Who're you calling a sicko zealot, Flatty?

who will try and

No suckering involved. People may choose to or not, look for themselves.

In your completely uninformed, biased, and MicroShilled opinion.

I have used Suse and Mandrake as well as

oh, bullpoo.

and they all are so slow it's not even funny.

Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

9 minutes to come up with a listing of 37,590 mp3 files over a Windows SMB share. And when it does finally show the list, it scrolls as smooth as you like.

Bull. Windows XP took only slightly less time to display the listing, but then, trying to scroll pretty much locked the CPU.Iran the experiment and posted the timings, if you remember. XPSP1 vs. Knoppix EKDE 3.4.

Never used it.

Never used that either.

In your dreams. Even on a local RAID0, that same list took 11 minutes (yes, SLOWER than over the network to a Linux box!!) to load into Winamp.

Never used it.

NB: iTunes for Windows XP took 17 minutes to load the list. iTunes for Mac OS X (Tiger on a G3-400) took 8.

Because it has to load the DLLs at load-time. And try 19 seconds on a P4m-2.0.

Because Windows XP loads the Office and IE DLLs atboot time-. Ever wonder why the desktop is unusable for a few minutes after it's apparently "ready"? It's an MS trick they've been doing since Win2K to FUD down the advantages of loading the relevant data into memorywhen it is called then displaying itafterit is completely loaded, because it's something that Microsoft have apparently been completely unable to even emulate.

We did the math on this and showed you to be a bullpooter, Flatty. Stop it.

5, 8 and right (read 2 paragraphs up)

Benchmarks, please?

Benchmarks, please?

small f***in' wonder you box is so slow. LCD on the board. You do realise, don't you, that with a pooty board like that, you're not getting the most out of the rest of your kit?

'Cos you parented most of 'em (go on, prove me wrong, Flatty, I defy you to) and were shown by myself, among others who were also able and willing to run live, side by side experiments just to show you publicly, what a complete fraud you are.

Now, may I suggest you go out and buy a MacIntosh with Mac OS X "Tiger" on it, and stop bothering the good people of this LINUX ADVOCACY group, because I'm getting really tired of pointing out old answers to the same old bullpoo you keep recycling.
