Re: Why Ubuntu Still Sucks

Mr. Ringmaster,
I believe that some of your advices, you could send to the ubuntu community,
so that they use it to improve the ubuntu project, so that you would be able
to better enjoy it's next release :-)

Every operating system has it's strong and weak points. Each person can
prefer one over another, because it better fits his or her needs. Sure if
you don't like ubuntu, no one will ever force you to use it.

I could not understand why you would scream against it. I'd recommend you to
live happy and in peace with you Vista :-) do you have any problems with
that, or why did you turn to ubuntu?

Now, from my personal point of view, I have 3 operating systems on my
computer, one is ubuntu, the other Windows 2003 server, which is based on XP
and the last one is Windows 2008 server, which based on Vista. Windows
2003/XP is my main environment, simply because it best fits my needs and
some of my software does not work on the others. Still I use the others,
because they offer unique functionality, which I use. I have the best from
all, and so I'm happy with my environment!

| and voila! You have a dynamically filtered view of the entire underlying
| folder structure, with each file type grouped into "Stacks" that can be
| drilled-into or saved as persistent dynamic search objects.
|
| The above is just one example of how integrated search can fundamentally
| alter (for the better) the way you interact with your desktop environment.
| And try as I might, I can't reproduce this capability under Ubuntu 7.10
| "Gustsy Gibbon" - even after a weekend of trolling through the Synaptic
| Package Manager looking for anything that would enhance the OS' otherwise
| anemic search mechanism.
|
| Bottom Line: Ubuntu, like all Linux distributions, is supposed to be all

lightweight
| poser than a real challenger.

You're responding to some asshole that forged my name. I didn't check
which, likely one of this newsgroup's three resident idiots, Frank,
Spanky or Yanaire. All three morons post under dozens of names but
true to form this idiots scream bloody murder if I sometimes post
under a few different names, just to get their goat.
