LOL! Buy somebody else's idea of hardware! Please! I already have a
PC that is quite capable of doing anything that I want. It just can't
seem to do it with Linux!

That is not what I suggested. But you came up with the idiotic statement
that Linux cannot run a TRUe multimedia desktop and I said it's been doing
it long before MickeyMouse got into the field. You sure have a way to twist
things around and appear unable to stay on point. That's just sleezy.

And psst, got news for you ... it isn't Linux that's having trouble with
your hardware, it's you the operator having trouble with it.

And MythTV might be an option if Linux actually could boot on my system!
F*ck, can you ever be dense, or what!? First off, you have the marvel of an
o/s that can (on most people's computers) actually bootup and run from a CD
disk and provide them with tons of utilities that all run within RAM
without touching their existing systems by way of a Live Linux CD. Of
course these CDs are setup to work on the majority of user's computers.
They have to be put together to reach the most common denominator in
hardware configurations and amazingly they do! I've personally run Knoppix
Live CD on a half dozen very different x86 computers without a problem.
There are thousands of people having no difficulty at all running it. So it
doesn't run on your system. There's something the way your system is setup
that prevents this obviously. I'm not at your computer and can't ascertain
from a distance why you experience these problems. Maybe something in the
way your BIOS is setup? Maybe it's that HightPoint software RAID card?
Maybe it's your video card? Maybe you just need to look at some of the
cheat codes and incorporate some of them in the bootup? But to condemn
Linux based on YOUR experience with a LIVE CD distro is plain stupid. If
Linux was actually being installed on a hard drive in your system, it would
be possible to tweak it to work. It's pretty hard to tweak a write-only CD,
don't you think?
No, but Windows is more user friendly, and has the advantage of actually
being able to run on my system! So I want to use my system as an
expensive doorstop, I'll boot to a Linux Live CD, but if I actually want
to watch Desparate Housewives in HDTV, I'll use Windows.
See above in terms of being able to actually run on your system. I'm pretty
sure that Linux can be made to run and run very well on your system, but it
would take some investigation. You obviously are too lazy or inept to do
that. So you'll just have to wait until the perfect LIVE CD distro runs on
your particular hardware, the way YOU have configured it.

"User friendly" is a term you and your MickeySoft buddies like to throw
around. It's a totally unscientific term that means nothing in the real
world of computers. I find running an operating system that has the power
Linux offers and not needing to spend my time constantly worrying about
updating anti-virus, trojan and spyware data files a "user friendly"
computing experience. I find not having to worry about installing a piece
of software that can bring down my whole system, a "user friendly"
experience. I find that having a TCP/IP stack that gives me almost twice
the bandwidth I get from my Windoze box, a "user friendly" experience. I
find the additional power I get and speed of my computer in multi-tasking a
heavy load of applications/services a "user friendly" experience. I find a
one click install of FREE and excellent software when I want it, a "user
friendly" experience. I have NOT found Windoze to be as "user friendly" as
Linux, and that is why I switched and stayed with Linux. But before doing
so, I too thought that Windoze was "user friendly" over Linux as that is
the FUD perpetuated by MickeySoft. But I learned differently after having
done so. So why would you have such a difficult time believing those of us
that have actually experienced the 2 different computer operating systems
over your own experience, which has NO Linux experience? That is just plain
stupid and has no merit and suggests a pig headed closed mind.

Yesterday he got into an argument with me about the HighPoint RAID
card he has in his computer. I told him it was a software RAID card
and he insisted that since it was a PCI card it was hardware RAID.
Really the guy is pretty clueless, but thinks he knows it all. Just
shows you how sheltered Windoze "gurus" are to the workings of a
computer. When confronted with actually understanding their
computers, they throw there hands up in the air and condemn Linux for
being inadequate for their hardware. An operating system designed to
be portable to all kinds of platforms including stand-alone devices,
but somehow is inadequate on Kurt's machine. The mind boggles.

What a LIAR!

You - "Just a thought. The Highpoint, I don't know. Those RAID systems
are kinda
wierd because they're not real hardware raid, but software raid. Kinda
funny beasts. (I'm not suggesting you disconnect the RAID )"

Me - "Huh? The PCI RAID card is not hardware?"



You - "Checkout this article at Tom's Hardware
<http://www.tomshardware.com/storage/20040625/index.html> for a little
about the difference between hardware RAID and sofware RAID."

And I made no reply! Hardly an argument by USENET standards, of by any
standard!

See how you Linux advocates have to distort the truth!

As you and I know, it's not Linux that's inadequate, it's guys like
Kurt, who don't have a clue because they've lived under the spoon-fed
shelter of Windoze where all choice is taken away and things work (or
sort of work for a time) until something goes wrong and they're
forced to wait for the latest patch from their propreitary vendors.

If indeed, Kurt was really interested in running an efficient, stable
and secure computer, he would be open to investigating an alternative
to Windoze that delivers and he'd make the effort to learn how to get
it working.

It's sad to think that he actually believes he's got a great
newsreader there in OE! :-) He has NO IDEA what he's missing and what
it means to control a computer rather than have it control you. But,
what the heck. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him
drink. Blind is blind and in this case is probably not worth
pursuing. Let him play with his Wintendo system and believe that that
is what a computer is all about.


Blah, Blah, Blah! And this is the problem with you Linux advocates and
why you are what is holding back the Linux community!

I am trying Linux, and I keep trying Linux, but instead of helping you
just sign its praises and any deficiency is the user!

Part of the same conversation as quoted before:

Me - "The Linspire Live CD dies in about 5 seconds. Running the
diagnostic, the final message is: <0> Kernel panic - not syncing :
Attempted to kill init! But I'll keep trying. One day Linux will be
more friendly to my system."

You - "A really nice live cd to try is knoppix, if you haven't tried
it."

Me - "Knoppix died in about the same 5 seconds it took Linspire to die,
which
makes sense since they are both derivatives of Debian."

You - "OK, here's a suggestion in case you didn't try it. Unplug the
USB2 drive and
try and boot knoppix. See if that works for you. After you're in the GUI
you can plug the USB2 drive in."

Me - "No go. Even tried a failsafe boot, and it last about 2 seconds
longer
than a normal one."

Then the crickets chirped! As you ignore that part of my post to dwell
on my RAID.

I believe you pegged it.

LOL! All I've ever said bad about Linux is that it won't run on my PC.
A very apt description of this fellow. But
there are a few more like him around here. They're the type of
computer user who knows just enough to be "support staff" to moms and
pops because they know about KB articles, third-party condoms, or how
to google for answers, but don't have the guts, smarts or motivation
to get beyond this basic simplicity. Deep inside, they probably get
glimpses of the shortcomings of their o/s, but it would take just a
little too much effort on their part to get beyond it so they shoot
out at people like us that have gone beyond. I guess they feel their
egos are somehow being threatened by their own inadequacies? Or maybe
straying into unfamiliar territory will make the letters behind their
names (MVP, MCSE, or whatever that MickyMouse ego stroking crap is)
less important? I'm not sure, I know what the explanation is for
their behavour. It is indeed very strange.

Blah, Blah, Blah. And it's because of people like you that more people
don't try Linux.

Despite you windbag, all talk Linux advocates, I will keep trying Linux
on my PC.

<snip>

Oops! I fogot to go back and reply to this part. A failsafe boot of
Knoppix is supposes to ignore most of the hardware detection, yet is
still gives up the ghost, and won't boot on my machine. But I know it
is not a CD problem because it does boot into the GUI on the other PC in
the house.

But that one is not mine to install Linux on.

Two LinTrolls and One Moron do not come close to adding up to

So yes, you made up this nonsense that "everyone" is saying the same
things about me.

Ever get your antique CD burner working?

Ever bother to turn me in to MS?

You are like a girl that grabs both of your ass cheeks, and pulls you
into her, harder and harder each time, while at the same times is

Twist and turn and wriggle and squirm and distort, distort, distort. Who was

said it wasn't user friendly? Who was it that said it was beyond the

Good, keep trying. BTW, this newsgroup isn't the place to seek out Linux
support. There are other, more appropriate newsgroups where you will find
plenty of good help. Just keep your shitty attitude here and don't take it
elsewhere if you truly require assistance.

Twist and turn and wriggle and squirm and distort, distort, distort.

LOL! And what did I distort? I left all of your words intact! You
couldn't even point out that you snipped out a huge chuck of my reply to
you!

So "Twist and turn and wriggle and squirm and distort, distort, distort"
back at you, baby!

If anyone has been shown to have distorted anything it is you! I'm not
the one that described one simple question "an argument."
Who was it that kept saying that Linux wasn't ready for the desktop?

It isn't for the majority of users, who don't bow down to it as their
saviour!

And only a true believer in the Linux Faith would see this as a knock on
Linux! In the same breath I am have also said that Linux is a good
server OS, it just ain't ready YET for the masses of non-server desktop
PC users. It will be someday, hopefully soon. You are just so
fanatical that you think that any objective criticism of Linux is an
attack on Linux!
Who was that said it wasn't user friendly?

It's not for the majority of computer users in the world! Again, this
is not an attack on Linux, rather it is stating the reality that most
computer users don't want to learn command line stuff, they just want to
point click and get on with it.
Who was it that said it
was beyond the capabilities of most ordinary Windows users?

I am a worst an Intermediate Windows User, above the "ordinary." And
while I can install it on a computer that is capable of running it,
there are too many arcane things to know to do certain things. What
Linux lacks it a QA department that isn't dominated programmers and
geeks but by everyday average users. The majority of the Linux
Development Community has long ago forgotten how the average folk use
computers and software, and code for what is easiest for developers and
greeks to do, not what is the easiest way for the average
techno-illiterate computer user.
All
things that you've repeated over and over here.

So?! None of it is an attack on Linux! Linux is a very good OS, just
not for those that ain't Linux freaks.
Now, it's people like
me that prevent others from trying Linux.

Yeah, you and many, if not most of, Linux advocates' attitude that Linux
is the Holy Grail of computing is! You see any criticism as an attack,
when most of the time it is not.
Man, you sure are some
number. You distort the truth almost as much as a Bush speech writer.

LOL! Me, a Bush speech writer!

See. You are not helping your Virgin-born OS any acting like that with
somebody that is very sympathetic to Open Source to begin with! Now
imagine how you look to all those in this group that don't like me
because they wrongly see me as a Microsoft hater! You look much worse
to them, as they can see that I am not bad-mouthing Linux at all, just
trying to be honest.
Good, keep trying.

I will!
BTW, this newsgroup isn't the place to seek out
Linux support.

I wasn't really. But you ain't here to help out anyone with Windows.
There are other, more appropriate newsgroups where you
will find plenty of good help.

I don't want help. I want to keep my innocense, so I can approach Linux
in much the same way as the average computer user would. How else would
I be able to give as impartial of an opinion of the state of the Linux
OS to the average user.
Just keep your shitty attitude here
and don't take it elsewhere if you truly require assistance.

LOL! That is pretty funny coming from a guy that thinks every and all
criticism of Linux is an attack!

Beside the fact that Linux is not very friendly to the average user, it
is the like of you that are the biggest problem in getting more people
into trying out Linux!

Hopefully Linux will continue on the road to acceptance by the masses,
in spite of its Zealots!

Actually, it was my attempt to get the MS Censor riled up with out

Usually posts that have vague allusions to the alleged rape victim
asking to get raped get pulled around here. [ Now that I explained to

It just goes to show ya' how lame and utterly useless your tattletaling
