| 109560 | 2002-12-29 07:16:00 | Im not sure I get what you're on about, but: I have done some programming, and I beta released my latest chat software 5 times before making a "Final" release. I have also added the source to the download site (www.geocities.com) for others to look at and comment on. I dont get what you're on about, but I do examine MY code before compiling it. VERY THOROUGHLY! *Chilling_Silence hopes he hasnt gone off down the wrong track here...* |

I think it was relating to the fact, that unless you download the source and compile it yourself, you can never be completely sure of what you are using. |

| 109563 | 2002-12-29 08:38:00 | You linux people remind me of the people who bought beta vcrs when they came out. The same people who would drive Ladas or Skodas watch tv3 news use netscape, bank with kiwi bank, tree hugging, labour voting, anti american, pro immigration etc. |

I agree with you there, but I can say that anybody in the world who desires, CAN view the source code IF THEY WANT! *Chilling_Silence would just like to point out he is not flaming, merely emphasizing words :D* However, with M$ software, to get a look-see at the code, you've gotta be one of the chosen few who are hired by Mr. Gates! In saying that, there is likely a lot more looking at Linux software :D |

I'm not anti american, i'm anti everything! (not quite really) I dont trust anything that is from something as big and ugly as any govt of any leaning, let alone M$. That has little however to do with Linux. I begun seriously using Linux about 4 months ago, (hence the birth of "Clueless the Linux virgin") I'm now $75% Linux, BECAUSE IT IS BETTER. The learning is in my spare time, and dispite feeling like a real twit at times, i am getting it. Once the penny drops, it becomes much simpler than 'doze, infinatly more stable, and the doze/linux virus ratio is nothing to be sneezed at either. Anyway Ted, i recon you were looking for a bite, and i possibly lowered the tone of the place by giving it, but there you are. Happy new year .Clueless |

Ted, Have you ever given it a shot? The Knoppix CD on the October Cover Disc for example? Ive now got 1 Laptop fully RedHat 8 Linux, one PC Dual booting with 2K (Coz I need 2K to play my windows games..), and soon another dual boot with 2K and another wholey dedicated Linux box to become a server (300Mhz with 192MB RAM for a firewall is a little much, but maybe I'll use it for other stuff). Not to mention - Its actually FUN! I have enjoyed learning it so much, something totally new. Amaze your friends that your PC doesnt have windows on it! (Not really, but that's besides the point) Perhaps the same could be said for you, loving windows to bits.. You like Windows, others prefer their own. They arent out to kill you for liking windows, but many simply want to share the experience of something new, something different. Give Knoppix a go, its not half-bad, and I promise, no health issues will arise from doing it too ;) :D Cheers Chilling_Silence |
