The rest of your post is your usual ramble.
Hands up all those tired of this type of useless OS bashing :wave:
I don't think Linux can run on a calculator.Just because I know nothing about video editing software, doesn't mean that I can't make the claim that the best one is being developed.
Now as for the rest of my post being "ramble", mr Decker, and for the fact that you want proof,
Linux Stability: All (good) webservers run linux, if you did a survery of webhosts here, 99% of them run linux, google runs linux, etc.
Linux Security: Kernel is utterly secure, permissions & groups system unmatched, look at how many viruses there are for linux, and them compare to windows.
Linux Features: Linux pioneered technologies like XGL, linux has workspaces, permissions, package managers, comes with c compilers. Windows has NOTHING.
Linux Speed: Takes up HEAPS less resources. Linux kernel is so light, it can be ran on anything. Even a bloody calculator.
When I used windows, it was constantly hogging all of my ram, and I couldn't do squat.
Now, I constantly have 20-30 things open, and never have to restart my computer, and still, I've never seen the memory usage reach even 80%
Linux Ease of Use: Nothing is easier than Linux. You don't have to go though crappy driver setups, connection setups, configure everything to bits - it does everything automatically and just works.
If you want to install something, you don't have to look all over the bloody internet for it, download it, install it, configure it, only to find out some time later you need to go through the entire process again because there's a new version.
Linux has package managers, which do all this and much more automatically.
Everything is helpful, colourful, practical and makes sense.
Windows is just utter BS.
How can you explain that EVERYTHING that's good is made for linux? Apache, PHP, MySQL, BIND, etc.
It's all made for linux then ported to windows. Why do you think that is?
Why do you think smart people use linux? Why do you think hackers use linux? Why do you think Google uses linux? Because it looks pretty, and has many different desktop environments unlike ugly windows?
The only thing Microsoft is good at, is reverse engineering linux and other open source technologies and incorporating them into their crappy software.
Just admit it, you are wrong, wrong as wrong can be - wrong.
I don't think Linux can run on a calculator.
Most webservers used Linux because it is most suitable for webservers, but that does not necessarily means that Linux is better. I suppose the way Linux is designed makes it easier for webservers. And who says good webhosts doesn't run Windows Server too? I've seen alot of webhosts providing Windows hosting and also seen clients looking for Windows hosting.
Helpful? On Ubuntu, I wonder how long I took to upgrade the bloody Firefox. I am pretty new to Linux at that time. If it's helpful, it should provide some directions. The package manager wasn't updated with the latest Firefox at that time and I had to ask on Ubuntu's IRC support channel.
Just pointing out some of the points which I do not really agree. I can't say much for the rest of them since I am not exactly that 'professional'. But I think I have the rights to express my views. I am not trying to bash Linux or whatever, but it isn't really that good as some people described it out to be.
Updating software sure is easier, but I am not sure about security.I wouldn't be at surprised if it in fact can.
Yeh, n00bs who use ASP and MSSQL.
Google uses Linux and MySQL, and I think that says it all.
And you need to look at the underlying principles. Why is linux better suitable for webhosts?
Linux is very secure, with the right settings it can stop many attacks which windows is prone to, just because it has no permissions & groups system.
Linux, is just completely different from windows, it is designed to be secure, and it is....it is VERY secure.
Ubuntu is a LTR (6.06), if you want the latest things, go with the 6.10 one, it will always have the latest.
Personally, I just dl firefox from their site like I would on windows. But I always am using beta/alpha software anyway. I use gaim beta, firefox alpha, goina install php 6 cvs, etc.
Most applications like firefox come with linux installers, which are like windows installers. Very simple.
It pays off in the long term, not in the short term.
I'm sure when you first started to use a computer (which I suspect had windows on it), you didn't know how to do much either.
Well this is very similar, but many basic things are the same.
It will take time, but in a few months, you'll be able to do anything you want on linux....just give it time. It's an entirely different OS, which works in a drastically different way to windows, so you shouldn't expect to ace it anytime soon.
But like I said, it pays off in the long term. You never have to worry about security, and constantly purchasing expensive software, keeping stuff updated, etc.
Linux lets you run wild with everything you want to do, because it takes care of or is free off all the problems of windows, which require you to spend hours working on, like security, maintenance, updating, etc.
Updating software sure is easier, but I am not sure about security.
Yes I started with Windows... I was pretty young at that time. Windows is much easier to learn than Linux, so it is better for newbies. Linux can do more advanced stuff when you fully master it, however it does take time.
About the installers' part, Windows installers are much easier. I had to follow a guide to use the installer for Firefox.
I won't say much though, since I am not exactly that good at Linux. However, I do not think it is as "godly" as you made it out to be.
Oh by the way, just because Google uses Linux, it does not means Linux is the best. It is just their personal preference, they find Linux easier for their needs.
Once again, I meant no offence by my post. Treat me as a newbie or whatever you want, but I just felt like expressing my views in regard to your post.

Haha, that's funny you know. Last time I installed linux on my computer I had to install a windows driver wrapper to make my wireless card work with it. And then wrestle for hours to configure the damn thing.Linux Ease of Use: Nothing is easier than Linux.

- I think you'd better research that one a bit more.Google uses Linux and MySQL
NO, google use Google OSI wouldn't be at surprised if it in fact can.

NO, google use Google OS
Give him the bits one or 2 at a time - it's obviously all to much for his calculator to handle.
So like, Your saying over 50% of normal computer users are lieing?
ok.
What you mean is this: You like linux more.
I like windows, I like linux too, To me they both have there uses!
I do bag windows, But I also bag linux
Windows has far more security issues
Linux is crap at installing desktop type programs,
Its easy if its a package!
Eitherway,
I dislike some things about linux and I dislike some things about windows!
To sit there and say "linux owns windows" is just silly If that was true EVERYONE would be using it. :classic2:
