Hey, replica. No, ubuntu is not the only distro I've tried. And, I've been on this forum for more than a year now. I was on here under another name. I never gave up on ubuntu, rather, ubuntu gave up on me. Trust me, I've tried being patient with ubuntu. But I have my limit. Thanks, man.

.

I was pretty sure I recognised you. taurusx5, right? I think you'll get banned for this one.

I have tried other distros and decided to use XP.


We all know who's the disrespecful one here. You ain't fooling us, buddy!


Is this guy for real? Fanboy here has spent all his energy and pointless paragraphs in starting an absurd argument against me, which we all see hasn't worked.


I dont think ubuntu is crappy. I just think it's crap.

.

You guys need to settle down. Don't get the troll all worked up. Haven't you guys learned anything from these nerd type forums, if you feed the trolls, they'll have a reason to stick around and tell us how Linux or Ubuntu sucks, along with yelling out fanboy comments and the like.

Stop posting and the thread will get swallowed up, davidx can just talk to himself but will get bored when he realizes that no one cares what he thinks any longer!

You do enjoy it, don't you?

Can you please register with some windows forum and spread your words
of wisdom there?


When I noticed davidx's not being able to give up, just for a moment I thought of bashyow. Just for a moment...

But at least bashyow used Slackware.. and his equivalent thread would have started out as "Women S U C K"..

I'm glad I wasn't drinking milk when I read this! LOL

fair enough

Wassup, dragonslayer! Thank you for your thoughts upon my thread. In reply to your question, I did try a few distros but was not satisfied. Don't get me wrong. I think ubuntu has potential. But for now, it should just be relegated to a work in progress until it gets up to the level where speed and performance matches windows. This is what the developers' goal should be.

Hey, fred. Thanks for the comments. I do agree with you to the extent only to where the distro will work without the problems that was prevalent on older systems. I wouldn't mind going through the hassle of geting a system to work. But, if problems from the distro exist where such problems were normal 10 or 15 years ago - and they shouldn't be an issue anymore - then it's not worth it and the distro has failed its purpose. It should then take a 'back to the drawing board' approach until the kinks are out of it so much so, that such issues that shouldn't exist - as they don't exist anymore - are completely eliminated.

Spellchecker - huh?
Actually we are affected by your experience since you are going on about it here.

OS/2 is even faster than that use it then.


Pardon my french but thats just BS.You did much better in your first post.

Sorry bout the language but utilizing superior,filesystem and windows in the same context is just ridiculous.
Microsoft is multibillion $$ company with a gazillion employees and is still running a 15 year old filesystem with some modifications.

To make matters even more ridiculuos they couldn't deliver on the promised new filesystem for vista that was developed for 5 years or so and it ain't going to be in windows7 either.


Dunno what they installed and how but if somebody isn't aware that screwing around with partitions with data on them can lead to loss of the data is just thick.

People like that are in the same league with the malwarecatchers.

I really don't see why you go on with this since you already burned the bridges (insert melodramatic music) and rejoined your old love (insert happy song).

Frankly I'd think somebody would have something better to do than explain to a forum full of Linux nerds how wonderful windows is.

DUHH!!! That’s why I’m using XP.

The piece does serve a purpose. And it’s not rant... the proof is your reaction.

I’ve seen angry people like you before who have issues with themselves who resort to hating others because others refuse to follow their beliefs. I've tried to make ubuntu work, but it failed. Is it a crime to write about a system’s failure?

Also, you are soooo angry. Have you tried counseling?


I don’t like firefox. End of story.


If you’ve never heard of banshee or songbird, then you shouldn’t be critiquing me or anyone about something you’ve made obvious that you know NOTHING about.


Good for you.


I have... have you tried a psychiatrist? No? then bye!


Use the search function and read about the myriads of users who complain about dual-boot. Also, use google. Here, I'll give you the addy to help you: www.google.com.


It is equally strange that it took so much time to realize that most people prefer windows. Linux is trying to be windows since it has become gui. Read this article: http://lifehacker.com/5029852/launch...indows-version


I installed Vista on my machine. It works. I installed ubuntu in the same machine. It doesn’t work as fast and as well as Vista. End of story.

Oh, sure... I’ll go away right now... let me just say goodbye to your sister first.


I do agree. Reinstalling ubuntu is stupid.


Errr! Wrong! Since linux is becoming more windows-like and is offered as an alternative o/s, it’s clear that it’s competing with windows. And you're right... it doesn’t need to. It can never compete with windows.


You’re right. I don’t like what they do... but, it’s not my problem anymore! It’s yours now.... Bye bye!

.

That wasn't my name on here, wrong again, as usual. It's strange to see some people so obsessed with me. I can imagine your hardship. Maybe you're stressed? Do you have any activities outside of computers that can help you relax, like, fishing, bowling, camping, a girlfriend, perhaps? I think the constant focus on computers has stressed you. Take a break, and let it all out... you don't have to feel presurred. We hope you feel better soon and can come back to the forum feeling normal again. Counseling can also help alleviate your issues.

.

I have to admit that you have this shtick down to a "t". You should try to make it as an abusive comedian like Don Rickles used to be.

trickykid, have you ever been banned? Words can get you into trouble, you know. If I were you, I'd stop making ridiculous comments that can get you banned. Your comments go against the rules of the forum to which you agreed.

Please be sure to follow the forum rules and respect others as you would want them to respect you. Be nice and others will be nice to you.

Are you angry that Obama won by any chance? I ask this because the anger since Nov. 4 has been relentless. and I have seen this anger from many who are mad that a brother won. Just curious.

You also mentioned the following:

If you have so much anger towards women, then maybe this is not the forum for you. Women are not bad people. Learn to respect them also and they will appreciate you for that.
