Hom nom nom nom BTW, a forum troll is commonly confused with other thoughtful posters who say what you don't want to hear. If what I've said has upset you so, report me. Lol sonny. If you truly understood the needs of the everyday user, you would understand that what the everyday user...

Nice! more people are starting to understand that while the corporate giants will take money from all the little guy's they can, it's only other big businesses they truly give a damn about. After all big business clients have the clout to bankrupt another business if they take their money...

You totally missed my point. let me translate my statement, The sheep = you, the fur = your money, they person sheering it off of you = Microsoft, the sweater = Bill Gates' private yacht.

Scott, I'm glad that you've taken this step. Please also understand that Linux is like a box of chocolates, each one is different but you know they're all going to be good. Ubuntu is a good place to start and it's potential is as limitless as any other Linux distro but once you become...

It's funny that people still believe that market share means anything other than the number of sheep in the flock. When your a sheep someones gonna where your fur as a sweater, and you still get left out in the cold.

I'm fairly sure that HP fully disclosed which OS the printer would be supported for both in the manual, and on the package and probably on the display literature as well. I'm also fairly sure they have never made any promise to support every product for every OS to come. They often do, but...

You're lucky to have purchassed printers that are compatible with Microsoft's catch all drivers. As for generic drivers? The Linux community has be cruising along with them for years, it's sometimes a pain, but I can even make my Lexmark, one of the most notoriously incompatible printers...

Just playing devils advocate here, If you purchased your machine with windows vista, and your support package does not extend to an upgraded OS, You really dont have a gripe with HP, after all I'm sure they are supporting the OS that came with your machine at the time of it's purchase. Now...

May I suggest Xubuntu? For the Poster that referred to BeOS, Haiku is the continuation of the BeOS.

Have you looked at the garbage hardware inside of an HP? it's hodge-podge menagerie or crap, that would be my first clue as to why. That and the drivers realy dont come from HP, they come from the halfassed manufacturers of the hardware it's self. HP is nothing more than a case badge and...

I'm going to give my response to each of your 30 issues. 1. With Linux you can customize all aspects of your GIU to look just the way you like, you are bound by nothing. 2. Again, as a function of your personalized GUI you can display shares however you like in linux. 3. You're right...

I almost couldn't contain myself... and you guys pay money for this OS? Laurent Gaffié blog: Windows 7 / Server 2008R2 Remote Kernel Crash

Richard who? I promote Linux because IN MY OPPINION it's simply better. Now I will grant you this, Open source has it's pit falls. For instance, The only reason you have so many distros is because everyone wants to have their own "brand" if you will. The same reason there is a starbucks on...

Does the application you are running support your desktops native resolution or does it only run in one predefined resolution?

Granted. Must add however, this is more a result of poor support from the manufacturers of audio hardware. I can understand where a small manufacturer doesn't have the money to maintain a development team for Linux support, but also third part hardware manufacturers are sort of at the mercy...
