I'm somewhat computer literate but I'm not exactly sure of why people use Linux other than the fact that it's free. Anyone care to explain?

Slow day? Neighbors clogging it up? Any number of reasons.
[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;26181590]Slow day? Neighbors clogging it up? Any number of reasons.[/QUOTE] S' possible but the file size is 636.6MB. And the download rate has been dipping below 10KiB/s. And thats terrible.

steam is slow as fuck
[QUOTE=.ediT;26181696]steam is slow as fuck[/QUOTE] Not for me. Steam has always gotten the same if not better download rates as my normal internet. Except, of course, on weeks when massive games are released/free wekends.(a la TF2)
what are you comparing it to? public torrent trackers and itunes?
[QUOTE=.ediT;26181795]what are you comparing it to? public torrent trackers and itunes?[/QUOTE] Well just recently I was downloading the World of Tanks beta which is 1.6gb at ~650kb/s and then earlier the same day I was downloading Judge Dredd: Dredd versus Dead which is a bit smaller at ~700 kb/s. I was home alone. Could just be my wireless card capping off everything and the real internet is faster, I guess...
[QUOTE=SnakeSolid;26180412]I'm somewhat computer literate but I'm not exactly sure of why people use Linux other than the fact that it's free. Anyone care to explain?[/QUOTE] a) It's free b) It's nice to have an OS you can practically customize as much as you want c) I've found it often works better than Windows (Tablet works out-of-the-box? Beat that, MS!) d) Programming for Linux is much nicer than for Windows in my opinion. I suppose you've never seen the WinAPI.

When I was younger, a friend of mine wanted gta vice city... So I copied the game's shortcut on a floppy and gave him the floppy.
[QUOTE=Chemtex;26181434]no your friend is a dumbass, your internet plan probably only allows that much[/QUOTE] Or you're a decent distance away from the Exchange, You might be paying for ADSL2+, 20Mbits Usually, But if your a KM or two away from the Exchange you will get only 15Mbits or so, Some cities only have one, and when they do have one it will generally be placed in the center. Bigger cities have multiple and are usually placed in Mostly in Suburban Area's, It's not just what you pay for, Geography also comes into count here. I pay for ADSL2+ and get about 6Mbit down and 1 Up instead of 20Mbit down and 5Mbit Up or so.
