As for the cheat sheet thing. I think that’s a lame reason to start hacking on ubuntu. There’s other areas that would be more logical like printer support or the fact you can’t run access on it, as far as I know.

The only problem with ubuntu, causing me to shake my fist at the sky, is printer support. It’s a lucky day when I get a printer to work on ubuntu even if it has software to do so on linux. Just last month I was shocked when my girlfriend’s usb printer worked on my pc. Till then I just gave up on printing in ubuntu. Too lazy to go out and buy a printer that works on ubuntu.

I started using ubuntu exclusively a few years ago being so digusted with XP. Since then, getting to know and use the unique features of ubuntu has made me spoiled. Now it’s hard for me to work productively in windows, unless using portable ubuntu. Gone are the days when I need to spend anywhere from $30 to hundreds of dollars for apps just so I could get some work done. Aside from all that I’m also spoiled by the regular ubuntu releases, always making things even better than before. I’m surprised people are impressed with vista graphics. It’s settings are mid level graphics settings in ubuntu. At high level settings I show my friends the really neat graphics ubuntu desktop has.

Just having upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.10 I was pleasantly surprised that my warcraft install worked better than before, even better graphics. I run five instances of warcraft at once, being a muliboxer. It works very nicely. I was ready to setup warcraft all over again getting wine to work correctly for it, but no, it worked like a dream.

I have successfully gotten my x-wife into ubuntu after her disgust with her windows XP install always having something else wrong, possible trojans and such.

My girlfriend got a very nasty trojan a couple of weeks ago. So I just popped in a ubuntu live cd, boot up to it and she was back to her e-mail and office. This gives me time to get to her pc and reinstall windows from scratch. I don’t thing she’d notice if I switched it to ubuntu but I need a windows computer for my video capture board.

2… i finally get it installed, i go to adjust my screen resolution and im stuck at 600×800 instead of the 1369×960 my monitor supports. long story short i read enough web forums to finally get the damn nvidia driver to install, onl to find out its made my resoulution shittier and decreased my resolution options. now any indow i open is impossible to navigate.

FUCK UBUNTU its the biggest piece of shit ever… ill gladly go but a copy of windows rather then deal with this bs ever again. I swear you need to read a book to install a simple f’n driver or change the screen resolution. dont waste your time.

But I am not giving up.

However, I can now see why Microsoft rules the world.

If you don’t like it, you just uninstall Ubuntu from Add/Remove in Windows, just like any other normal bit of software.

Glad that DELL finally allows its products to be free of MS-Vista. So far, microcomputer on the last century are so primitive. When Symbian grows up, perhaps it will be THE winner?

So why don’t YOU explain why Mac computers haven’t caught on?

Ubuntu is incredibly simple to use. Its very secure, very stable, very user friendly, and its free. If you tested out the operating system yourself you would see that.

In fact, if you are running windows…its even easier than ever before to install!

Burn it as an iso image, and boot it.
It’s free, it’s easy and you will have the opportunity to make your own opinion without typing any complicated command.

You’re free. That’s my explanation of Linux.
