[KLUG Members] Lindows/"I Hate Linux" rant....

[Russell Dillenburg]

"Because I don't live on caffiene, I don't play Quake, I don't read
Slashdot, and I hate Linux."

I live on caffiene, play Quake, read slashdot occasionally, and I like linux
(notice like not love).

Isn't IE built from Mozilla?

His windows crashes when he has 8 programs running?  Lucky him, I've see it
crash with 1 program running, heck I've seen i crash while just sitting
there doing nothing.  At least the linux screen dump is more useful to me
than that blue screen of death.

"stupid little abbreviated commands"
Uh ok... `cd newtopic`

Where at?

|I read that little rant (as well as a few other articles on this guy's
|site).  Basically, the rant is saying "I hate Linux because I am too
|lazy to figure it out.  Change is hard."  (paraphrase)
|
|What gets me is that he seems to like the political side of Linux (free,
|open, an alternative to microsoft) but he's not willing to put in a few
|hours to learn the technical side.  It's like somebody who really thinks
|candidate X is good for the country but cannot be bothered to go to the
|polls to cast a vote.  He could have learned all the useful commands in
|the time it took him to write that rant.
|
|Where would we be if everybody just took the path of least resistance?
