Blast Hardcheese > I don't use Linux. My work machine is XP, my home desktop machine is XP and my laptop is Vista. My old laptop had a variety of Linux releases on it but I wouldn't consider myself a "zealot" as you so aptly put it.

Sure, you can hate the militant community stereotype but you've entirely missed the point. The operating system is difficult to villify; you're just displacing your annoyances about the poorly perceived "average" user.

This article is so unbelievably stupid that is must have been written by the one thing everyone should hate about Linux, the zealot.

Linux has villains, they are the zealots. How are they evil? Immature and jealous over Windows market share, they troll around every corner of the Internet spamming, lying, deceiving, and belittling anyone who isn't using the same superior operating system they are. The marketing campaign? Simple. You are told that you aren't free. That the only way to have freedom is to use Linux. Free software is moral, proprietary software is evil. It's worse than marketing. It's a cult like following that is devoted to destroying Microsoft.

You can't hate Linux? Your, sir, are dead wrong. You only wrote this article, because like so many zealots, you need constant reassurance that your lifestyle choice was a good one. I hate Linux not just for it's technical inadequacies, but for the legions of fools who swear their alliance to it.

I love linux and its philosophies, I also have no trouble installing suse, but its incomatability, along with being more user-friendly, we need it to be compatible with software people use, openoffice is good, and so is the gimp, but face it, people dont care about philosophies, they dont care about how evil and unstable microsoft is, they care about it working, they care about the programs they can run, and they care about support, I bet half of microsoft users dont even know what a forum is, let alone how to navigate and find info from it. this is why linux will never take over. On the bright side, linux is helping developing 3rd world countries, and without money... Take that Bill Gates!

to One reason

Fedora’s release is on one DVD. The others must have been added by the magazine and Fedora doesn’t know about them. They are probably RPMs meant for manual installation, using the rpm command. Not a single Linux installation has failed on my computer, but it definitely happens sometimes.

I like Fedora, but I couldn’t say it’s the easiest distro to handle. But that’s not always the most important thing either.. It’s cutting-edge and has a great community with great developers.

I can think of one reason. I can be really difficult (at least compared with Windows) to set up.

Don’t get me wrong, I really love Linux and the software and the philosophies and ideals associated with it. Its now getting more and more user friendly as well. And I do hate Windows (more because of the fact that functionality comes second place to making profits which leads to badly designed and bloated software...rather than hating Bill Gates).

I recently decided to make the switch to using it as my main operating system. I bought a copy of a magazine which claimed to have everything I need to help set up Fedora Core 6, including 5 DVDs of software, with the issue of the magazine devoted to it. I’ve have been working in the IT industry for 12 years now, and began programming when I was 8 (now 34).

However after the initial setup program ran, I found that certain aspects of open office were missing, Apache and MySQL weren’t functioning and all manner of other bits and pieces. The Add/Remove Software indicated a lot of software which could be added, but rather than looking for it on the 5D DVDs (which I also copied to the hard drive to make it easier), it looked to download the software from the internet every time.

The 5 DVDs contained many files to install with cryptic names, but there was no documentation on what file contained what software or notes on other related installation instructions.

If an experienced IT person with a moderate Linux and strong Unix background had trouble, how is the average lay person supposed to cope.

Many of the websites about Linux offer lots of advanced troubleshooting but the basic solutions are hard to find amongst the forums and websites, and most of those that covered my problems didnt work because the configuration they indicated wasnt really helpful.

Many others i know who have tried have had similar complications.

Linux needs to be made more user friendly to configure before it can really grab a significant share of the market from Microsoft, as well as people to change the general perceptions for the broader community. I’d love to see it happen since Linux OS and software are so much better than the MS equivalents in most cases.
