I gave up on Linux because like you say it is nothing but a time
sucker.
I tried Ubuntu and aside from the fact that it was butt ugly, it just
had so many problems on my system
I finally gave up. I have a run of the mill Asus Intel board, nothing
special and virtually nothing worked.
Some things I did get to work but it was like pulling teeth scouring
the forums for help.
All of this works fine with Windows XP and now Vista.

Linux is nothing but a toy for geeks who like free software and hate
paying for anything.
Every time I see a Linux works great for me post I have to laugh
because I can name at least 20 different people I know for whom
Linux was a total disaster including 2 people who had Linux destroy
their Windows partition and all the data stored on it.

Why not tell them how great Linux is?

You are of course lying, and I can prove it with a single proposition.
List the specific things that didn't work on your machine, and that
machine's detailed configuration.

You'll now launch into some tirade about not having time, not being
able to remember, or some such other juvenile horse ****, because we all
know that if you actually tried to invent some problems you'd make an
even bigger fool of yourself, and there simply aren't that many
problems to be found running Ubuntu with any piece of standard hardware.

Fact is, Ubuntu just works with most hardware. So do most modern Linux
distributions since the last decade or so. And they work without having
to dork around with all the flaky third party drivers for everything
from tits to tires that not only devourer your time during initial
install, but require manual reconnaissance and updating for eternity.

Linux actually supports hardware *better* than Windows ever has, or
ever will. And that's a cold hard fact.

So, you don't know how to run a computer. No need to be embarrassed about
it. Next time you want to run a real, secure OS like Linux then get someone
else to help you, like your grandmother.

See above.

So you bought a machine and didn't find out if Linux would work on it? I
suppose you buy and Apple and then get annoyed because Vista won't run on
it.

You don't get to have opinions about Linux. You tried to run it once, and
then ran away blubbering.

Linux didn't destroy their Windows partition, THEY destroyed their Windows
partition.

Here's a hint: If you want to run a computer, then get some lessons or
SOMETHING... there are too many 'bot machines spewing spam on the 'net as
it is.

Why bother? You aren't listening.
