Only Seven More Days to Go!

[Alias]

On April 29th, the Long Term Support version of Ubuntu will be released,

a release that Mark Shuttleworth devoted all his time to so that Ubuntu

will finally shoot Windows out of the proverbial window. Get it at

http://www.ubuntu.com/ You'll be glad you did.

Burn CDs.

Rip CDs.

Listen to music.

Watch vidoes/DVDs.

Scan and print.

Spreadsheets.

Presentations

Newsgroups.

HTML editing.

Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc.

Make videos.

Learn how to touch type.

Edit images.

Send and receive a fax.

Take screenshots.

Create .PDF files.

Create and use a data base.

Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including

Windows Live Messenger.

IRC.

Bluetooth.



and much more!



What you can't do with Ubuntu:



Worry about:

WPA, WGA and WAT raising their false positive ugly heads,

DRM,

Viruses,

Root kits,

Spyware,

and

Malware.

The following isn't important? Please explain how you use Windows and

don't need to ever:



Email anyone

IM anyone

Surf the Net

Type a document

Play a song

Watch a film



And a long fucking list of etceteras.



Do you even think before you post?

Never said those things are not important. Overall, you can't really do

important work with Ubuntu. Look at 90% of the businesses out there. They

want to be productive. They don't use Open Sores Office. They use

Microsoft Office. Why? So they can get their work done.



Everyone knows that Ubuntu was written by geeks for geeks who can't get laid

and have no social skills. That fits you to a T.

Not the reason.

Everyone knows this is a lie but that won't stop you from posting it

over and over again.



That fits you to a T.



I am not a geek and I get laid regularly. More lies, what a surprise.

Don't tell Alias, it will destroy his sense of breathless

anticipation.

You really need a course in reading comprehension. The discussion was

about the eminent release of the latest Ubuntu offering. Nothing to do

with you.

What do you expect from Alias? He has no reasoning abilities. He uses

Ubuntu!

Ah, so it is.



> How do you like it so far?



Looks good so far. It hasn't had a dispute with my ATI Radeon card this

time. Nothing broken in the apps that I use. Have added Gimp and KMail.



I normally use Fedora, but I'm looking for something with longer term

support.



Just to balance thing up , I should add that I was sufficiently impressed

with Windows 7 that I purchased a copy to run on one of my other machines,

and that I also run Vista and XP.

It is interesting to note that the "Miller Test" which is the United

States Supreme Court's for determining whether something is labeled

obscene, includes three judgments, one of which is whether the subject

matter, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political,

and scientific value



On that basis alias is 30 percent of the way to being an obscene

subject.
