Hey, umm, moron......,

Well, I use Linux ... have for years. But I don't often cross-post so I
doubt if the ID10T will ever see this.

I have often seen posts like the OP of this thread. They are posted by
Windows 'gurus' who get mad when they don't grasp that Linux marches to
the beat of a VERY different drummer. Until you figure that out, Linux
won't do squat for you. It will mock you, taunt you, humiliate and
torment you. And all the while you can hear it laughing at you. Once you
figure out that "Linux ain't Winders" and stop trying to act as if you
know it all already, it will do everything you ever imagined an OS would
do and a landslide more.

So these GUI gurus start trash-talking Linux on a Linux forum and
promptly get their butts handed to them in a paper bag by people who keep
track of their euchre score in octal and wear binary wris****ches.

I know ... I've still got the paper bag my butt was in when I got it back
some 10 years ago. I've used Linux since then and learned to do my own
thinking before asking questions on specialized forums (on the Postfix
forum they gouge your eyes out with smoldering sticks for trying to get
them to do your thinking for you). This guy will either learn or pick up
his paper bag and go on back to the Windows forums where they think he's a
swell guy.

Novell just switched over 6,000 desktops from Windows to Linux and saved
$900,000 in the first year. Re-training the grunts to do the same
work in Linux as they did in Windows took just hours, not days.

Linux ain't Windows. The sooner the OP learns that, the better off we'll
all be.
