Well now, it appears to me that most replies/comment from the Linux gurus have been along the above lines: that is, comments without substance. How about the following "fact" which the author quotes. It appears to me, from my experience with Linux, that the following paragraph is true: Quote: And don't bother trying to look at the installation read-me notes either. They are just advertisements for the idiots who designed the software and tend to go into great details about the licence agreement, which, as most users tell you, isn't as important as getting the software going. End quote. I don't agree with the 'idiots' dig, but it is true that most ReadMe files contain about what he says.
Let us hear some technical criticism about what the author said. Remember, he did not say it was difficult for a Linux guru; he said it was not for the average user who is used to an easy to install system. Colin
Sincerely, I read the article only until he comments about the time to install both OS. But what the installation of windows do? Nothing comparing SuSE, that install a lot of packages, offices, graphics and more and more. For these is clear to me that the rest of article is not honest. Thadeu
