internal modem, Microsoft is much luckier as most of the hardware manafactures write drivers to make there hardware work with windows. I have learn't Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc, in my experience switching to a different office package, many of the skills can be transferred. At high school I used an Apple IIe. :@@: |

| 363947 | 2005-06-16 00:00:00 | Thanks, will boot back to linux later tonight. Can you reccomend any other distros. I do a bit of web development, and figure I can test from my PC, if running linux. + the text editors apear to be better at highlighting tags. Does anyone else use a wysiwyg GUI to develop with in linux, I have had a very breif look at Scream(think thats what it was called) and it looks prety good. have you looked at nvu http://www.nvu.com/ I haven't tried it, but it may be worth a crack |

Most Linux distros in DSE are about $10 |
