I about to stop this thread. For one it is going way word and I feel is not
helping here. Next is the Debian is a linux based O/S and before beating down
the path on Debian. Read up on it.
1. Security and thus changing the fire wall every six months.
2. There is more than one program that up dates that may tie into the kernel.
3. Ubuntu can take a unstable version of Debian and make it play nice.
4. It is free. Why are you screaming about some thing that is no cost to any
one.
5. KDE can be very unstable compare to Gnome.
6. If Firefox is crashing it is due to Flash Player and need to go to Mozzilla
and get flash blocker. It will cure the crash.
7. You can install Gnome with out installing a CD for a fresh install.
Most of the Linux O/S out there is based on Debian. Next is Slax, and so one.
Only one that has a total different kernel is SuSe. It was based of off Slax and
now a stand along. Ubuntu gave Micro Soft the F you and stand up to them and
told them that their law suite was empty.
I used different disto's out there and I keep coming back to Ubuntu. It is free
and there is going to be times that some one is going to have a mind set of
windows. I gone through that phase and why it will not do that and this. Why is
not my printer working? Why is not my video card not working, and why I have no
sound?
This is why I point out to people on this group to see Ubuntu Forums page. And
not say the least Ubuntu Wiki page too. There is even a bug page for Ubuntu
too. If you cannot find the driver to run some thing, You can take RPM and make
it into a Deb file and install the drivers.
Yes, not all companies play nice with Linux and it is open source to a extent.
Like Mepis . You got to beg and plead for the hard ware. You do not need the
code. It is getting your hands on the hardware and start writing code for it.
So before you blast off on getting mad. People should take a time or two on
what really goes into Linux. MS has their share sinking and you can be only
number one for so long.
