Linux it's free... Good Thing Because It's Full Of Bugs

Not that long ago actually. I had man 10.1 installed, had TB & FF downloaded and couldn't get it loaded (installed). I was called stupid, ignorant, a moron just for starters. All of the names were probably true but I was smart enough to go back to Windows. One of the dumber ones even complained because I was polite.

I see this is crossposted. I have said the above in mandrakes ng. I also said the following.............

You guys could change your tactics and gain more converts than running everyone down. Change the vinegar to honey?

Take myself for instance. I have mandrake 10.1 on a spare 20g hd. If I wasn't interested, I wouldn't have it. If I ask a question about it and I have, it is going to be in relation to what I would be doing in windows, the system that I DO know. Why should that be so threatening? Someone real sharp could tell me how to do it step by step in linux (show me once and I'll never have to ask about that operation again) how to do it better than windows. If you think about it, why else would I be asking? That does two things. Materially shows your system is better than windows (how's that for a challenge? {G}) and helps make me and other lurkers into converts. Why can't you see that?

Please don't respond to this and start yet another war. No one is going to win. Just reflect on the wisdom or folly (your choice) of the thought.

PS It did lead to another flame war. No one won !!
