Linux experience is, to say the least, disappointing and frustrating. I'm feeling so much better that I can't avoid giving you this piece of advice: do the same. Uninstall Linux and give Windows a second chance. How many chances do you propose a sane person give Windows? My own "precious" computer was rendered _inoperative_ by Windows; no number of clean reinstalls would fix it. Look at the enourmous after-market industry which has sprung up to produce software which serves no other purpose than to make Windows work the way it should, or to provide simple, common-sense functionality for which no informed person would ever pay extra-- who, for example, would buy a new car knowing full well that the entire exhaust system would have to be replaced within a month? Windows won't even properly defragment its own filesystem, for crying out loud-- and very few affordable third-party applications do a much better job. You know, in the midst of trying to get Windows to work again, I picked up a troubleshooting guide published by Microsoft themselves. In this book, it was clearly stated that Windows is inherently unstable and will, over time, deterriorate to the point that a clean reinstall is inevitable. Nobody should have to lose or even interrupt their work for this kind of shoddy workmanship. It came down to simple mathematics for me-- US$69.00 for a complete, stable OS accompanied by the functional equivalent of thousands of dollars' worth of commercial software, versus US$100.00 for an UPGRADE to the most bloated, dumbed-down, shambling, sluggardly heap of bloatware ever foisted upon the computing public. The choice was clear. Sorry your experience was so negative. Linux isn't for everybody. But calling upon others who've had the patience and commitment to both make Linux work and to contribute to the system's rapidly-growing user base to simply give up because of your "disappointing and frustrating" experience is in poor taste. I'd be curious to know how many of us, when we finally left Microsoft behind, stormed the Windows e-mail lists and posted flamebait there? Whatever. Have fun downloading your "service packs" (i.e., patches for alpha-level bugs and stupid oversights) and paying to protect yourself from the next round of e-mail malware. > "I have not only erased Linux from my precious computer..."

[newbie] Won't boot up now.
I changed the settings on my monitor configuration last night, and my screen resolution. I also formated, I though, 7M that was vacant on the hard drive. Now my machine won't boot up, it shows a failure, and when I try to fix it, it fails the fix, and sends me back into a reboot that takes me back in a circle. Where am I going wrong? Do I just need to reload? I am running Mandrake 9.2 and I just got my 10.0 Community discs in. I wonder if it would just be easier to reload with 10. thanks Bill Hatfield
[newbie] Running 'mozilla' opens Firefox
I generally use Firefox, but I keep it to a certain desktop.

I looked at the 'mozilla' script in /usr/bin, and there is reference to a variable $MOZ_CLIENT_PROGRAM.

It just means that he shouldn't be so quick to cast aspersions or stones, literally or figuratively. Besides, this isn't the place for it, and I found it in poor taste. There was no reason to make any disparaging remarks against Canada in the article, as I don't see Indonesia taking steps to protect the civil rights of it's population. I can take a bit of teasing like the next guy, but that's not hat his post was remotely about. Canada took steps to protect the rights of it's people long ago, as well as steps to protect the rights of authors and copyrighted material. Besides, if we give any credence to the study recently conducted by Harvard, sharing MP3's isn't having much of an affect on the music industry. I think this is a fact that most free-thinkers accepted long ago, when all this copyright infringement garbage started, and it's reassuring to see that the Canadian courts seem to agree. So, while Canada and our court system takes another step to protect our way of life, Fajar thinks little of it. I think that it clearly shows that Canada won't be presured into complying with U.S. policy, and perhaps it will also stand out as a more common-sense approach to solving this whole situation. After all, what is the alternative? Have RIAA sue everyone in the world who's ever downloaded a song? Use the World Courts or U.S. political pressure to push similar copyright laws ( ie; DMCA ) into the household of everyone on the planet?
