I've noticed that back in the early 90's with IBM.
Today, that's why I own an IBM... this cheap little machine is doing
great with Solaris.
It's only downfall is the sound... its on board telling me its a SB Pro
while in fact its a Crystal 4232. Alsa.com had a good linux driver that
works for it. Sun does not.
But I find Suns' UNIX and CDE very easy to use. An odd thing I've found
on the drive is a sbpro.config file. Never got around to looking into
it yet.
BTW,... firing a dumbshit doctor is easy! Got a good one now.

I don't know what that is, but I assume it is hardware. We were not
discussing hardware support, we were talking about the availability of
software that does what the home user wants / needs to do. Someone
said that linux could not do a variety of tasks. I pointed out that
everything I can think of that the typical home user wants to do, Linux
has software for. Why suddenly bring in hardware?

I was being sarcastic, as many people ask about the availability of
specific Windows software packages for Linux.
VMware is not something the Joe Home User is going to touch.

Again, it was sarcasm. Besides, the original poster specifically asked
about running programs without emulators or loss of speed.
Try selecting individual programs at install. You can get a useful system
for only about 5 or 6 hundred meg. And Mandrake at least is very good
about letting you know what is a necessary package and what isn't.

So windows cannot run it, a separate programs that the user has to find,
acquire, install, and configure is required? Windows cannot run the mac
stuff out of the box? But people seem to want linux to run apps that are
known to only be available for windows. Bit of a double standard here?

And, yet again, it does not come with Windows, right? The user has to go
and get it, install it, etc. And Windows is supposed to be user-friendly?
Hell, at least with my Mandrake, all this stuff comes standard.
And a lot of people have need of it. Everyone who wants to share files
with someone using a mac. Granted, with the internet that is easier than
in the past. Still, windows users cannot use floppies to share files with
mac users unless the mac user saves to a ms-fat floppy. MS cannot even
innovate the ability to read mac floppies?

Absence of a standard desktop might be more like it. WindowMaker has
never crashed on me. KDE, last I used it, was fairly stable. Not
noticable less stable than my win98j machine at work. YMMV of course.
As for paying for software, let me ask a serious, honest question:
Does anyone think that photoshop is better than the gimp for what 80-90%
of home users do with image manipulation programs? Or rather than better,
maybe i should say, "a better deal" or "worth the price difference".
Seriously, why should a home user pay for a bunch of high-end features
that they will never use when a more-than-adequate substitute is
available for free?
Of course, designers, scientists, accountants, and other specialists have
special needs. They are power users and might be willing to pay a company
that designs the software with the features they need. We are not talking
about these people. They are not Joe Home User.
Have you ever installed any linux software? Kpackage makes it very easy.
Loki's installer is practically the same as many windows installers.
LimeWire, a gnutella program, uses java and the installer is identical on
windows and linux. So where is hard to set up?
Mandrake sets up 3d for you, and does a much better job of it than
windows. Hell, one of the reasons my main box is linux only is because of
all the headaches I got trying to get 3d to work in windows. Two totally
different cards, one new that had major problems (gpf on boot!) and one
with minor problems. Mandrake sets them up fine, and Loki's faq page made
setting up the games a snap. Q3A didn't even need any configuration, it
worked right out of the box.
Not everything on linux is easy, but not everything on windows is either.

The fact remains that they are stealing. Yet, somehow, companies keep
making profits. MS in particular keeps posting record profits. For
something that anyone can copy?
Anyhow, the point is that while some of the great gnu software runs on
windows (the gimp for example), most is not easy to get working on
windows or just hasn't been ported. So companies do not face competition
from gnu software in the windows world. They do in the linux world. Some
of them are selling software to windows users that is not very different
from what linux users get for free (beer and speech). I laugh every time
i see some mp3 player software on sale in the local software shop. Or
some basic paintshop type software. People pay money for that stuff.
The bottom line is that for what most home users do, there is a lot of
gnu software that does the job acceptably well. It may not look or act
the same as similar windows software, but the results are the same.

In the 60 some years I've been on this planet I've heard that phrase
countless times. But, I haven't yet figured out what it is supposed
to mean. I know what the word "YOU" means, it is the word "FUCK"
that leaves me puzzled. It seems to have lost all informational
content. It certainly can't refer to the act of sexual intercourse
between a man and a women who respect and love each other.
Neither would use a word with such a reputation to describe
their moments of communion.
Maybe it refers to an act of violence that a depraved man may
commit on any women in order to feel better about himself and
his situation it life. The same attitude some rednecks harbor
when they refer to those of another culture or race.
Then, perhaps, maybe you are trying to make a romantic
connection and have arrived at your goal too quickly by
suggesting something sexual before a relationship is established.
Some have suggested to me that it indicates a person of a limited
vocabulary and low educational attainment. But, I've house-
parented mentally handicaped and I don't recall any using that
phrase.... while I was around, anyway. And, I've heard PhD's
use the phrase, so education or mental ability doesn't seem to
have anything to do with choosing that phrase in a public forum.
Puzzleing indeed. I have decided that it means as much as the
following phrase:, DIDJKRY UYR, and has indentical informational
content. Similar to other time or space "fillers" used while the
speaker or writer is trying to marshal their thoughts for their next
intelligent output.

Hmm... sadly I am forced to agree with Aaron (may God have mercy on my
soul). HTML is internet-crack and should you have posted in HTML I
would've had to have snuck into your house and doused your computer in
water.
Most ISP-s automatically drop HTML posts anyway so I suppose the point
