How Many of you installed Linux?
Well to begin i must say i dont like Linux! I mean what is wrong with Windows....The only reason Linux is safer is because no one has made viruses for Linux and also hardly anyone makes new softwares or games for Linux and even if someone makes it, it is hard to find. The August issue gave the pros and cons of all the available Linux's and in that i saw that for some reason some linux is good but for some other reason some other linux is good i mean there is no Standard base of Linux Like windows 98. As you all know Digit DVD of August had Linux Suse 9.1 and the September Issue has Knoppix. So guys if u have installed Linux from the DVD then pls tell ur experience or even other linux users can tell about their own Experiences |

It's usability and stabililty thing when u talk windows and linux... and my experience with linux is cool... i run RHEL Pro WS and WIN XP Media Center 2004 on my desktop.
I installed SuSe by DIGIT in a Virtual PC using Microsoft Virtual PC 2004... well SuSE is a good distro... i liked it. U were talking about STANDARDS like WINDOWS VERSIONS in LINUX... well man ever heard of OpenSource????????? (just GOOGLE it for more info) WINDOWS is also not STANDARD... ask peoples who use WINDOWS (me too) and apply patch every week... lol sure, LINUX is cool when it comes to security stuff

Well there is already lots of discussion about usuability of Linux,
Already lots of LINUX vs WINDOWS .. If still people ask that Why LINUX ? then either they don't like to read earlier posts or they really don't have patience to learn something and which is better !

OPEN SOURCE is rocking.
I have both WINDOWS XP and Red Hat linux 9. The latest in Linux is Fedora CORE 2. and if u r a little more adventuruous, tryyyyyyy SLAGWARE 10. The future belongs to open source...............

Xandros for example contains a proprietary CD burning software that has serious limitations... Its just not ethical to use such distributions that are there to make money and to take advantage of the hype... I stand by my Debian Box...

I tried the Knoppix by burning it to a CD and ran it using the live CD option on the boot menu i inserted a line "lang=us" to change the language to us english but when linux started there were still somethings or maybe spellings written in german.....is it like that with all linuxes?
Moreover while the program auto configured my devices...it wasnt able to configure my sound card so the sound didnt work and also it didnt cofigure my Geforce MX 4000 card....is that a problem with linux or is it my computer? Anyway i tried Linux.....looks good but complicated most of the things u will ever need are already installed... i will surely keep looking at it to see what it is all about But Still "WINDOWS IS THE BEST" |

Hmm..
well LINUX sucks......BIG TIME.. It cannot detect my HDD..It says HDD not found or some crap.. cuz its in a raid array lol... I mean wtf..even win98 gets installed on my system without havin probs in detecting my HDD..I installed the Promise raid driver after comletein win98 installation..so cool Same goes for WinXP..atleast the it starts off by copying files on my HDD..lateron the error is imminent if I donnot install my Promise Fasttrak 378 driver but atleast WinXP setup knows that my HDD is there and copies files to the HDD..lol Freakin even Dos works...but not Linux SO LINUX SUCKX.... Will install it on my other PC though...2morrow...lol Untill then LINUX sucks... P.S: 2morrow it might Rock...
