| 244640 | 2004-07-13 08:05:00 | I still think this was all summed up with kiki's quote: "Remember the definition of an operating system? It's the thing that manages a computer's resources so that application programs can run. People don't really care much about operating systems; they care about those application programs that the operating system makes possible. Word Processors. Instant Messaging. Email. Accounts Payable. Web sites with pictures of Paris Hilton. By itself, an operating system is not that useful. People buy operating systems because of the useful applications that run on it. And therefore the most useful operating system is the one that has the most useful applications." |

Oh and thanks Chill, I was simultaneously downloading Ark linux last night as well and that will be why it was going a little slow for me ;) |

Just be quiet about it and dont annoy the 95% plus who use Microsoft Windows. Its a bit like the $18.00 angle grinder I bought at the Warehouse you get what you pay for, linux is free go figure. tedheath |

There is a saying "It is better to let someone think you are a fool than to open your mouth (type) and prove it." |

| 244644 | 2004-07-13 13:00:00 | Growly, Mikebartnz: Good points :-) I think that Gaming also is a real catch-22, so native games like Battle for Wesnoth have to fill in the void for the time being :-) Kiki: Nice article - Sad they didnt review debian and gentoo also :-( |
