| 528700 | 2007-02-28 10:14:00 | Maybe they have tried Ubuntu, shuddered, and went to bed? If I wanted this level of bland un-usability I would have bought an Apple (Ducks into fireproof room). |

LOL i tried ubuntu the other day on my spare pc, after 3 days of fiddling/reinstalling, i gave up on networking and got out my windows cd. it seemed fine for the average user, but i couldn't get networking nor internet to work for more than 3 seconds :/ if anyone want's some ubuntu cds just ask |

| 528702 | 2007-03-01 15:45:00 | What I think I see is that gamers as a rule don't care for or like Linux systems..and I can understand that.... ...while others who don't game seem to get along just fine with it..(OK..there IS a learning curve..but we all had to run the gauntlet for WinNT at first)..right? :waughh: |
