linux doesn't. As the days go by I love to use linux more and more.
-
Indeed - as soon as i get another NIC for my cable modem im moving over totally to Linux, Mandrake 9 is really simple and nci eot me and Lycoris looks rather pretty. In fact the onyl reason win2k is gonna be about is if i need compatibility with stuff or for the rest of the family to run stuff on

So why did Redhat just implode on me while two versions of XP are going strong?
Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

i didnt like mandrak 9 whatsoever
no time to learn how to use unix interface and shell scripting
THOUGH it it part of my uni couse

redhat died on you cauz it's a magot infested pile of ****. I love linux, dont' get me wrong. I use it on my desktop, my servers, my laptop, at work (I work for an isp where our infastructure is linux and BSD) but redhat is ****!!! So is mandrake; it's built off of redhat. I'm not surprised at all that redhat died on you. I use Debian. It's a REAL *nix. Everything is done at the shell and Debian systems are BEAUTIFULLY organized. The deb package management makes RPMs look the windows msi; YUCK!
You want apache installed??
apt-get install apache
then hit yes and visit http://localhost
or an ftp server?? no prob.
apt-get install proftpd
how bout the nessus security scanner??
apt-get install nessus nessusd nessus-plugins
(you need three cauz you can have the client and not the server)
You decide you no longer want an ftp server?
dpkg --remove proftpd
and that removes ALL the proftpd files, EXCEPT the configs. so you can install it in the future again and have it setup exactly the same way it was before, beautiful. Or if you want the configs gone too:
dpkg --purge proftpd
and it's all gone!!!
How about keeping a system up to date?? Well, in Debian you can install everything through apt so you just do:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
and it will upgrade very single piece of software on the system to the newest version available from Debian, and trust me, theres ALOT of software.
If you aren't afraid of the shell then Debian is the ONLY way tot go as far as linux is concerned. Why would ANYONE want to use redhat over this???

I guess you like Debian over Caldera and Suse too? I'll have to try it out. Is there any GUI at all? Programs?
How about FreeBSD? Too different?

wait wait
the whole os is TEXT BASED
right?

I think criticism of M$ isnt really fair AG
XP and 2k are rather good OS's indeed, win 9x was definitley a plate of sphagetti but NT5 is pretty solid and good for general usage. I just wanna move to linux as im tiring of the whole MS interface and what not - time to learn sumink different, hence linux
An german j00lz, your criticisms of linux are rather invalid seeign as you spnt less than a day workign with it

true
but then again why should i!
winxp doesnt crash runs fast and stable and i like its greyness

I think ppl should now be lookign at moving to linux - with mandrake 9 it has gotten so user friendly and is progressing so well, that as long as it remains free we may indeed find certainly the Pro's moving away from MS and those on budgets such as schools and offices looking at linux
