Typical LinoNazi behavior. Shoot the messenger instead of discussing
the topic.
Looks like we have a left end nut here.
Does Linux attract a lot of homosexuals? Wouldn't surprise me in the
least. They both suck...

Looks like the dressing room at bloomies is a no go this week.
What a sick minded bunch.

The previous post is by "Steve/keymaster" the homophobic
fundamentalist.
Steve, you said you were going to go away. You post under
one name and describe how various Linux distros install
and work well, and you post under others and say they don't.
Your cover's blown. Go do something besides throwing trash
around here.
Have some fun -- play with your pickle.

The list of pro-Microsoft/anti-Linux propaganda spammers oper-
ating in comp.os.linux.advocacy, present and past (including
multiple fake names probably used by the same person). Some
of them post at a rate of nearly 500 articles per month, each:
"Drestin Black", Chad Myers, Stephen Edwards, Jeff Szarka,

Is Microsoft behind most of this high-volume pro-Microsoft/
anti-Linux propaganda barrage? They've done similar things
in the past:

Subject: Re: Linux smp kernel UNSTABLE?
Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 10:40:02 +0900
Thanks for everyone.
Taking a clue from one comment, I restored my CPU clock
to the original, which was overclocked from 550MHz to 616MHz.
Then my program ran well on dual CPU and SMP kernel.
What I use is a Iwill DBD100 (dual) motherboard, two Pentium III (550MHz),
IBM 15GB Hard Disk, Matrox G-200 video, generic LAN card,
CD-ROM, floppy, and nothing else.
The strange thing is that everything except for my Fortran program is OK
on SMP kernel, even a couple of test parallel programs from a compiler
vendor (PGI).
My sources were tested in Win98/DVF5.0 and I tried three different
compilers and different versions
of Linux SMP kernels.
Of course, I do not have resources to try more than one dual-motherboard.
Thanks again.

Benchmarks?
Where are they? Not some stupid German Linux magazine that nobody
reads, but some verafiable benchmarks? Any out there?
Total support for current hardware?
Not half assed we can make it work support but real support?
DVD, Scanners, Printers (not Flintstone models or Po$tcript$ models).
Multimedia?
Non-existant unless RealPlayer "insert 3 versions ago player here"
counts.
So IBM is behind Linux? Of course they are. They are asking their
employees to tie rubber bands back together while the executives get
rich. A no cost OS is exactly what the rich pig execs want.
Try http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/ibmunion
or
http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/ibmpension
to find out how happy IBM folks are these days.
While the press rumbles with major vendors supporting Linux, the truth
is that the support is skin deep if that. Try calling tech support and
mentioning Linux and see how far you get.
Hint: Listen for laughing while you get put on hold.
Compare feature for feature with the Windows version and see how they
compare.
Problem is you Linux Nuts are so used to using inferior software that
requires an MSEE to operate that you don't know the difference.
Pathetic is the answer.
Linux is a pure scam brought forth by the folks at the major Linux
vendors in order to boost the IPO so that a select few could get rich.
When Linux dies a dismal death, and it will very soon, they will still
be driving their Vett's and you will still be using an operating system
hacked together by a bunch of nuts who report to no one.
When the virii code appears in all of the back doors that will be or
have been inserted in linux you will pay the price.
Good Luck
