Is this supposed to be an insult to
Linux? If it is, then, you don't want
to hear my rant on how Windows stinks
(even though I code for it), and how
Linux is superior in every way.
| 9/28/2000 9:55:27 PM:Ultimatum
My GOD, do I ever agree with this code!
DOWN WITH ALL THAT IS UNIX! Linux is NO
GOOD! You can't reboot, if you do, you
have to remount all your drives and
then it performs 50000 diagnostics to
make sure nothing is right. The only
thing good about it is that I don't
have it. And it's NOT stable! Windows
NT 4 with SP6 is GOD compared to this
sorry excuse for an operating system...

Um... I use Slakware Linux and it works
just fine. Rebooting is no problem...
Have you ever tried typing 'shutdown -r
now' to reboot, or 'shutdown -h now' to
shutdown? Linux and Unix are more
stable than Win95/98, but I agree that
Windows NT is quite stable. Unix/Linux
provide more security than any other
OS. The Solaris desktop environment for
Unix , along with many others, do not
have any viruses. I checked Network
Associates website (Makers of McAfee),
and there were 2 known viruses for
Linux and Unix. Compare that to the
50,000+ for Windows.

I've had more NT crashes than Linux
crashes. If you have problems with the
above, then you obviously don't know
how to install Linux. I'm not saying
that it's okay to insult Windows
either, because Windows works fine. If
you have a problem with an OS, keep it
to yourself.
| 12/27/2000 10:22:42 AM:Ultimatum
Might I add... uhm... ignore my last
post. It was a very "anti-Unix" time
for me. =) Actually, I still dislike
Linux, but I like *almost* all the
other Unicies. Free/Open/NetBSD, BeOS,
ScoUNIX.
However, when I compiled
this, I got RedHat 6.0 =)
Actually,
I just installed Windows 2000 Server...
and might I add... it is higher than
God. Fault tolerance is the best. Does
Linux have fault tolerance? I think not.

I was talking to a computer consultant
for Western Michigan University. He
likes Linux and Windows "equally" you
could say. His reasons:
Windows,
because it works like a champ.
Linux,
because he likes the underdog.
He
also gave some good reasons as to why
Linux is slightly worse than Windows.
Back in the day, with the original
Unix, if you ever did something stoopyd
and useless, like, oh, say... TURN IT
OFF, it's like taking the hard drive,
shaking it, and saying "Here you go!
Just TRY to work with this!" Linux has
not totally avoided this. While it's
*much* better than back in the day, it
still has a *long* way to go.
He
also said that 90% of the people who
use Linux have this kind of mentality
(somewhat similar to his) =)
Linux
Zealot: WINDOWS S*U*C*K*S! LINUX
RULES!
75% Windows tech: Why does
Linux rule? Give me reasons.

Zealot: BECAUSE IT'S NOT WINDOWS!

I've also noticed something else...
this may come as a shock to you Linux
patriots... everytime they release a
"newer, better distribution", it seems
to become more and more like Windows,
and I don't mean not graphically. The
*actual operating system* has
characteristics to it that really pull
away from Unix and blend with Windows,
such as a FAT-compatible file system
(that still gets scrambled, might I
add), a Windows emulator (give me a
break...) and, of course, lnx4win. Now,
I think I have it... when all you Linux
gurus say that the latest distribution
is the best and even better than
Windows, you're saying that, since
Linux is turning into Windows, it can
be implied that Windows is still
better. Gotcha. (Of course then, by the
same token, am I saying that Windows
sucks?)
Oh, by the way, Dizcmazter,
to clear things up, Windows 3.1 is more
multi-task than Linux... XWindows was
made
| 1/19/2001 5:57:16 PM:WolvenWraith
Woopety-Doo, I'm insulting Linux
people! I have a permanent Linux server
on my LAN, and not once has it crashed
to anything other than faulty hardware.
If that's not stability I don't know
what is... However, I am in no way
bashing Windows. Windows is a little
more user-friendly to someone who's
never seen a computer before. The whole
idea of actually typing something in a
command line confuses some people. heh,
I probably use Linux and Windows about
equally now, and the thing I love about
Linux is almost EVERYTHING is open
source on the OS. You can modify
whatever you want, however you want...
Oh and also, the whole "Linux is
turning into Windows blah blah blah"
idea... First of all, WINE is in no way
associated with the Linux OS developers
(oh and... I'd love to see Microsoft
make a Linux Emulator! *Cough*). The
GUI can be selected by the user, and
the way someone has it set up can ran
| 1/25/2001 6:53:25 PM:Ultimatum
Okay. I'mn *trying* not to be too
Windows-biased, but so far, I have not
seen a single Linux distro that has
proven to run up to the standards of
what has been claimed. Let me put it
this way: if you HAVE to use Linux (as
opposed to something better but still
UNIX based, such as BeOS, *BSD,
Solaris), use MANDRAKE. I've tried to
use Slackware (wouldn't even install,
let alone being the absolute *least*
secure OS out there). I also just
*recently* used Redhat 7.0 in PC Tech
at trade school. Because of the
encounter I had with it there, I now
consider it a virus. It SCRAMBLED the
hard drive, even after one successful
'shutdown -h now' and power down. I
tried to re-install, but neither Disk
Druid OR fdisk would remove the
existing partitions.
| 1/25/2001 7:00:54 PM:Ultimatum
I had to use MS-DOS's fdisk to remove
the Linux partitions, but for some
reason, Linux decided to wipe out the
logical DOS drive in the only extended
partition and replace it with the swap
partition. I found this INCREDIBLY
annoying, especially when trying to
delete the extended partition. (Trying
to delete extended parition: "Cannot
delete extended partition while logical
drives exist." Trying to delete logical
drive in extended partition: "No
logical drives defined.") It took
merely a Windows 2000 AS install and
repair to fix the problem.

By the way, WolvenWraith, there are
*several* Linux emulators for Windows.

Ok, this is my LONG
speech:
HAHAHAHAHA...
Ultimatum, you
need to go back to school and just take
ONE class on Linux. What do you think
Mandrake, Red Hat, etc. are? They're
slackware with added utilities. There
is only ONE Linux OS, and that is
slackware, not Red Hat, not Mandrake,
JUST the kernal itself. And learn how
to install the thing properly, if the
partitions are messed up, it's YOUR
fault, the OS doesn't mess with the
partitions after the install, not
anymore than Windows does.
| 2/10/2001 1:51:41 PM:Patrick Steger
I'm gonna stay neutral on this Win
vs. Linux thing, because frankly
they're both good for different things.
Windows has TONS of apps available for
it, yet the number is shrinking
rapidly. Linux has KILLER networking
support and kick a55 multitasking (tho
again Windows is cathing up). That 3.1
remark was just ignorant. Learn of a
little thing called the terminal.
That's the simplest way to do
multitasking, there's also commands to
do things in the background, but
throwing the info out there is probably
just a waste of my time.
| 2/10/2001 1:58:06 PM:Patrick Steger
Do your research before you choose your
OS, it's the most important software
you have on your machine. From what
I've observed of people, Windows is
better if you don't want to do much
research and if you get stuck you can
call most anyone to fix it (and yea, it
does have better resistance to things
like power failures). Linux (and the
like) is better if you want to trick
your OS out and get down and dirty with
the hardware (Also, doesn't have things
like FAT unless you want to enable it
for some idi0tic reason as it won't
make your box any less vulnerable to
powerloss). An easy analog is to
compare it to a car. Windows is like
having a 5.0 Mustang that you just go
out and buy, ready to run, just turn
the key and hit the gas.
| 2/10/2001 1:59:41 PM:Patrick Steger
Linux is like a car you have the parts
laying around for, and you have to
build yourself, if you get started and
find out you don't know what an engine
is, you're out of luck, but otherwise,
you can build your car however you see
fit. People who dis Linux, but don't
have a valid reason (like that not
being able to reboot mess o rknow any
commands and stare at a prompt all day)
are ignorant, likewise are the Linux
zealots who say it rules just because
it's not something else are idi0ts too
(tho I must confess, I've never met
anyone like that personally, just going
on what was said
earlier.)

At the end of the day everyone chooses
his own OS. Its a fact that Most
people, who says Linux Rulez only say
it to support each other, want to
represent themselfs as hackers and
things like this. On the other hand,
the greate thing about Linux, for me,
is that it is very twekable, very easy
to use and if if know what you doing
you will never have feeling when you
work on windows like the one you get,
when working on Linux. For me, spending
loads of my time infront of computer,
it is a greate advatage, I can trully
control my computer and the computer is
trully mine. It is, however, also true
that most people whoa say Windows is
crup, simply dont know what windows is.
It may also be a good OS, but requires
twice as much tweaking as required for
Linux.
| 4/19/2001 10:01:42 PM:Cyberjet
If you want windows not only you have
to run defragmenter, but remove the
contents of your temp files mannually
or perhaps write an utility for this.
In either case, Both OS's are greate,
but dont forget Windows was created by
businessmen in order to make profit,
whereas Linux was created computer
geeks, who loves computers and they
certainly did their best to give birth
to Linux and we'll hardly every find
out whats inside Windows. In
conclusion, I am a heavy supporter of
Linux and only use Windows due to a
number of applications, which arent
avaliable for Linux. Not a secret some
of them are games :).
| 6/10/2001 12:09:17 PM:jeremy tennyson
not to change the subject but I think
someone needs to round out the topic.
how about the crappy mac os? they try
in every way to make it like windows
while going for linux unfriendly
interface and even worse they drag
Linux down in the mud by basing their
new version of mac os on the linux
kernel! now how about that for low down
insults?
I have not seen a single
macintosh computer that impressed me (
my school had over a thousand of them )
and I really don't like the built in
monitor stuff. what if you want a flat
panel display? can't do because jobs is
too busy running he dumb ### company
into the ground!
| 7/11/2001 1:56:41 AM:Graznar Media Network
OK two things. Windows does remove the
TEMP files automatically. I think you
may have to set this up but it will do
it. An I have yet to touch ScanDisk or
Defrag., and my computer works perfect.
Second, the new power G4's and G4
cubes allow you to have monitors, and
actually most people buy a flat screen
with the G4 Cube (just for style
;D).
Linux is an awesome OS, but
Windows is obviously more suppoerted.
But I also love how Linux/UNIX whatever
is open source. That's awesome. I
wish Windows would do that! But again,
they're out for profit at MS...oh well
that's my rant just to clear a few
things up. :)
| 8/27/2001 7:48:55 PM:Jeremy McAnally
I think someone forgot Linux is open
source...OK maybe everyone did.

i am very happy with win2k pro but i
still have slackware linux just for

personally, i like the challenge of

HELLO! this is the author of this
article. i wrote it to say that linux
is better, altho the redhat does bloat.
i also wrote it to say that somethings
in linux are much easier to use. it's
just that everyone wants to bash linux
so much and promote that stinking
windows code . . .
| 12/11/2001 2:57:52 AM:Telegeek
Linux is 100000 times better than
windows, I was working with Visual

started c++ and java, just because
Windows ain't working to well. Linuz

Linux are way ahead.

I am a Linux
newbie but i didn't have any problems
with my slackware. This proves that
Windows are a newbie os, where you are
forced to do what microsoft want (msn
Explorer :) I cant see how you can
complain about slackware like that
since its a LINUX os. When you say that
we should use Mandrake you prove to the
world that you are a simple newbie that
dont know what you talk about........ (=
| 2/25/2002 5:03:28 PM:Travis Goodspeed
I use Mandrake linux 8.1 though I have
been using it, and *BSD, for a while.
I have had a total of 1 kernel panic.
I only had to reinstall once(when I
overwrote /dev/null(I was 12 at the
time)). My uptime record is 6 months,
and that was ended by a power outage
:{. Linux can run on anything from my
palmtop to my beowulf cluster. I think
all programmers should flock to linux
because of it's open sourcecode, and
standardised compiler.
| 2/25/2002 5:03:47 PM:Travis Goodspeed
I also have considerable experiance
with windo$e, though I no longer use
it. I think I had a grand total of 900
or so BSODs a year and my all time
record for uptime was a mere 3 weeks(I
was out of town)! It is painfull
seeing so many obvious problems with a
system and not having the chance to fix
them! Not to mention the fun of
setting up my own mainframe(dumb
terminals(XTs, actual dumb terminals,
and graphing calcs), x terminals(mostly
486s), and virtual terminals. Any
decent linux box makes windo$e look
like a pathetic point-n-click toy for
challenged toddlers.

A few words...
LINUX IS GOD
| 7/16/2002 3:07:28 PM:Translucent Mind
Linux and Windows are pretty much on
the same level, each having different
strengths and weaknesses. *Most* of the
above posts talk about Linux and
Windows in terms of just general use,
but you can't really compare the two
like that. Linux isn't meant to be the
latest greatest OS for everyone, it's
meant as an alternitive. Strengths:
Open Source, Infaniatly Tweakable,
Extreamly Stable, Awsome Networking and
Server, it's FREE, and it is the
future. What would take months for
Microsoft to implement can take as
little as a week for Linux, thanks to
open source. It also has some of the
widest hardware compatibility around,
running on more hardware configs than
Windows ever has.
| 7/16/2002 3:08:56 PM:Translucent Mind
Weaknesses: It is always being changed
due to open source, so it will always
have instabilites. It's not for the
basic computer user, and because it
doesn't shield you from your hardware
(windows does) it can be real easy for
the novice to screw themeleves over.
Also, probably its biggest downfall
(but thats quickly becoming less and
less of an issue) is lack of software.
Windows;
Strengths: Very easy to
use, shields user from hardware,
millions of software titles, and you
can get support for it very easily.
Weaknesses: Limited customizability,
prone to crashes, sooo many viruses,
many security leaks, API memory leaks
(for programmers), costs a lot, takes a
while for updates to come out, and the
new XP is a huge resource hog.
So,
guys, when you go and get your OS, get
the right OS for you. Linux for
Servers, Programming, ETC. Windows for
every day use.
| 7/16/2002 3:10:16 PM:Translucent Mind
Both OS's are great, it just depends on
how you use them. Also, I would like to
comment on Jeremy's post: you may not
know this, but the Mac for quite some
time was the most powerful computer you
could get. Windows is a rip of the
origonal MAC OS, and the only reason
why Mac has fallen is because of lack
of software and lack of hardware
producers. If you ever look at any of
the big time digital FX companies, they
all use Macs.
