Crapware wastes time, segfaults, hangs, bites the dust again
DFS
* installed OpenSuse 10.3 (inside VirtualBox 1.5.6 on WinServer 2003)
* initial setup, chose KDE
* install uneventful and successful, booted into KDE
* used Konqueror to view a CNN web page with a flash video. Video never
loaded, so I hit the Back button and got the usual seg violation crash.
Happens every time.

* ran yast and chose 15 packages
* clicked Check button and it said all dependencies were OK
* clicked Accept, and 2 of the 15 package installs failed
* yast said it would write the system configuration, but it hung half way
through.

* couldn't close the yast window
* went to open a terminal and do 'kill yast' or whatever, but the taskbar
disappeared
* rebooted the VM, it did some kind of fsck and it came back up
* back into yast, chose one of the packages that install failed the first
time (kernel source) and this time it installed and wrote the sys config
Obviously I'm trying to do the impossible: find a Linux distro that actually
works.
The secret is this: to have a good experience with Linux suckware, you have
to degrade your standards and resign yourself to lots of glitches, bumbling
messes, hangs, segfaults, amateurish apps and bullshit problems. That's a
fact.
So where should I shuffle to next?

That's what you get for running Linux under Windows -- try it the other
way around next time.

Load Linux directly on the computer and you wouldn't have the problem.
By the way, try getting a life.

And when I do and the problem persists, and it will of course, what will be
your next excuse?
Blame the user, I'm sure. It's the Linux "advocate" way.

There is no hell, moron.

Assuming what you say is true about him being an idiot, how would his
parents have known? Do you think that there should be a cut-off point in
terms of IQ and if a fetus does not meet the standard it should be aborted?
What tests do you think there are now? What tests would you like to see?
Frankly I think your idea is a frightening one with deep philosophical
issues about what it means to be human.

Michael, only you would do an in-depth analysis of an off the cuff insult. :-)

...so what's the Windows equivalent of doing something like this?
Is there even one?
If not then it's meaningless to bring up problems related to it.

Oh dry up, you whinny, little piece of shit. What kind of moron wannabe
(yeah ad hominems, get over it) would pretend to take an off-the-cuff
insult and become a whinny, little, bullshitting philosopher-wannabe about
it. Only a drip, like you.
You really need to get a job and make something of yourself. You waste way
too much time pissing and moaning and twisting and turning on newsgroups.

nothings.

Following 123 poster complaints ought to inspire Snit to think
before he posts:

Ah, you want me to be creative in response to your begging.
Kinda cute, I suppose... in a really pathetic way.
Why not beg for someone's attention who gives you more creative responses?
