I neva believed I'd actually say this...
choasforages:
man, redhat 8.0 is giong to be great. and gnome2 is very easy to use/*not easyto set up, took me 5-6 hours*/ and how many fps would you get on a k6-3 400mhz running quake3 at like 1600x1200? i get like 24 or so. and im actally using windos me on my thinkpad cuase my parents made me do it. but as soon as FreeBSD has easly installable packages of openoffice. thats what ill use, and if they give me the windows crap, ill tell them that they made windows from *BSD
RudeCat7:
It sounds a lot like "I'm rubber, you're glue"
Unix is not for the desktop for the average Joe. I agree.
Not much of an argument there. As far as the rest of your remarks... laughable.
My 4.5 year old son uses win98 for games, but I'm gonna figure out how to use Connectix Virtual Playstation in Wine soon....and he's gonna convert too!
edit: and the RudeCat name came from my Commodore 64 days, 'bout 18 years ago...hmm, I remember this kind of arguing on the BBSs too.

How can you say that *nix isn't convenient? It has everything the average user will need. the "Average user" seems to be your strongest point. but linux comes with everything the average user needs. it has email, office, a shitload of games (on readhat at least), top of the line graphics programs (not that they need anything better than paint, there is kpaint though). Whatever it is the average user needs linux has preinstalled. you dont need to spend $800 for microsoft office, you dont need to spend $200 for kernel upgrades, which the average user wouldn't need anyways. And you dont have to travel around in fear of viruses, so you dont need to spend $100 or so a year for a subscription to mcaffee. (or however you spell it). What is 1 advantage that windows truely have? I can only think of games, and that is because the makers of most games are pro windows and get paid for it. ID makes some good linux games. You tell me 1 true advantage that windows has over linux.

You fucking idiot. I know how to use *nix based systems. I am talking about people who don't know how to and don't have the time to learn how to use the *nix systems.
The fact that Windows is easy to use is the reason why MS has like 89% of the desktop marketshare, Apple has like 10% and *nix has under 1%.
To Rudecat,
VoidMain doesn't make stupid posts telling people to fill out thier profiles. Why in the hell should a person care about profiles?
With that said, I have no problem arguing with Void because he isn't a complete idiot(hence why I haven't told him to go suck a dick). You on the other hand are a waste of my time. Her, Her...fill out your profile...her...her, hardy..har. :rolleyes:

The kind of people I'm talking about barely even know how to use a computer(they have to use crappy ISP's like AOL because of the ease of use for crying out loud). With that said, what makes you think they would even know where to begin in running a *nix system.
Word up, Windows works, is conveiniant and offers everything needed for your average user. It takes very little knowledge for a computer n00b to operate Windows. Linux is getting easier to use, but it is not nearly easy enough for computer n00bs and people who don't care to learn how to extensivley use a computer.

Does anyone else find it ironic that he slams AOL for being easy to use and ubiquitous, but praises Windoze for the same reason?
If people should dump AOL for being only for dumb n00bs, then they should dump Windoze for the same reason, accoring to Zombie's reasoning.
