I have seen for about 2 days now the thread about Linux is not ready for the desktop and I feel that I need to say a few off topic words. Clearly it appears that this thread was troll bait. I'm sure that this one will get a few as well but it is not intended to be. So here goes <RANT MODE ACTIVATE> Alot of people are from what it looks like to me whinning about how Linux is not like Windows. Well it isn't and even though it might get the look and feel similar to windows. I genuinely wonder if some people on this list have the ambition to learn something new. It seems that they don't. All I hear about is how Windows is better or Windows can do this and Windows can do that. If Windows works for you then stay with windows and thank you for trying Linux! Have a good day! I will admit that there are things that Windows can do that Linux does not have the functionality to do right now. Like play a few games that I cannot get to work under Wine/WineX. But there will come a time that I will be able to run them under Linux so in the mean time, I go about my life with the two on my same HDD. Please all that I am trying to say is here is that you need to recognize the differences and learn them. Like Yoda said in the Empire Strikes Back movie I qoute "You must unlearned what you have learned" also "No! Do or do not. Ther is no try." When you take the approach of ok I will learn some of the differences and work with them, you might be a little happier in the long run. Linux seems to work for me and that is great. If MS works for you that is fine too. Just please quit with the belly aching. If it is that hard, please ask for help besides whining that it doesn't work but it works under Windows. If the list is too slow, Call in for paid support. There are options to try and help you with your issue. I do wish to offend but I (personally) have had enough of this and we need to focus on helping out people with Linux problems and finding solutions instead of complaining! <RANT MODE DEACTIVATE> -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
