| 184524 | 2003-10-18 23:05:00 | linux nowadays, doesn't really need commannds, it's all gui basicly, How big is your hard drive? why not have both. Tell your parents that linux is coooooooooooler. (i'm 13) |

| 184525 | 2003-10-19 00:21:00 | The biggest drawback is the modem compatiability issue. That puts most people with a WinModem off | The_Banned_One (4744) | ||
| 184526 | 2003-10-19 00:52:00 | Unless of course there are actually Linux drivers for their winmodem :) There are at least three, maybe four brands of winmodems that I know work under Linux. They are all fairly common too. | segfault (655) | ||
| 184527 | 2003-10-19 00:59:00 | The "most common" ones have drivers . That's how it works . The only thing which will stop that is when the manufacturers won't release the documentation needed . But we've been through this subject over and over . :-( ilikelinux: this could easily become another MS-Linux flamewar which is not useful at all . I like Linux too . . . so do a few other people . ;-) But there are other people who (for whatever reasons) like other OSs . Since in all matters of faith (just like religion and politics) you can't change peoples minds, it's best to avoid the "mines better" subjects . |

| 184528 | 2003-10-19 01:14:00 | i've mentioned a few times that i have a interest of trying linux... its just having to partition the hdd as if i ever get linux i'd go dual booting... and modem compatibility etc... and the other annoying thing about linux is they update it quite often, more often than windows........if i am not wrong.... and yeah i dont want this turning into a flamewar but i think it will :( |

| 184529 | 2003-10-19 01:24:00 | Can't think of any more reasons to switch to it, but a few why not to, the main one being, It is so slooooww it is unbeliveable, the rboot up process takes so lomg you may as well go and have tea or something while it boots up, one thing I spose, you wouldn't have to re-boot it as often as Windoze, which is just as well. |
