That's the problem.:( It is not an excuse, I've paid for those software. |

| 460622 | 2006-06-05 09:44:00 | MTLance, I think you need to give Linux a chance. Almost any program you are likely to use under Windows will have a Linux equivalent - don't get so fixated on the exact software package but rather focus on what it is that you need the software to do. Of course there may still be the occasional program with no good Linux alternative - voice recognition is one (at least I've never found any for Linux), and you may also have a problem with some 3D games - although some of these are now also released for Linux. Give it a chance before being so harsh on it - you've hardly scratched the surface and yet you've already bashed it in at least three different threads. |

| 460623 | 2006-06-05 09:48:00 | Using my own sweet time to work on my school work of course, I've many softwares in there so canhelp me a lot not using Linux. I'll feel different if I use resources from the web only. Plus installed programmes are a lot faster and easier to search. And I can play my favourite games in there since many games industries built it for Windows platform. |

I often hear stories of people at my local LUG who often goes back to Windows, despite people helping them out etc. Seems to be their "comfortable home" or something. It doesn't worry me though ... Linux is hardly trying to sell you anything. |

I think you're right, if you ask too much questions people will get angry and since you've no problem using Windows and capable of defending yourself with Viruses, Why not use Windows and it is like a home to you now and not Linux because you aren't trained up with it. At the moment I've already let one of my machine running on Linux hoping to find gateway into enjoyment of Linux world like Windows. |

| 460626 | 2006-06-05 12:16:00 | um.. i still use xp as my main machine but the other one pretty much runs linux only i guess linux is more customizable in a way so you can decide what exactly you want your comp to do and set it up for that sole purpose maybe that's why i didn't remove xp from my main comp yet because i do too much random crap on it eg. my kubuntu just sits there, always on..checking rss feeds, emails and such and keep me on msn and be on 'away' 24/7 :p got some servers running..come in handy every so often also just a simple machine that can go online without problems especially handy for other family members who wants to hog your good comp just for hotmail or something~ and if i just want to check up something quick i can quickly grab that comp and find what i want without turning my other comp on..if it's off that is i guess the last reason for me to have it is..um..well learn something new i guess if you have a play computer to test randoms things out i don't see why not trying it out ..but something i don't want to admit is..i guess if i only have one comp ..it'll still be xp |

At the moment I've already let one of my machine running on Linux hoping to find gateway into enjoyment of Linux world like Windows. Some people actually like some challanges in there life, don't like being the norm and find Linux an interesting OS. It looks like you first intro to Linux wasn't good, here's a bit of news-neither was mine! I'm no expert but have managed to do on my Linux box the majority of things I can do on my Windows box and sometimes more. It's customisable. My desktop of choice, well really window manager, is Window Maker. I run an older distrobution called Red Hat 7.3 because it seems to suit me quite well, was easy to install, one reboot, and with some tweaks here and there. Believe it or not there are also still security updates. Hell I've even managed to compile a few newer programs and gotten them running just fine and dandy. Yes it takes time to learn/get use to but so did MacOS/DRDOS/MSDos-PCDos /win9x/NT4/win2k and XP. There's still plenty to learn though and no matter what OS you use knowbody can say they know it all. I'm glad you are happy with XP. I recomend you stick with it if that's what you are happy with :thumbs: |
