I use openSUSE 10.2 on 2 desktops with 10.1 dual boot backup. I use
openSuse 10.2 with Windows Media Center dual boot on my laptop. Linux
is my main system and Windows is my toy, the opposite of when I first
started when Windows was my main system and Linux was the toy.

Do you know what, making this a them versus us situation makes
absolutely no sense at all.
If people want to use windows, that's OK by me. I can also understand
why people would use googlegroups. For instance, posting behind some
corporate networks. Making assumptions doesn't help anyone.

No. I was simply pointing out that people can feasibly co-exist using
many operating systems. You seem to be on some sort of crusade to point
out peoples user-agent headers. Why? I've no idea. It is completely
irrelevant.

How do you know he isn't using Ubuntu? How do you know he isn't running
windows from within a Virtualisation? How do you know he isn't posting
from an internet cafe or a workplace whilst all of his personal machines
*do* run Ubuntu?
You assume from peoples headers. Well done. Trying to make it "win v
linux" doesn't achieve anything at all.

Exactly. I "upgraded" my laptop Ubuntu just the other day, which of
course wiped out my linuxant wifi driver, forcing me to dual boot into
WinXP at the coffee shop, where of course I made a posting to this
newsgroup. Geez, some people (i.e. DanC) really need to lighten up a
little. Oh yeah, I also boot into and use WindowsXP exclusively for
video and audio editing, using Sony Vegas and Sony Acid PRO; there
just is nothing comparable that works with my PC that is open source
for linux (please let's not go there, that has been discussed by me
here already at length; kino, avidemux, jashaka, etc, just do not work
smoothly with high def video and with drag and drop effects and dolby
surround sound as Sony software does.).

I 'am' runing linux (on 4 machines) and winxp(on 2) and win98 (on 2).
I am not present at each machine all the time, and several of them dual

/I/ have Windows partitions on two of my test machines, with good reason: I
work (sometimes) at porting Linux applications to Windows. This is done to
showcase the quality of Linux applications, to tempt Windows users towards
FOSS. It also demonstrates to them that migration won't be difficult,
particularly if they've already used the software under that other
"operating system".
I have the Windows partitions purely for testing purposes, and wouldn't
dream of connecting them to the outside world, apart from downloading
"Service Packs" and "Hot Fixes" to make sure that their "updates" don't
break compatibility.

You obviously don't understand the concept of virtualisation. Also, I can
send any header data I like with a newsgroup posting or e-mail - it /might/
not actually reflect the software and operating system at all.

You're now resorting to your silly attempts at semantic analysis again. You
should (by now) realise that you've *lost* *the* *argument* when you have

Perhaps /you/ should consider some education (yours is obviously sadly

You should learn to refrain from diving into other people's debates with

No kidding. I can do that too. It has no bearing on this conversation,

Very poor logic you used there to arrive at your conclusion that I've
"lost the argument". Using proper English is a "silly attempt at semantic
analysis" in your view?
I'll recap it for you: He said "I am using...". That means he is using
it *right now*. If he meant to say he had it installed (on some other
machine), he should/would have said: "I use...". See the difference?
>> Stay in school, simpleton.

Very funny coming from someone who can't understand basic English tense
usage. I'm highly educated, and I don't care much about "etiquette
training", FYI. You probably already knew that.
> You should learn to refrain from diving into other people's debates with

Unreasoning ranting. Great stuff. See above regarding English... Oh, and
take a guess about how much I care about killfiles...

I don't really use games, but I simply *have* to have a virtualisation
of windows to use the accountancy package my firm runs. I occasionally
use that virtualisation for posting to usenet, creating emails etc, but
rarely. Windows has it's place. Running Linux is about the best thing I
ever did, but I'm not a blinkered fool that looks at windows at the
enemy. Co-existance is possible and, in fact, a must for me
personally. It's not that I actually want to do it, it's that there
are personal *benefits* to running multiple OS's.

We tried SuSE at work today. We're hoping to switch our developers

but then neither did Ubuntu. I'll try CentOS next week. :-)

Didn't dream it up. Between your constant need to belittle all n00bs and
Windows users, you make it very clear that you have a massive inferiority
complex. That you don't want to actually admit it is not surprising. I just
wonder if you're trying to hide it from everyone else or yourself.

You're as bad as me. My 4 yr old daughter knows the words to "Fat" off

Poor bloody parenting. It's the cause of all evils. Anyway, they may be

I have used Slackware a little. I'd like to more but once you know a

Yes Slackware is the best...I have uses Slackware10.2 and using
Slackware 11 these days...its kool..A perfect Linux based distro in my

I have openSUSE 10.2, Slackware 11 and Windows XP SP2. I use openSUSE
most of the time and I'm considering to switch to Slackware for it's
simplicity. I would like to buy Vista if I have enough money to buy it.

You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. I'll bet
you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You
are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than
be seen with you.
You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm
deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a
weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a
revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly
with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this
world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by
the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed
themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species
as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very
thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you.
You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the
dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its
beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly
briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of
your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of
your own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty
and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus.
Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are
unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that
reality forgot.
And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements
of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you
hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more
weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle,
waiting for the bite of the snake?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and
obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living
emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease,
you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.
On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient
in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You
are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of
all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock.
You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish
foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless
crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You
cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting
naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted
fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate,
noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise
everything about you, and I wish you would go away.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid.
Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the
stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are
trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that
even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no
intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on
Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy
emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Nothing in our universe can really be
this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original
big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by
anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm
sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this,
you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength
left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about
unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.

Dan C,
I think that's the most you've ever written, and your choice of
adjectives was excellent.
For the unknowing, adjectives are words that describe another person
or thing in a sentence.

No shit.

My philosophy of computers is that they should do what you want them
to do and not vice-versa. Hence I use linux/unices OS's.
I love unices' standardized network interfaces (ssh, x11, scp) that
give you now (and has for the last 25 years) standard access to your
machine and files anywhere there's internet, and ultimate
configurability, but I hate (at least with Fedora) the upgrade
nightmares.
PS: I came from Sun/Solaris at Ericsson about 10 years ago, and in
ancient history I used VAX/VMS (a very, very fine machine and OS, BTW)
and even <drum roll...> RSX-11M on a PDP-11/70. Wow! And yes, I used
the TRS-80 when it came out at school. I've also used HPUX, ISIS-II
(anyone know that one?), and MS-DOS.

Sounds like you should be using Slackware, instead of that nasty Fedora
junk. Why are you not?
