Is it just me...

[thehstrybean]

I just got Ubuntu working on my lappy, and yes, that includes wifi. I found out that Evolution can handle Groupwise, what we use at work, and I got gdesklets working...Bittorrent runs so much better, too...Dang, it's sweet...

Yes, it's the default MAC backround...I've been playin with a macbook and I love it...

Linux looks even sweeter on the 19" widescreen I bought at CC today...w00t!!

Linux is a mean, lean OS.

I'm playing with a couple distros on my virtual machine right now, Centos, Debian, and RHEL.

I really wish XGL+compiz ran well on my laptop, but it doesn't...

Some people prefer not to have scantily clad women on their desktops.

Oh, I like scantily clad women, I just wonder how well that would be at work...

Everything has it's uses....

Jsut couldn't get linux for the deskto pto work out for me....wasted to much time fiddling with stuff

I have xp pro in a VM right now so maybe I'll isntall ubuntu on it again....

 

[FeuerFrei]

It's sweeter because you put all that work into getting stuff running.

 

[DaiShan]

I only keep one Windows box in my office, and that is only because I have to support Windows users. (plus RDP > VNC for when I've gotta work on a 2k3 box)

Yeah, I took in one of my home builds and use it at work...for some reason, Ubuntu can't seem to get the package manager to work at work...I don't know if it's a firewall thing, but t works fine here at home...I mainly do Novell client (for network drives and ZenWorks), Groupwise, and RDP...That and I have to show people how to do stuff, and they just don't get linux...

Just wait till you actually start using it...

try this:
open evolution, copy something from an email and paste it into firefox address bar

or

Plug in your external firewire drive / non-usb-mass digital camera. Let me know in couple hours how far you've progressed.

Except for Broadcom wifi!! w00t!!

1. install bcm43xx-fwcutter
2. cut fimware from .sys file
3. Reboot
4. ...
5. Profit! (with wifi!)

I hit enter and it went to the evolution home page...mainly because the only email I have right now is the one saying "Welcome to Evolution!"

Never really cared for Linux... I spent too much time fiddling and trying to make it just right and it never happened. I also never got used to using the GIMP in place of Photoshop, and I could never get my wireless network to work correctly. Oh well, to each his own I suppose.

There ARE more background choices than scantily clad women, or the Apple desktop.

True, but I love the apple one...for now...

Not just you... just you and a bunch of other nerds. I've never liked linux as a desktop OS. There's nothing it can do for me that Windows cannot, but there are things Windows can do for me (or do better) that Linux cannot. When I used linux as a desktop OS, I always found myself settling.
