More FUD from Fanboy. Tell us what CPUs Windoze runs on
and compare
that with Linux. "Best desktop OS" my ass. You sure do
live a sheltered
life, don't you? Totally clueless about what's out there
now.

You remind me of another it10t that was banned from these
groups under a
specific NIC, in fact you could be his twin.

If you want to see for yourself, take Mandrake, Suse,
Fedora, and
Windows XP, put 4 computers side by side, same
hardware/firmware on
each, make sure that you have a good video card for
games/cad, a big
drive, a nice GB eithernet adapter, a Video Capture device,
a Color
Laser Printer, a nice sound card, and 2GB RAM. Now start
your install,
side by side, and then start testing applications with the
same type of
documents - you can even export your Word documents to RTF
and your
Power Point slides to PDF.....

Funny thing is that you'll have the XP box and MS Office
installed with
all patches before Fedora even finishes updating from
yum..... The
others are a crapshoot as to how long they will take, but
in testing,
over a couple different instances, it takes longer to
load/setup/patch
the three Linux distros than the XP + Office 2003 + Upates.

Have you ever actually *installed* Fedora? I'd like to see
you try to
install 100 commercial applications under Windows before I
could install
2,000 under Fedora.

I hit a wrong key and sent this out before meaning to. Make
that "2,000
open-source RPM's under Fedora".


However it's not about speed of installation. In designing
Windows,
Microsoft sacrificed long-term stability and security for an
immediate
flattening of the learning curve. Windows *is* easier up
front, but
you pay down the road in maintenance time and lessened
security. Linux
takes more work to get set up but once you have it
configured it'll sit
there for years with very little maintenance.

Another contest I'd like to see: You install 15,000
applications on a
Windows XP system, and I install 15,000 applications on a
Linux system.
Let's see who finishes first, and whose system goes kablooie.
:o)

Windoze users with only 150 applications installed tell us how
the system
starts crawling along. Double that amount and it's time to
wipe the hard
drive and reinstall.
-----
Where do you get this 'crawling' bs? I have hundreds of programs
installed and my WinXP is as peppy and fast as when it was new.
The Athlon 64 chip is awesome as well.

How would you know if you aren't running 64-bit Windoze and Windoze apps ...
of which there are VERY few?

I'll bet you dollars against donuts that if you loaded up the services I run
on my Linux box with equivalents in Windoze, my lowly Athlon 2500 will beat
your AMD64. Why? Because your system will crash before it can handle the
services and tasks that my system handles with ease.

Leythos is just a MickeyMouse Fanboy who doesn't know squat
about Linux. His
only "experience" with it is apparently his attempt to run
FC4. I'm sure
that this was too much of a challenge for him.
