However, I disagree with using the terminal as being a con. Sure, its scary the first few times using it, but after a while, it becomes almost fun. (apt get moo, for instance) I find it the quickest way to get things done, it just requires some patience to learn the commands.
I have been using Kubuntu for about 6 months and even though that in the beginning I was kind of lost on how to do stuff in it, later on I learned where everything was. I think that it took me about 2 to 3 weeks. I love Linux because of the stability and security. The ancient concept that Linux was not user friendly is now over. The Ubuntu distributions are very User-friendly, and you do not need to set up anything for them to work.
The main problem that I have with Linux is making backup copies of DVDs that are copyrights. I have not found yet an application that is able to do this, but everything else, even Limewire (Frostwire), I can use with no problems. The aero interface of Vista cannot compare with Beryl/Compiz. Even though both are pretty similar Beryl runs on almost any computer that has a Video Card of 64mb. Vista’s 3d effects need a sophisticated video card, a very fast CPU, and a lot of RAM.
Grow a brain!
I had to fix somebody’s computer recently because the user said it was slow. When I got there, what did I see? Windows Vista. D’hoh! Fortunately, extremetech had an article about speeding up Vista. However, even with the tune-ups, Vista still ate 512MB RAM at startup along with a 3 minute boot time (on an AMD Athlon X2 with 1GB RAM). PCLinuxOS, Ubuntu, SimplyMEPIS, Debian all had boot times under a minute with slower hardware. Debian + Fluxbox eats up only 110MB at the start. :-)
Now which one is for the Vista user? They all perform well, but I think PCLinuxOS has the edge simply because it has a control center and one nifty Live CD.
Wow, you certainly are an uptight nitwit!

Linux enthusiast.
One crash in three months Paul please, don’t even go there cos u know that Linux will give you a more stable system any time any day (as long as you have ur drivers). I have people who do not overly experiment with their Linux systems who have run it for over eight months with out a single crash... (well at least nothing that ctrl+alt+esc couldn’t solve, and even that is rare.)
This is the paragraph where i go on about the third world countries and there need or lack of need for the internet. But i think we are starting to deviate from the core of the topic.
My conclusion is that Linux rocks!!! Vista Sucks!!! :) other than the fact that it makes a good rhyme, how can free software compete with what i would consider expensive software (considering u have to by all of the useful content separately). It is clear to me that Linux has given a truly viable option that will not cost you much but rather give you knowledge of the true power of a personal computer access or no access to the internet... it kicks the crap out of XP which for productivity-wise for now is superior to Vista.
I am over joyed with the dell decision but i would have been more comfortable if they went with something Kubuntu or PCLinuxOS because KDE is overall superior to GNOME and the ubuntu team really do not give their KDE end much focus. This move will truly boost the Dell sales world wide... I was going to try an IBM after my dell E1505 but now i just might remain on this train for a while longer.
rysiek, even thought you are right about Kompile it will not kompile every thing some actually need you to alter configuration scripts before you start your compilation... its a little trick to do in the GUI sometimes especially when you have to run kwrite in SU mode. In those extremely rare moments truly going under till you hit the term(s) is the more comfortable way.
The first thing I noticed was that it consumed quite a lot of disk space. So I thought I would also get much more applications included, maybe even more then in a typical Linux install which consumes less space. Boy was I wrong. After Vista finishes installing you still have to install many apps just to get a decent environment for work.
Then I checked the resource usage and I was disappointed again. Vista is an unbelievable memory hog. I just started it up and it already has wasted almost all of my 1 GiB of memory.
Driver situation was also terrible. I had to install more drivers in Vista then I have to in Linux, and on top of that there even aren’t any drivers for my scanner and printer.During the five years of development this should be sorted out.
Power consumption of Vista is also higher than in Windows XP or in Linux. On average with Vista my laptop battery lasts about 20 - 30 minutes less.
What’s with all those annoying security and other popups in Vista. Like there is not enough popups in XP, no they had to add many more to Vista.
Oh and there is another important but well hidden defect in Vista. It has DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) integrated right into core. It looks like Vista is more about making RIAA and MPAA happy than it is about making users happy.
I guess the only improved thing in Vista is better handling of wireless networks and the new interface which has finally reached about the same level as you get with Linux and Mac OS. But Beryl in Linux still looks a lot sexier, not to mention it works a lot faster.
All in all I think Vista is just a step backwards compared to XP, and a very expensive one too. It reminds me more of Windows ME and we all know what a disaster this was.
Think you’re being smart? Yes I’m sure an article about comparing Linux distros was written in context to the millions of people in world hunger.
Stop trying to cause conflict in places where it clearly doesn’t belong.
you don’t have to use the terminal to do this now (surprise, surprise!) - just install a compilation tool like Kompile (I don’t know of any Gtk-based counterpart, but surely there is one - or will be in near future), right-click on the source tarball -> kompile, wait a few minutes and usually - you’re done.
W00t - no terminal!
And it is able to uninstall binaries installed that way, too. :)
HTH

the "believe it or not" comment about broadband is barely offensive given the context of the article, most people now presume having a computer = having internet access. i cant imagine anybody seeing this article as relevant to the millions (if not billions) who can barely afford to feed themselves.
linux is making great strides and will continue to over the next few years whether it can take a significant market share is unknown personally i hope that it does, i have been using gentoo for several months now on my laptop and although i still have a few issues i will not be returning to the day to day use of windows.
I have been using Vista since the day it was released and, as I am in the UK, I paid a 100% ripoff, sorry, markup. I’ve been evaluating Linux all along to find a distro for an old laptop and as a dual boot option on a 2 year old PC.
Vista has performed passably well, though I did buy Office 2007 (which I consider excellent) at the same time and I consider it an important part of the upgrade. In 3 months it has only locked solid once.
Ubuntu continues to be a disappointment. The driver situation is a joke. I just tried to use 3 different wireless cards with it and not one worked. Belkin, Linksys, and Netgear. Off brands. No such problems with PCLinuxOS.
Your "believe it or not" comment about broadband is offensive given that there are almost 1 billion people who don’t have enough food to eat every day and hundreds of millions who live on $1 per day, with just enough rice to get by taking up 40% of their income.
