I am one of the 12% elite computer users.

Wow, the poll results truely reflects the demographic that visits engadget. That explains all the Apple fanboyish crap.

So true. OSX and Windows evened out.

I voted linux to help those in need.

as did i

even though i am a windows user

 

[V]

I'm a Windows user too. Though I really like Linux, I'm too dependant on Windows programs.

you're using one right now. say hello to the juventuz web server. and a bunch of routers and firewalls on the way that all run either linux or bsd

oh martin

 

[Martin]

it's true though, people have no idea, they think linux is this mystical thing that only reveals itself to those who pray or something. when in fact it's the most common thing in the world, just not on the desktop

EDIT: that reminds me, I already told Dru his android is running linux

 

[JCK]

Preach, Martin

do all routers run Linux? i know only Linksys run it!

Depends on what routers you mean. I was talking about the routers that are the backbone of the internet. If you wanna talk about home routers then many run linux, but not as many prolly.

 

[V]

Every router I worked with was running Cisco IOS.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

the new Ubuntu sucks!

 

[Martin]

what's the matter?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

network settings never stick! cant get my resolution to work properly! that hardware drivers thing doesnt work! packages are fucked for some reason! it wants to reload the software source EVERYTIME i open add/remove r package manager!!! frankly, a pain in the butt! providing software that doesnt work sucks! i did an upgrade also! and it did NOT fix it!!!! it's like the UBuntu devs dont give a rats ass about the shitty packages and programs!!!

 

[Martin]

Works beautifully here

What does "packages are fucked" mean?

Did you call helpdesk?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

u cant download anything. anything i do, and i get some error that it cant download those packages, and then run some command to fix it...

but i run that command, and it gives me ANOTHER command cos the first one failed!!!

dont fuck with me M!!!

 

[Martin]

reinstall will probably work best at this point
