That, unfortunately, does not account for the majority of "big box" computer consumers.<BR/><BR/>As an FYI, in Oct. 2008, I reinstalled 64bit Ubuntu Linux (8.10) on my HP Pavilion dv2415nr laptop and lots of driver issues have been fixed. <BR/><BR/>It works great for the most part. DVDs don't play well but I kept a small partition with Windows XP for native Windows apps.Gregg Brekkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726670638866953812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33232881.post-9011922411486513262008-10-23T22:21:00.000-04:002008-10-23T22:21:00.000-04:00Wow!

Many ultra-portables come with Linux already, with everything working - no compromises. Running an OS which requires anti-virus software is a compromise isn't it? I'm sure that if you look you'll find a Linux OS that involves no compromises for you (Xubuntu, Mepis, Mint, or Suse all spring to mind).<BR/><BR/>I also don't understand the "Linux is for losers" comment. That implies that someone who can't afford Windows or OSX is a loser. That's tarring an awfully large population of the planet. For the record, I can afford them, but the compromises that come with come with them are too much for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33232881.post-88241533013693143232008-07-15T22:08:00.000-04:002008-07-15T22:08:00.000-04:00Google runs Linux...'nuff saidI have a monthly inc...Google runs Linux...'nuff said<BR/>I have a monthly income of $20,000, all my computers run Linux.

It's so rude and mean that someone attempting to make a serious discussion or feedback to an idea would immediately have discredited himself to being a boorish troll, insecure to the point that he has to bring everyone down to his level by tossing out lame insults to a community of people who freely make a conscientious decision as to what operating system they wish to use. Your satirical use of broad belittlements of people; their intellect, their right to freedom of choice without belittlement, their monetary situation; and operating systems is outrageously funny. This remains droll only as long as it is satire. If this was intended to be a serious review of all the different distributions of Linux in any way that can be considered helpful, informative, respectful, or useful in any way, it failed. The clumsy attacks would be rendered useless by anyone who even remotely understood the concept behind Linux. Even without that, the barbed comments and insults would thoroughly discredit you from any semblance of balance or objectivity in this matter. But obviously this is not the case since no one would ever attempt to so barefacedly affront ones intelligence with this pack of drivel unless it was meant to be humorous.Lukjadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416390400699260684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33232881.post-7130413564731305602008-07-15T19:26:00.000-04:002008-07-15T19:26:00.000-04:00Ah yes, another MS fanboy with the brain of a spid...Ah yes, another MS fanboy with the brain of a spider monkey.
