Linux = Retarted Windows Wannabe

[super_science_monkey]

OK...so 2 days ago i installed linux mandrake 9.1 , this being the 4th distro ive tried i was obviosuly very hesitant but i didnt want to be a pawn of m$ forever so i did it anyways.BIG MISTAKE.
1.) START UP WAS MUCH SLOWER THAN WINXP (XP- >20SECS MAN- <140SECS)
2.) NO DECENT PROGAMS
3.) VERY POOR MULTIMEDIA SUPPPRT (COULD GET SOUND TO WORK FOR 2HRS )
4.) SUPPORT FROM LINUX COMMUNITY? they called me a "stupid ass f@#k" for not knowing how to use the console to install an rpm
5.) CRAPPY WEB BROWSER
6.) WINE BLOWS CHUNKS
7.) EARLIER DISTRO (SLACKWARE 9.0) CRASHED AND SCREWED UP THE KERNEL AND WOULDNT BOOT UP

theres more but ive just downloaded Cowboy Bebop and wanna watch it. hope its good

id really appreciate your comments please.




WINDOWS FOREVER

Maybe you should try Linux RedHat. Linux is much better then Windows, its faster, more options, better programs. You need to learn how to use it before you install it.

[super_science_monkey]

yea tthe more options part is true but do i really need all of them?
all i do is email, internet, music, games, the basic stuff.

one other reason Lunix is free&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

I heard everything on Linux is free. But then if thats true, it doesn&#39;t have good games. (Vice city, Enter the matrix, etc.)

[super_science_monkey]

ok free isnt always better though.
Anyways almost every commerical software i have is pirated. Winxp, officexp, photoshop, halflife,ghost recon,etc
ive got a crap load

It has about 25 games that come installed with Linux, pretty much all of them are good. And if you want these ese files to work on Linux all you got to do is download and install WinE.

lol i loved that bubbles game

monkey...obviously you arent aware about slightest hinits of the benefits of linux. the only downside to linux is using kazaa on it (the only thing my windoze box does).

anyone ever hear of wine? (and it doesnt blow chunks)

wise up and stop the penguin hate children...

also red hat is veryyyyyyy similar to the other distribution having just slightly skewed code (if it even qualifies for that).

[super_science_monkey]

i tried wine.i followed the instructions exactly but it didnt work.
maybe wrong version?
i think it was wine-20030508-i586.rpm
