Ubuntu/Linux
Does anyone use it, and would you like to spend some time publicly sneering at the lemmings who use Windows?

Re: Ubuntu/Linux
I've got a couple of Ubuntu VM's, but I don't have a proper install. Thinking of putting Linux on my PS3 though.

If the business world adopted it a bit more (and hardware/drivers etc weren't so optimised for Windaz) I reckon I'd be a hardcore linux nerd. But as it stands, I barely use it, Windows lets me do all the stuff I need to do on a single box.

Re: Ubuntu/Linux
I think the philosophy of Linux is a really endearing thing. For the home user, I think it could actually be the way forward, but unless PC retailers push it, it will never happen. How much of a USP is the fact that EVERYTHING is free? In support terms MS give you fuck all anyway, so having access to masses of geeks worldwide via all the linux sites is perhaps an improvement.

When all is said and done, I can look at porn on either OS equally well, but I like the fact that doing so via Ubuntu is making the world a less corporate place in some small way.

Re: Ubuntu/Linux
I kept meaning to install it on an old machine, but never got round to it, probably never will.

I think what would be good would be a way of getting it to run windows as an application. Not sure if that's remotely possible, but that would piss so many people off...

You just answered your own question.

Big kudos to Ubuntu though, they've done a lot for the Linux community in a short period of time. But it's a long way before they can compete with Windows when it comes to more advanced use. I can't see that happening in the forseeable future.

Re: Ubuntu/Linux
Linux on the xbox is alright, allowing you to browse the internet etc but a little fiddly with the controller.

Re: Ubuntu/Linux
I put it a machine at home and I was really keen on the idea of using it. But I'm a lazy chuff and I just couldn't handle all the stuff that had to be done via command line. I forgot all that when DOS went. I kept having to sulk like a big girl and get Mr Cath to install programs for me.

I've very rarely had to do any command line stuff in Ubuntu. if I have its by choice.

That's what I do because Mrs Hamstrung plays silly games.

Re: Ubuntu/Linux
Friend of mine runs a small accountancy firm, and I've just turned one of their offices on to using Ubuntu & OpenOffice for 2 recycled PCs of theirs. All they're being used for is letterwriting and spreadsheets, and it saves them the price (this guy is ubercareful about legality. No XP Pro VLK/Office keygens for them..) of 2 XP and Office licences.

Result! And that's the beauty of it all. A vast majority of office-based tasks can be happily accomplished with Ubuntu with lesser hardware, and it saves quite a shitload of cash.

Re: Ubuntu/Linux
Dell offer Ubuntu and they must be one of the big hitters in PC sales I would have thought.

Re: Ubuntu/Linux
I've been trying to use Ubuntu at work, but I couldn't figure out how to (if at all) join it to a Windows domain and didn't have time to piss about with it. It was fucking fast though, I was very impressed.

Re: Ubuntu/Linux
There are some jokes about Linux and Ubuntu on that website I keep pasting cartoons from. I don't get them.
