Linsux and Winbloze - There is no decent operating system for the PC!

Not only did you bastardize two insult spellings of "Windows" (Winblows and Windoze), you misspelled it. GREAT JORB.
quote:It ran well for all of 3 days, then (for no apparent reason) it started to display stupid error messages when shut down (GUI error blah...), we hadn't even connected to the Internet.

There's gotta be a reason. Problems don't just show up. You did something... probably installed an assload of bullshit games and 50 crappy half-ass photo editors. Oh yeah, OEM installs always suck shit. Same is true of Mac OS X. I fucking hate OEM installs of any OS. Not only are they always more unstable, they're always weighted down with a million crappy ass apps, ad-ware, and shitty ass "OEM custom" features that fuck things up.
quote:When we did connect all was well for a week (apart from the previous problem) then for some reason we contracted the netsky virus, the latest update for our virus scanner fixed it (or it said it did but we still get messages saying that some non-existent file is infected.). Now every now and again it hangs even when it's not being used!

This is your own fault for not installing the damn security updates. Those are released for a reason.

Aloone, don't get too discouraged. Jimmy does this to everybody. :D It's fun to read but lots of people just don't know until they come here. You have been saved. It only gets better. ;)

Indeed. I should have said "welcome to Linux, friend".

What do you mean?
I'm surprised that people here at http://forum.microsuck.com are so against silly nicknames for Microsoft products!
Perhaps this site should be in for another name change!
Oh well if you people hate them so much, I will try to refrain from using them, It has become a habit though. I find myself using them in college work.
ps According to Control Panel my graphics card:
Chip Type: S3 ProSavage DDB
DAC Type: S3 SDAC
Memory Size: 32MB
Adapter String: S3 Compatible Display Adapter
Bios Version: 78.60.00.10
Linux uses a generic S3 Adapter driver which is slow, and only detects 16MB of video RAM. I have set it to 32MB with negligible difference in performance.

So what kind of videocard do you have? Slackware Linux 10 picks my GeForce 4 up as "VESA", but after installing the Linux drivers off nVidia.com, I was able to run Unreal Tournament 2004 on it at 1024
