Well I finally broke down and tried this "Linux" thing that everyone was talking about.
I went into this with high expectations. Now don't get me wrong, I never thought that
it was going to be as good as Windows is, but I never could have imagined the pile of
steaming crap that "Linux" would turn out to be.
For starters, now get this, if I wanted to get this so called "free" program, I would have to download a FULL CD. Now
like not a lot of you I have an AOL dialup account and as you can imagine this was not an option for me. I was already getting the
feeling that "Linux" was for the super uber geeks that have that "Broadband" stuff. That was nut kick number 1. But I'm a trooper,
so I searched for some other way to get it. Well after countless hours of searching I came across someone who was willing to
send me a DVD. Now for my second kick in the nuts. This guy had the nerve to ask me for four dollars to send it to me. FOUR
DOLLARS for a friggin "free" program. I'm starting to think these FLOSS people don't understand what the word "free" means.
I think FLOSS needs to look at the way MicroSoft does things. When I bought my computer, Windows XP was already on there for FREE.
I was determined to find out what the hype was about though, so I emptied my pockets and sent the guy the money.
Finally, like a WEEK later my DVD arrived. I sat down, put the DVD in my CDROM and waited.
Nothing. NOTHING. I was immediately on the phone with my local police department to report the fraud that I was just a victim
of. That's when I got my third kick in the nuts. They told me there was nothing they could do about it. I'm out of four dollars
and nobody seemed to care.
That was my experience with "Linux". I don't want to sound bitter but until FLOSS can fix the following problems with "Linux" you
would be well advised to stay far far away(unless you enjoy being repeatedly kicked in the nuts).
1. FLOSS should just send everyone free copies of Linux, if it really is "free".
2. Linux needs to be able to stop people from selling fake copies of itself.
3. Linux needs to have local police agencies behind it.
4. Linux needs to make a deal with the Post Office so that it doesn't take so long to get it.
And the MAIN thing FLOSS needs to do with Linux -
I should be able to run "Linux" from Windows. That's the only way to be sure it works correctly.
I'll be sticking with Windows XP. I mean, think about it. There was Windows 2000, 2003 then XP. Obviously MicroSoft has invented
some sort of time travel device and brought back technology from so far in the future we've run out of numbers to describe it.

This is copied from somewhere.
why did you spend 4 dollars on a dvd. they're like less than 1 dollar
also, i have DSL. not broadband. and i could download a linux distro
thirdly, this is coming from someone who likes windows more than linux. yes, i like windows more.
but every program on linux is free. and they dont get windows viruses. and they're faster.
which i think is cool.
also, dont use XP. get 7.
also, i probably just got trolled.
you did just get trolled
tis obviously a joke don't feed the troll etc

Does compwhizii even have any experience in linux??
If not, then this subforum needs it's own dedicated moderator.
