My one gripe about linux

[piratePenguin]

For one I dont see the benefits or updating my kernel everytime a new one come out. I can see updating a kernel when there is a major revision.

You don't have to compile the kernel yourself. The advantages of doing that are close to nil, and the chances of fucking up unless you RTFM (after RTFM, though, it's pretty simple) are quite high. Just use binary releases of the kernel from your distribution.

Your attitude about linux is one of the reasons why it wont be an alternative to users who are currently using windows, and wont ever get popularity among regular people. I dont sucribe to your belief.

From what I can see worker201 was just stating a few fairly obvious truths.

Some game developers build their games for GNU/Linux and some don't. These SFC3 developers obviously don't. Whose fault is that?

i normally keep my kernel up to date by *.*.*, i do *.*.*.* when im bored though

Unfortunately , my linux box died in the middle of the Vector installer. I liked Debian, but I couldn't get any GUI out of it. I was putting on Vector as a dual boot, and it died on me. The screen just went blank, I suspect something in the IDE chain for the cdrom, becuase the main drive jammed, I tried another but that prevented it from booting.

It obviously the developers. I am going to install a small windows partition so I can that game. I am not in a hurry to putz with my partitions right now.

 Good for you.  WindowsBBS is waiting to hear from you.

Then why and the hell are you registered with microsuck.com? BTW I feel so sorry for you.

I could see having a windows partition for games IMHO, but running XP all the way.....Oh yeah :fu: Microsoft.

Hahaha If Linux Is So Good Y Do They Give It Away?//// U Have To By Windows

[Dark_Me]

I say ban, or a least tempban, for JARULES. He/She/It oviosly isn't going to contribute anything and will just continue sodomising grammar.

I agree, but this does not belong in this thread and belongs in a private message to our very productive, thoughtful, compassionate, caring Admin Refalm.

JARULES is just a spammer who tends to follow me around for some reason, i think he googles for my name or somthing.

Some things are better when they're free.

Are you referring to the ban?

GNU/Linux is good because it's free (as in freedom) software (and is also "given away") (For non-retards: some might disagree with that, but I can't see GNU or Linux (which, remember, was begun by a (AFAIK not-rich (and thus probably couldn't have employed developers to work on Linux)) Finnish university student.) coming as far as they've come if they weren't free software.).

I'm pretty sure you haven't used GNU/Linux. You might be surprised how excellent it is if you tried it.

It's so common of retards to use "If X is so good then why is it free (as in price)?" as an argument against alot of free software. I've seen it used for the GIMP, and GNU/Linux itself. Fucking retards...
