i admitt i did jump the gun a lil bit. I hadn't finished reading the full thread. I did show the link to a few well know ppl in the linux community, one was namely guru of the guru repository, and they actually agreed with me that that post was a pile of shit. full of misinformation and just plain lies. You are correct that linux distros are released with major bugs but it is not consistently the same distro each time.
i may be a linux fan boy but i've been using computers to an advanced level from the age of 8 (make of that what you will but believe me that is not lie) i have used everything from dos 6.0 all the way thru to xp and got fed up and enraged with the lack of quality and the basic stupidity and arrogance of the user base, bush is a perfect example. You may call me ignorrant and that is you prerogative but remember that at the end of the day each person is entitled to their own opinion without being flamed and we all also have a right to reply.
