I'm not trying to be unreasonable but I have worked on linux for well over a
year and Id like to say that linux is greater than windows stability etc.
But I've have enough of the critism that is passed around by the linux
community, whats the matter with you people Bill Gates made a system that is so
easy to use that an idiot could use it and add to it on the fly, and as for
servers all companies that I have been to don't use linux for their servers they
use NT,
When I spend the time and the money which is scarce to download software for
my linux off the Internet and run the installation it never works and what's
more is that in order to get it to work if have know all about programming and
text based linux/Unix if you like, and yet If you don't use this flavor of linux
well too bad now you have have to learn a new flovour so that you get the
feature you like. And 4 months later ...
If you which to compete with windows you have to create a product that has
have builtin server tools that an idiot can use, a graphic frontend that an
idiot can understand, easy software addition that is idiot proof and just
works
No matter what I try to add i always need something else. I have 3
pcs on a network and flavours of linux on they are all unstable worse than
windows ever was.
So if you want to come and watch how when I insert a picture into netscape
composer or office 2000 or even wordperfect eight how it crashes, the program
just disspears off the screen and one has to start all over again.
Star Office is so slow that I could go and have a 3 course meal while it eats
up my cpu time and slows my pc down to the speed of a 486 sx before its ready
to use. And yet is is advertised that you could run linux on a 486 with 16mb
ram , I think somebody should pull that statement back. What more is that I did
my courses on windows before I changed my bussiness to linux and I promise that
windows is fussy about they condition of hardware and if your hardware is
perfect windows will run well and without to much trouble bearing in mind it is
only a machine.
Freezing and hanging etc.. in win95 was fixed in 98 and yes buggered up in
2000.
So in conclution I ask anyone out there If there is a flavour of linux that
has server and tools built in for use as a pdc dns etc. the grapghic front end
that i easy to understand and if i try to run the vmware that i bought for 400
dollars will it work with out telling me my kernel is an asshole and i must now
try mdk, and loose the nice file manger that did my networking for me in corel
os. Or Ihave a nice set of graphic tools suse but (cad3d) it's to complicated
and takes months wich no in modern times can afford to spend learning .
So now I'll just have corel because I can manage my network in the network
neighbourhood that is like windows but now I cant do my graphic design because
corel only provides me with and unstable gimp .
this is where I would much prefer to just put windows back on all my pcs
becuase I just cant win with this linux.
so here is my final attempt I want a file manager that works just like the one
in corel linux os v1.1 in my mandrake. I want a graphic ppp dialer that does
not give the deamon died error all the time i want a download manager of some
description and I want stability.
More I want somethong that does not require me to try and be what I am not
Iam not a c++ programer or software research and devepement, I am a user and
thats what I do I run my bussiness and I play games and I download things
to playwith then I sort the in network neighbourhood a pass on the good
stuff to the others on my network simply by means of drag and drop or cut and
paste ( quick and efficient)and that is what I do with my pc every night until
2am.
Please Dont take this mail as an Insult or as an attack Iam simply stating
the factsas I have experienced them
PS: excuse the spelling the kmail spellchecker doesnt work properly so i gave
up with it .
thanks
