I installed this distro to see if linux lives up to the hype or not. this was a terrible mistake and it ended up costing me my house and all my expensive stuff. this linux crap is so bad that calling it linsux is being too generus.
this free crapware that they can barely give away for free screwed up my BIOS and ended up overclocking my CPU. after setup finished this home made hackware needed to download about 50 gigs of security patches and upgrades and updates and who knows what sort of uncontrolled home made crapware. so I left my computer on while it downloaded all this crap and went out. while I was gone the CPU over heated and started a fire. my multi million dollar estate went up in flames.
thanks linsux. my lawyer told me that if this was software from a real company I could sue and get money. but since its crapware thats written by fat hackers working out of their moms basement there is nothing I can do.
anyone who wants to use linsux should do it at they're own risk. this crap is no where near ready for the public to use. no wonder its free. so is dog shit.
You, my friend, are a complete dumbass. And just for posting this, I belive you deserved to lose your so-called "Multi Million Dollar" estate. there are a few things that sort of corrupt you story.
1. If you are soooo rich, chances are you'd be using a Mac. They're prettier. And would match your lifestyle better.
2. I dont know what OS even needs more than 3 GB of space. Ive been using Fedora Core for 2 Years now, with no problems.
3. Linux is VERY user friendly, and most mistakes are fault of the End User.
4. Apperantly you didnt spend much time in school, for to learn how to spell and use proper grammar, or even Capitalization for that matter.
5. About 7 of the ten "Helpful Posts" youve made, have been in tha last 2 hours.
Maybe you should stop being such a loser, and stop spamming the groups with your Wintard jabber. And if you were soooo computer savvy, you would know (a) What your system need to run the given OS (b) How big the OS is (c) Can my CPU handle it...or (d) All of the Above.

Why can't trolls present their punch lines first and lies later ?
Obviously he is not. He is a troll. His purpose is to troll. You have been trolled. Personally, I found it moderately amusing. Almost makes as much sense as the less extreme bullshit these types usually spout.
I can just imagine a cluster of Windows machines. They'd have to have a team of MCSE's equipped with roller skates, just to keep pressing reset buttons ...

and it pissed me off so back from all the crashing and the 20 viruses that got installed that I smashed the PC with a sledgehammer. I tried to sue MS but they sent a guy around and shot my dog and said next time it would be me.

That's nothing. My cat liked to sleep next to my Windows box to keep warm. Then what we all feared HAPPENED! One of the 100's of thousands of Window's virii mutated and jumped to my cat. When my cat went out, it infected the neighbor's cats. And it didn't stop there. You know how prolific Windows virii can be. The next to be infected were all the dogs in the neighborhood. Then it jumped to the children. Then to their parents. It spread so fast that now the whole town has been infected and is quarantined under Marshall law. Microsoft has been spending a fortune to keep this quiet. All communication has been cut off to keep Gate's dirty secret. MSCE's are here wearing anti-contamination suits but are not gaining. There have been ominous reports that they are considering a "low level format" of the ENTIRE town.
Because I also had a Linux box, I'm able to get this message out. The local LUG here is busy collecting all the Windows boxes and soaking them in formaldehyde to remove this mutated virus.
PS. Please send Linux disks so we can finish the job and save the remaining women and children.

WHICH DISTRO! You start like a typical wintroll - absolutely no specifics whatsever. How did you get it? This whole story sounds like such a load of nonsense that it has absolutely no credibility at all.

That's really interesting, since absolutely no version of Linux that I know of alters the BIOS to overclock the CPU. YOU might have decided to overclock the CPU, but it's highly unlikley that Linux was even capable of setting the BIOS to overclock.

Clearly an exaggeration. Even the largest distribution, with all available languages installed, takes up less than 6 gigabytes. But that one is sold commercially. You didn't get this one commercially though, did you?

There is one possible scenario where Linux could have started a fire. If you had an old 800x600 monitor and you tried to push the resolution to 1024x768 or better. This was something that could be manually configured on old Slackware distributions. The problem was that the flyback transformer would overheat and eventually you would see some sparks and fight.

Actually, even if were Microsoft Software, you wouldn't get a dime. Remember, all software comes with licenses, and nearly all licenses require that the end user indemnify the publisher against all liability. About the only way around it is if you could prove that there were deliberate sabotage.
Now, if you could name the specific distribution, the specific hardware used, and as much of the configuration as you can possibly remember, along with any information about choices you made, you might be able to recreate your scenario and have an independent evaluator determine whether this was the actual cause - or if your cat just knocked over a lamp or if you were just using a cheap extension cord.
> anyone who wants to use linsux should do it at they're own risk. this > crap is no where near ready for the public to use. no wonder its free. > so is dog shit.
This is pure nonsense. You obviously weren't there when the fire started, so you don't know exactly HOW the fire started. What was the cause determined by the fire department.
To begin with, unless you removed the cover to the PC, even if the fan died and the processor did overheat, it wouldn't cause a fire. It would be in a metal case to prevent static interference. Second, unless you deliberately overclocked the CPU to something like double the rated capability it still wouldn't run hot enough to actually cause a fire.
Many mondern PCs have power supplies that produce up to 400 watts of power, that could be well over the 10 amp rating of most inexpensive extension cords.
You might regret publishing this rediculous claim, it indicates that you may have defrauded your insurance company.

Good. That'll teach you to lie thru your teeth...now what was the real story? Let me guess...you got bored masturbating and decided that the most useful thing you could do with your life was to compose a trite piece of crap into cola..is that close?

If you were a real person posting a real happening you'd not sound like the attention-seeking problem child that you are in reality...

Posting puerile trite into here is free too, unfortunately. Otherwise you'd just have to keep masturbating...

Comic timing Just as they lack common sense, imagination, basic english writing skills and style, they also lack comic timing. It was mildly amusing though...

There's a more glaring clue than not providing specifics:
Anyone remember the case where a woman was in a bus that had a small accident, and she sued the city because she said the trauma had caused her to become a nymphmaniac? At least that's how I remember the story. The city had to pay, and the case was infamous as an abuse of the legal system. Somehow this story reminds me of that one. I'm looking forward to:
"Linux made me a nymphomanicac!!!"
"Linux burned down my house and made me a nymphomaniac!!!"
"Linux burned down my house and made me a devil worshipper and a nyphomaniac!!!

Rex.... you're giving this fools post far too seriously and have given him way too much credit. I doubt that *anyone* here believes a single sentence of that post.

Don't laugh. This was not funny. Hundreds of people almost died before we got it under control.
The MSCE's slunk out of town last night except for the two that Chester caught. Him and the Colonel were heating up a kettle of tar and plucking chickens but we told them they can't do that any more.
All the townsfolk went to a town meeting this morning and it was voted 1287 to 1 to make the county a "virus-free environment". So Windows was banned. Things should be back to normal within a few days. The kids at the school have volunteered their time. People will be able to bring their computers (after the LUG guys have disinfected and power washed the boxes) to the auditorium where the younger, smaller kids will be installing Linux. The older and bigger kids will then return and install the boxes in the homes and collect the infected MS install and hardware disks, as well as all the related manuals for proper disposal. We are were unable to disinfect these items. We have contacted Waste Management Systems for a quote for hazardous waste disposal (preferably in another state).
The largest damage was at Clem's MS Server farm on the outskirts of town. The only solution here was to dig a trench and bulldoze the servers into the ground to prevent a resurgence of the infection. We really didn't like to do this but there is no other choice at present. That site will be infectious for years to come.
PS The one vote against banning MS Windows came from some millionaire who lives in a big, ostentatious mansion on the hill behind the Church. His mansion burned down and he blamed it on Linux. He says he is penniless now. Spent his last time on some big city shyster lawyer firm. Sam, the fire marshal went out to the scene and discovered the fire was caused by a nest of MS worms that had pupated in the bios. When they flew away, one of them touched the CPU and it's wings caught on fire. It then apparently fluttered onto the stack of install disks next to the computer. Well you 'all know how flammable those are. We believe all the moths were burned in the ensuing fire. That sure is a relief. The town folks had a collection and we raised enough money to buy him a trailer to live in (this shows how good hearted the townsfolk are even though he was a doofus).
PPS The tar that Chester and the Colonel heated up didn't go to waste. Those fine fellows used it to build a couple of speed bumps in front of the school which we needed.
PPPS A big heartfelt thank you to all of you that sent Linux disks. We couldn't have done this without your generosity.
PPPPS My cat is doing well but it will take a long time before she trusts going near a computer again.
Let this be a warning to all. DON'T let your pets get to close to your Windoze box. Them Windoze virii are extremely virulent and are capable of mutating at a ferocious rate.
That's the DC output current. The input current would be about double. Add to that the Monitor and any accessories. That could be enough to overheat a really cheap extension cord.
I cant help but think that the whole story is made up. But, if I just called him a liar, he might point me to a URL and google map of a house that burned down.
There was a remote element of truth, but I wanted to make sure that we put that to bed too.

That's amazing. The same thing happened to me. I'm now living in a cardboard box.

But the monitor would need to be at least 10 years old as all monitors made since that time have protection and just go into standby at the merest hint of being overdriven, can't be many of these left in use - especially in a multimillion dollar estate the OP claims was destroyed.

Even then you've no chance of winning - don't forget who owns all the lawyers.

And still no chance of a fire if it's an intel CPU - I know from experience (from fan failure and incorrectly fitted heatsinks) that when a PIII or P4 starts to overheat it immediataly switches the motherboard into standby and is left with no permanent damage. Some AMD's will burn though (main reason I prefer intels for my home PC).
