    • Rub3X, on 10/19/2007, -150/+17Well, this further proves my point ubuntu users are all 12 year olds that think they are elite because they use "linux". First of all it's stickers. Last time I got excited with stickers was when my mom was hanging my art work on the fridge in 1st grade. Wow.
    • mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -20/+56@rub3x

      I prefer Gentoo myself, but at least these "12 years olds who think theyre eliete" have taken the step towards linux (and hence away from windows). Plus, I have always wanted to make a linux sticker to stick it to those "Designed for Windows XX" Stickers we always get (which is the first thing I remove from a laptop when i tough it - even when its not mine).

      Someone with the resources should set up a site to sell high-quality (metallic like the xp ones) "Powered By Xxxxxxxx Linux" stickers, even if they sell them. I would sure as hell buy a few Gentoo ones ;-)
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -59/+11@mfratt
      Gentoo here to, stage 1. I'd like a sticker for gentoo, or linux in general. Why do the 12 year olds need to be away from Windows? What's wrong with Windows?

      My impersonation of you:
      Look at me! I'm scared of something different! If i have to write one line of code ill wet myself wah wah wah.
      End impersonation

      The people who use ubuntu or any Linux distro (including myself) don't use it so they can say they use Linux, they use it as an OS.
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -75/+5You have a right to speak when your distro comes with a compiler, *****.
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -65/+2Btw it doesn't appear you know what gentoo actually is. So even bothering to respond to you was a waste of time seeing as how you are a complete idiot, and don't realize the amount of effort a gentoo install takes. Ahh well you use ubtuntu can't expect much heh.
      • bbqsalad, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1yeah blah blah blah your cool. HEH BTW MEH. Your a ***** retard.
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -4/+61So if I run Gentoo on my servers and Ubuntu on my laptop and desktop does that make me a 12 year old? Some people like to use what works best for the task at hand, not what's hardcore or cool to install or whatever the ***** makes you think only 12 year olds use Ubuntu. I got a work laptop with WinXP and wanted to dual boot Linux. I could have gone the Gentoo route, but I'd have to configure everything myself. I installed Ubuntu in 20 minutes, svn checkout'd my configs and was felling "at home" in an hour, using Linux that same night. I love Gentoo, but sometimes I don't want to configure the wlan, X, function keys (like volume, etc), and whatever else myself. And that makes me 12? You're a Gentoo snob.

      Under the hood, Linux is Linux and if you give me a slack, gentoo, ubuntu, debian, fedora, whatever distro chances are I can feel at home within a week, learning whichever package manager they use and the basics of the FS layout.
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -34/+2Ok that's fine, I'm generalizing I guess. Most ubuntu fan boys are complete idiots as ice cream has demonstrated. I recently got a laptop and wanted a dual boot also. WinXP + Gentoo. I can tell you configuring it for ~12 hours is well worth the work. Gentoo is a superior distro in many ways. http://tinyurl.com/nctle and you can't deny that setup isn't worth the time. If you have a dell laptop you might be internested in switching to gentoo it's not that bad. I've saved my make.conf xorg.conf .config and gave good links on how to get you started. http://tinyurl.com/moxg5

    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9A laptop I'm using for only 2 months with a 1.4Ghz processor and 512M memory isn't my ideal Gentoo box, and I wouldn't go stage 1 on it so it wouldn't quite take 12 hours.

      On my 2x Opteron at home Gentoo is great, but in this case it's just not worth X hours of my time to install Gentoo. I have important Digg-reading to do! ;-)

      And I'd love to hear one or two of these reasons why Gentoo is so superior on a _desktop_. (on a server, Gentoo owns hands down)
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -36/+1When you install Gentoo it has nothing but needed files. You install what you want when you want. Nothing is shoved down your throat, like ububtu. It only has gnome. Requires 3 gigs of disk space to run. Gentoo's install is like 1.87 with X. It's not as fast as gentoo. It's designed for a single user and not multi users. Where is the firewall on ububtu? It's just not meant for advanced users period. I don't even think it's good to start off because it teaches you nothing about linux or how to trouble shoot problems.
    • Amnesia10, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17And what if you do not live in the US? We can't get US stamps to stick on our envelope!
    • h1web, on 10/12/2007, -15/+5yo yo yo stage1 kicking in. i mastered reading the documentation and i use gentoo, im elite. also everything is way faster now, because i spent 3 days compiling the packages i want.
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -5/+47*sigh* ...

      "When you install Gentoo it has nothing but needed files. You install what you want when you want." -- When you install Gentoo, you have to choose your cron and syslog daemon. I don't care to do things like that when I just want to USE the machine. That could also read "you install things you require, even when you don't want to have to install them"

      "Requires 3 gigs of disk space to run. Gentoo's install is like 1.87 with X." -- I have a 60G disk and I don't care about 1gig.

      "It's not as fast as gentoo." -- *****. It doesn't boot as fast, but it runs programs as fast. www.funroll-loops.org much?

      "It's designed for a single user and not multi users." -- care to explain that? I'm a single user anyway, but I have a "switch user" option.

      "Where is the firewall on ububtu?" -- same place as every linux distro, modprobe iptables.

      "It's just not meant for advanced users period." -- more elitist gentoo crap. you're the type of gentoo user that give us a bad name because you think gentoo is so 1337. You're saying the underlying debain system isn't good enough for "advanced" users? absolute and utter *****.

      "I don't even think it's good to start off because it teaches you nothing about linux or how to trouble shoot problems." -- A decent point, but the curious will learn regardless of their distro. That said, I am glad I chose Gentoo as my first distro because I did learn a lot using it. I imagine some Ubuntu users just want to use, and not learn. That's ok too. You make it sound like average-joe users are a bad thing. The world isn't only geeks, and Linux doesn't only have to be for geeks.

      (Sorry, I'm done feeding the troll now. People on the Gentoo mail lists are nice, unlike this guy. Don't think we're all a bunch of pricks!)
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -27/+2Ok iptables? This is a noob distro ready out of the box I thought. Configuring iptables requires a TONS of man page reading. (If ububtu users know what the command "man" does) You admitted it boots faster. If everything compiles for your specific processor, it's going to run faster. You have no comment on it only having one desktop. It's not meant for mutliple users because there is no root account as far as I know and all users have sudo. And I have no problem with Debian FYI.

    • micro506, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Rub3X,

      please don't rave about Gentoo like that. It gives the rest of us Gentoo lovers bad names. By the way, if anybody wants to print out a Gentoo (or other distribution) sticker, check this out: http://flickr.com/photos/ldalittleboss/sets/72057594074057899/
    • sauceyman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8@nofxjunkee

      I totally agree. The Gentoo community is a Very good one. A couple of years ago we converted all of our servers to Gentoo from Red Hat (it was a little too bloated for what we needed). As the graphic design dude, I didn't know much about linux at the time, but as we were a small company everyone was having to share time "helping".

      So, I pieced together a frankenstein machine out of spare parts in my office and began my journey by jumping feet first into the gentoo documentation. Man, it was a new world and I'll admit it took me a week to get my first machine up and running, but I learned A Lot in a short amount of time about the innards and workings. Anytime I stumbled, a quick search through their Wonderful forums allowed me to continue.

      Many installs later, I'm very comfortable with the process. But that being said, I recently put Kubuntu on an old powerbook... for S*%^s abd Guggles. I love it. In an hour I was up an running and had a speedy new laptop. Sometimes you just want something that you can work with quickly and not have to compile Everything from source.

      I'm really amazed at the *nix community at times. It's like we are back in high school and everyone has their click. Can't we just all get along? :)
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -20/+2Yes we can. But just look at icrcream's comment. He attempted to flame me for sticking up for windows. He starts out with "I am afraid of typing one line of code" Ok well I wasn't aware to run linux you needed to know how to program. I guess he means control an OS via command line. He's like the perfect example of what I mean when ubuntu fan boys are out of control. He thinks he's leet cause he uses linux, and he's flaming Windows and it's users. He has no clue that Gentoo is linux and that I type "a lot more code" than he does. I think ububtu is decent if you need a quick setup, or even their live cd. It's their users I dislike...well a lot of them. Mostly icecream type people =S.

    • powatom, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Look, I'm sorry, but all this 'omg Ubuntu usors r s0 l4m3' crap has to stop. I'm by no means a linux expert in any way shape or form. I know my way around the filesystem, and I'm pretty confident when configuring my system/hardware/whatever. That being said, there are often times when I need some help. Occasionally, a man page is just zero help at all, or I have no clue where to begin looking for an answer to my problem. This is where the community steps in. The Ubuntu community is by far the most friendly and helpful linux community I've ever come across. People there recognise that many Ubuntu users are complete linux newbies, and so instructions on how to get something done are very concise. At the same time, even though Ubuntu sets up a bunch of crap you don't need, it doesn't stop you from changing EVERYTHING to suit your needs. I'm not a big fan of nautilus, I'll admit it. I'm much more comfortable doing everything via the terminal rather than some generally useless piece of eye-candy, and I'd rather Ubuntu gave you the option of installing something like Fluxbox instead, but if I don't like it, I can get rid and put whatever the hell I like on instead.

      As for there being no root account. So what? Sudo is a perfectly acceptable way to administrate your system, and if you don't like it, you can just make a root account anyway. That point really isn't a point at all. It's just different from having a root account. If you don't like it, don't use it.

      So there you go, Ubuntu is newb-friendly, sure, and some of it's default stuff is totally needless, but if you're such a linux wizard, you should be able to realise that you can edit it to suit your needs with just a few commands in the terminal.
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -20/+3Ubuntu most likely has 1000 things compiled into the kernel as well as 10000 modules which makes booting S L O W, and the overall preformance drop. Isn't the ext3 file system compiled as a module, and not directly into the kernel? Seems a little half assed. As for your community comment. Freenode #Gentoo 925 total. Freenode #Ubuntu 820. Both large, but #Gentoo has a ton of knowledgeable people ALWAYS willing to assist you. When asking questions you'll never here "RTFM" or anything like that. It's an equally friendly community.
    • powatom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Sure, but you can compile your own kernel and have whatever the hell you like. My point is, the vast, vast majority of anti-Ubuntu remarks are based along the lines of 'well is leeter because of '. Yes, we know, Ubuntu has TONS of unnecessary crap. This unnecessary crap is, however, the reason Ubuntu works so well out of the box. Why start from the ground up and have a long struggle finding out how to get write support for a damn USB stick, when you can start with everything you need and then just get rid of all the superfluous crap whenever you feel like?

      I have never been told to RTFM by any linux user, only windows users (who, I suspect, don't actually know how to solve whatever problem it is anyway), I was actually talking about attitude. There's no denying that the majority of the linux community is very helpful, but when a brand new linux user turns up with a problem, they get hit by a massive stream of terminal commands and references to obscure files that they have absolutely no clue about. What I meant (and I admit it doesn't look like that in my other comment), is that the Ubuntu community is generally prepared to walk a newbie through every step, explaining the commands in a more useful and 'user-friendly' way, and explaining what all the mysterious system files are. I didn't mean to say that other linux communities are hostile, just that they're less concise when explaining stuff to newbies.

      As for the IRC channel. Well, if you can make any sense out of 50 simultaneous conversations, then my hate gets tipped to you sir :P
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1Lol with IRC everyone says your nick before they help you and your client highlights your nick it's not that hard. Obviously Gentoo has forums also but I've never used them. And there is no need to sift through data to get anything done. Everything is well documented. The hand book is very, very thorough. And when that doesn't help there is Gentoo-Wiki which has step by step instructions to install almost anything you could want.
    • mdshort, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Anyone who does a stage 1 install on gentoo doesn't understand how to use it properly (gentoo).

      There is absolutely NO reason to do a stage1 install. You can achieve the same amount of optimization, with only half of the compilation problems and half the time in all. What you need to do is use a stage 3, recompile the toolkit, and then rebuild world instead of bootstrapping with the wrong version of GCC (as in a stage 1 bootstrap), and then building 'system' with a toolkit compiled with the wrong version of GCC.

      Because when you use a stage 3, you already have a functional toolkit and a stable system, all you have to do is recompile your toolkit, then recompile world (so that you have your toolkit rebuilt with the latest version of GCC and flags building the rest of your operating system). See the conrad building instructions http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-480002-highlight-conrad.html (complete with a livecd for reiser4 and entertainment while you wait for your system to build).
    • xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I like Ubuntu because it's the closest distro I've seen to something a non-technical person might actually use instead of Windows. People that use Linux generally talk about getting other people to use it yet a distro comes along that does spark interest in Windows users and the "12 years old (Linux) users who think theyre eliete" bash it for some idiotic reason.

      Spelling mistakes left intact.
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -17/+1I never made that spelling error dip *****..and the person who did was mocking me. Thanks for further proving my point ***** stick.

    • psylence, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Rub3x is seriously blowing my mind here. He repeats Gentoo > Ubuntu *and* backs Windows? I was unaware such a creature could exist.

      From a Gentoo user for 1.5yr from 2004.0, I rarely miss it. Moving to Ubuntu has made using Linux... Well, USING Linux. With Gentoo, to keep up to date with the latest hotness (especially Gnome and KDE releases, always MONTHS to get stabilized in Gentoo), you get to muck with your packages.{use,keywords,unmask} and hope you don't break anything. Awesome, I really felt like *working* to get this software working.

      With Ubuntu, typical apps: debs. New Gnome? New Ubuntu release, just apt-get dist-upgrade, wait 5 minutes, reboot.

      Some people see it as fun to have to maintain internals to a degree, more power to them. Ubuntu is just Debian+ with some polish. That's _all_. Should Gentoo prove to become a little more agile with package stabilization, I may even go back, but that's not likely.
    • psylence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4v4m21: That's where I got my set. They came in the envelope w/the shipits for dapper.
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Windows is a fine operating system, as is Gentoo. Now it's against the rules to like more than one OS? Well I make the rules, bitch and it isn't.
    • psylence, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Rub3x: I respect you as a troll, but weep for you as a Linux advocate.
    • devoinregress, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4A lot of people go to Ubuntu because of the large and helpful user base. It is the a great Linux for the average user.
      If you enjoy customizing your whole OS more power to you but their is an effort for mainstream Linux and Ubuntu is doing wonderful things towards that.
    • djjoemex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I see Ubuntu as the next most used OS in goverment's agencies, public organisms, in developed countries.As a free OS gives an alternative to reduce Information Technology costs. Many people (like 85%) just need an Internet Connection (Firefox), http://www.mozilla.com/firefox a Office Suite (Open Office), http://www.openoffice.org and a PDF reader (Foxit). http://www.foxitsoftware.com

      I think lawyers, physicians, and thousands of other professionals just need this applications to have a good life with computer.

      Ubuntu makes this applications work, and also has a strong security in the network (good firewall, it has an automatic update feature for security bugs, and you can use a very nice free antivirus like Clam Antivirus http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamav

      With this alternatives, developing countries can reduce software costs to 0. They only need AMD parthners to buy desktop hardware. This is not a good news for Microsoft, but at least they can still have the home desktop PC market.
    • Derrekito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@rub3x

      Not everyone who uses Ubuntu are newbies. I used Slackware for quite some time, however, I simply grew tired of constantly managing my machine and tried out Ubuntu and fell in love with it. If I were running a server I probably would use Slackware however, Ubuntu is a great Desktop OS. I'm tired of hearing these annoying flames toward Linux. Is it simply fear caused by ignorance? I've used everything from Windows 3.1 to Xp, many different versions of the Mac, I've used BSD, and even played on a Solaris machine. I have used just about every major distro out there. I have never seen an OS grow as quickly as Ubuntu. rub3x, I wouldn't be suprised if your knowledge of Linux isn't past a boot disk.
    • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1"Many people (like 85%) just need an Internet Connection (Firefox)"

      Zomg firefox has their own ISP!?!?!?! Since when!? Another idiot ubuntu user. What's that 4-5 in this comment section?

      "Rub3x: I respect you as a troll, but weep for you as a Linux advocate."

      Heh thanks, I am slightly amazed at how many people I've pissed off, and how many people are STILL trying to convince me that ubuntu is worth a *****. I'm not hard core Gentoo but that is what seems to piss most people here off =)
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Sorry, I can't resist pointing out this guy's terrible arguments.

      "Ubuntu most likely has 1000 things compiled into the kernel as well as 10000 modules which makes booting S L O W, and the overall preformance drop."

      No, they're compiled as modules and loaded _as needed_. Booting is slower because it starts more services than you need, that much is true. But if you're such a speed daemon you can disable unnecessary services. Overall performance does NOT drop. You have no clue wtf you're talking about, admit it. You know enough to spew some BS you read here, but you're not talking from real experience or knowledge. That much is crystal clear.
    • sman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think Rub3X gets the-most-modded-down-comments-in-one-thread award. Especially under an article about stickers. Gimmie a break.

      Anyway, I have been using Linux since the very early slackware days. Still, I use Ubuntu on my all workstations and laptops. Gentoo is installed on all the servers. Since I have a real life and a real job, I don't have time to spend endless hours compiling and configuring my desktop operating systems. Ubuntu is very easy to install and I don't see why that is a bad thing. I also don't see any problems with it being noob oriented. The beauty of Linux is that if you are an advanced user, you can dig deep, optimize, and customize whatever you want regardless of what distribution you choose. Ubuntu can be as easy and as complicated as you want.
    • AICkieran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"If everything compiles for your specific processor, it's going to run faster."
      Valid point, but what about the install time? And do you really think the average user wants to compile everything from source?

      "You have no comment on it only having one desktop."
      Eh, i run flux, You can install whatever you want, you should know this being oh so 1337

      "It's not meant for multiple users because there is no root account as far as I know and all users have sudo." sudo passwd root? Its disabled by default so people wont run as root all the time.

      "Ubuntu most likely has 1000 things compiled into the kernel as well as 10000 modules which makes booting S L O W, and the overall preformance drop. Isn't the ext3 file system compiled as a module, and not directly into the kernel?" The only people bothered about this are the people that actually know about it, In which case they compile their own kernel.

      "he thinks he's leet cause he uses linux, and he's flaming Windows and it's users"
      Much like you think you're leet 'cause you use gentoo and flame users of other distro's?

      "Freenode #Gentoo 925 total. Freenode #Ubuntu 820. Both large, but #Gentoo has a ton of knowledgeable people ALWAYS willing to assist you. When asking questions you'll never here "RTFM" or anything like that. It's an equally friendly community."
      That's the biggest load of ***** i have ever heard, Gentoo is good for throwing people in at the deep end so to speak, Learn alot from it, but the soul reason ill never recommend it to anyone is elitist wankers like you spouting off *****.

      Linux is linux, IMO its about the principals of free software, not what distro you use, But i guess people like you don't give a ***** about that you just want to look good by saying you use gentoo.

      Please sir, Crawl back under your rock and never come out.

    • rickcarson, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4"Don't you hate it when people buy from eMachines and Dell?"

      Absolutely. Damn stuck up Dellists lording it over the rest over us because they can afford a 'cool' machine from Dell, with their high interest rates, and premium pricing... when the rest of us who are on a budget have to buy a cheaper computer.

      Even worse are those threads in the last couple of days where they keep claiming that the Dell's *aren't really* more expensive when you consider all that comes with it. These people are in lalala land, as Dell's use exactly the same components as any other manufacturer! Same components + higher price tag = more expensive! What is not to understand?

      Stuck up gits.

    • kodek, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33No. Your card is literally being powered by Ubuntu. If you don't use Ubuntu, not enough power gets to it.

    • motang, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Really, I though it would be the other way around, considering the fact that the drivers are made specifically for Windows.
    • tehmoth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It probably is exactly the same driver as the one for windows (blob, ndiswrapper, etc), perhaps its the networking stack that is at fault.
    • dustinhoffman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'm willing to guess it has something to do with Ubuntu's lack of ACPI for most laptops out of the box. The windows XP install is probably reducing the power given to the card... while Ubuntu is giving it all the bus has got... kinda nice...

    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6# userdel -r tehpoutine

      Solaris is fine, FreeBSD is nice. Haven't used NetBSD, used to run an OpenBSD router. What the ***** is wrong with using the unix-like OS that we want? Some things are better on Linux/GNU, like being able to list command line options after the arguments (ls blah/ -lF), and I think that pf is better than iptables. I'd love to try out ZFS on Solaris, but haven't yet. The point is these systems are all different and peope may just prefer Linux to whatever flavour of unix you happen to like. So unless you're not going to be a bigot about which one YOU prefer, ***** off.
    • tehmoth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@MSIGuy: Linux systems are distributions because they contain a diverse set of software and a Linux kernel of some lineage. *Solaris, *BSD, *Darwin are operating systems as they ship the kernel and userland and generally keep them synced.
      @nofxjunkee: command line options after the arguments is non-standard and not a habit to acquire if you use more than just he gnu *-utils. vi or emacs style command line editing works fine if you forget to put the options in before the arguments.
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I know about command arg order trouble on non-gnu userland systems. I use a Mac frequently. I'm quite good at the "C-a Esc-f [type flags]" routine, but it's unnecessary. I advocate using the standard order, especially in instructions and scripts, but when you're typing and you remember the -d after you've typed "ls *path*", being able to just type it is handy, and intelligent of the software. Never force the human to say something explicitly what the computer can deduce the same thing.

    • mitrovarr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I can't blame them for including them. It would suck pretty bad for someone who wanted to dual-boot later if they were missing.

      Besides, those keys work fine in linux, although implementation varies between distributions and usually you have to set them to do something useful yourself.
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I don't think we'll see the penguin key any time soon (maybe on a keyboard, laptop less likely) but IF I ever did see one, I think I would have to buy it.

      Why not? On a normal keyboard, exchanging a key is easy. On a laptop, well that depends. But the manufacturers could easily produce Linux-keys and pack them with the keyboard package.

      Alternatively, get an Optimus keyboard ;)

    • simd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've already used Linux for many years on a server platform, but struggled to make it work effectively for my desktop needs, so I stuck with Windows.

      "I personally think Windows users would feel more at home with something like Linspire/Freespire or Xandros."

      I used Linspire - not bad but it failed to recognise some hardware and I simply don't have the time to spend hours finding solutions....

      I was recently handed an Ubuntu CD by a friend. I was amazed at the ease of install (as another poster said - easier than XP). Everything on my laptop just worked, even though I use my laptop in different configurations in different locations. Installing new applications was a breeze.

      It's much faster than Windows, very efficient and intuitive and I can get to work without spending hours configuring and compiling. I'm happy to tweak when I have time, and Ubuntu lets me do that. But above all I've work to do and clients to serve and Ubuntu has let me do it.

      There are many distributions, and they all have strengths and weaknesses - it's the joy of Linux.

      Ubuntu appears to be the ultimate for those who want a desktop that works out of the box and as such deserves to be promoted to the general population who have that exact need.

  • TeqnoHaxor, on 10/12/2007, -16/+11Ubuntu - An ancient african word meaning "can't install debian"
    • arizonagroove, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Yeah, a Linux distro that aims for user friendliness is a bad thing. I mean c'mon, look at the install process for Ubuntu, it's easier than Windows XP FFS. There's a bloody GUI and everything. There's not even difficult questions like 'Is your hardware clock set to GMT?'(*) or 'Do you want to install the bootloader in the MBR?'. Linux should be hard to install and use otherwise all sorts of people will end up using it and who wants that?


      (*) Asked by Mandriva install which on asking you the question doesn't show you the current time according to the hardware clock so as not to give you even a small clue as to what the correct answer may be.
    • kafka47, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I so agree with arizonagroove. Why is there a distinct anti-Ubuntu sentiment here when it's clear this distro is attempting (and succeeding) to widen the Linux userbase as a whole? I'd even say that beginners could start at Ubuntu and move on to more advanced distributions when they feel more confidence.

      And this is a bad thing, why? I'm baffled.
    • quickblaine, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1I dont quite get arizonagroove's thinking. surely a distro that not just super einstiens can install, therefore meaning linux is getting more publicity, and closer to the goal of overthrowing microsoft, Is a good thing?
    • Shadowman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1@kafka47
      I think there is a backlash against Ubuntu because of the over-the-top hype it gets. 98% of the front page Linux stories refer to Ubuntu. And now it's not only a distro for beginners it's also a server OS and an Enterprise desktop! And the "Ubuntu is great and everything else sucks" attitude by some doesn't help. I personally think Windows users would feel more at home with something like Linspire/Freespire or Xandros.

    Could someone mail some to me, please?

    Two: A few weeks ago my laptop HDD crashed without hope, so I had to install everything. I thought: hey, now's the best time to try Linux, so thanks to all this "Ubuntu hype", I go to the Ubuntu site, download (isn't this the irony: using the other Windows desktop) - download theUbuntu ISO image, burn it, and pop it in the laptop's (Dell) CD-ROM.

    In 1 week after that I had everything working on my home laptop, I mean with all apps that I needed to do exactly what I was doing before on Windows.

    I am a Windows and Web, developer and a Windows power user, but man, how I'd love to see Linux challenging Windows at the number of users criterion. I am now beginning to explore the programming options, certifications, etc. for Linux.

    All this revolution won't happen over night, but it will happen for sure.

Ubuntu has been excellent allowing me to get Linux up and running fast and is quite able to handle my efforts to tweak and optimize it to hardware. I'm definitely not a free software or ubuntu zealot but I'm impressed that ubuntu runs and operates on the whole. I really don't have a problem with ubuntu being user-friendly for the noob wanting Linux, but for someone whom knows a little more ubuntu isn't that bad either

      I do hope that Ubuntu becomes the pre-eminent Linux desktop platform. Not because I want to see any other distributions die, but because I want there to be a well supported alternative to Windows for the masses. At the moment, for people who just want their operating system to work, there's a confusing array of alternatives. This thread epitomises it. I don't mind if other distributions do well - let's start being positive about our favourite distributions WITHOUT knocking other distributions. That way the public face of Linux will be positive - not just a group of geeks arguing about compilation techniques.

  • McShaken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Installed Ubuntu last week and set my PC up with an XP/Ubuntu dual boot. Other than an issue with my Nvida card, things are very smooth on Ubuntu. I love the endless tinkering that can be done with the OS. If I wasn't a gamer, XP would be gone by now.
  • patc6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I am 31 and I freakin love stickers!
  • HsoKinees, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2lol.. nice.. I was shocked when I got a pack of 4 Ubuntu stickers with my bundle of Ubuntu 6.06 cds :D have got around to using them yet.. i'll probably use one to cover the "COMPAQ" logo on my monitor and another to cover the "TCO ECOLOGY ENERGY EMISSIONS ERGNOMICS" sticker... or I could just peel that off right now :D

    "It's not as fast as gentoo." -- *****. It doesn't boot as fast, but it runs programs as fast. www.funroll-loops.org much?


    My ribs are still hurting from all of the laughing I did after reading that site. Loooooooooool.
  • graddatadda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1just curious...will gentoo run photoshop and illustrator?
    • paulgreber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You could go about running Photoshop a bunch of ways. Either by running it through wine or running a virtual machine with VMPlayer.

      I remember seeing something about a photoshop clone too ( not gimp ).
  • vonskippy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Nothing like seeing a bunch of whinny little brats, fight over their little bitty stickers.

    Do you have a sticker book, or do you just paste them all over your toy box???
  • siuyee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Huh, I didn't expect so many people will be digging this story when I submitted it. I doubt I will be getting any stickers soon. :)
  • garrettgjb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Envelope sent. :)
  • tropican8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0micro506: your post was way up there so I couldn't reply, but those generic "Powered by Linux" sticker images are awesome.

    What kind of sticker paper would you use to print them out? I don't think I've seen the type they use for the OEM stickers in supply stores.
  • GusTurbo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I wish that it didn't have such a lame name.
  • Rub3X, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Erm...
    • seppevs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just wanted to tell you that I'm a 23 year old Ubuntu user who has actively used Gentoo for more than 2 years. Gentoo (and especially Portage) is nice, but after a while you'll get enough of all the compiling. Since I have always loved Debian, Ubuntu is a winner for me.
  • AaronMT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Snail mail?

    Darn.
  • colemip, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Everyone who's made a comment on this subject is a total 'tard. I'm getting some free stickers and I'm happy. :)

  • dsn0wman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I am not sure if I remember how to use stamps or envelopes. I think I'll just wait for version 2.0 snail mail. I heard it has more point and click features.
  • nucleocide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1IMO Ubuntu is the easiest version of linux in the sense that someone not knowing anything about linux but knowing enough about windows can use it. Personally I find that Slackware suits my needs. Ubuntu is the perfect baby step for introducing linux to your friends. It may be linux used in a way that most linux fanboys (myself included) don't agree with but hell we're all fighting the same war aren't we?
  • TeqnoHaxor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@nacs

    Ubuntu is Debian, with a new coat of paint and Gnome as default. They've also taken the liberty of removing GCC and putting the user in a sandbox (sudo anyone?)

    Why does everyone want Linux to become a mainstream operating system anyway? Has anyone actually sat down and thought about the implications of this. Would Linux still be 'cool' if your parents, and your school, were using it ?
    • paulgreber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Would Linux still be 'cool' if your parents, and your school, were using it ?"
      Oh Hell Yes!

      I don't care about any sort of cool factor associated with Linux. I don't care about being considered less l33t because my mom and dad are using the same OS that I am.

      I think it would be way cool if OpenSource software got picked up by the mainstream, there would be even more development for it then. We could see better support from developers and manufacturers.
    • TH3W1R3D, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I dont care if its cool or not I use it cause its FREE and works well.
  • swape, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I was searchin google for ubuntu logo and Ifound this.
