Read it and weep Linux Nerds....
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsme/news/promopricing.asp
Just to rub salt in the wounds, as if you don't have any wounds,
Staples in Bennington VT had Mandrake 7.1 for $59.95 on an end cap,
hidden from view (all the while 7.0 was in plain sight guess they
wanted to get rid of the 20 boxes or so of 7.0 before they even tried
to sell 7.1). Both shelves had quite a bit of dust on them, and when a
sales lady asked me if needed help, I asked her if they sold a lot of
Linux products and she said nope.
I asked her if she knew what Linux was and she also said "nope" so
maybe there is a pattern developing.
Anyway, I picked up Mandrake 7.1 full on my corporate credit card and
left.
The review is in another post.
The short story is, Linux is true to form in it's collection of
useless garbage and has absolutely no curb appeal to a normal,
non-nerd user.
Sure you can get Linux for free, but let's face it, you folks can't
even give Linux away and gain market share.
Ah yes, "The Times They are A Changin' ".
Microsoft is going to put the last nails in the Linux coffin real soon
now. Good news too because Linux is so cryptic, and 70's like it is
akin to going back in time to when computing was actually a pain in
the ass.
Do yourself a favor and try Windows 2k or SE or ME because Linux is
for the nerds.

OK, let's see:
Mr. Kulkis decides to vote for the Libertarian Party's candidate
instead of George W. Bush.
As a result, that's one more vote for Al Gore.

And how will these back taxes be assessed? Given Mr. Kulkis's

people will never be able to pay off those taxes.

I have, it's for shit. If I install 2k on my home box and install the
driver (I can install the released stable driver, the beta driver, or
the Nvidia detonator driver) for my Geforce card.. 2k won't boot into
normal mode! Even if it's the _only_ driver I install, and if I boot
into Safe Mode (which takes freaking forever) and remove the driver.. it
still won't boot to Normal Mode. If I change video cards (it works fine
in 98 and Linux BTW) I can boot, and if I install the drivers for my
Hauppage TV card, and my Hollywood Plus DVD card... BSOD on boot...

Christ. I'm getting a headache.
No, I don't want to know the syntax of chmod. I want to know the
*representation of the bits* as affected by chmod.
Permissions, Gary. Post the permissions as they are displayed to a user
of Unix examining permissions of a file who wanted to examine the sticky
bit and the suid bit. A rudimentary description of their
representation, or perhaps even a representation of what they "look"
like would enable me to get an answer to the question "what are they?"
that makes sense to me and is not confused with "how do I change them"
or "what do they do".
I recognize that the question "what are they?" is somewhat ambiguous,
and that you are, indeed, trying to explain them in your own fashion.
I'll also agree that, as has happened in the past, I'm harrying you less
for the information itself (which I could dig up myself, with less
effort than I've expended trying to get the answer given to me, if it
were important) than to while away the hours and try to encourage clear
and convenient communication. You don't seem to understand that without
being able to know what "bits" you're talking about, the (for the fourth
time, well known and understood) fact that chmod is the command used in
Unix to set these bits, along with all of the other 'permissions', is
not informational. You seem to be having difficulty understanding the
concept of *associating* something conceptually to begin with, if you'll
forgive me for saying so. I know what the bits are, now I'm trying to
associate them with what chmod does. Get it?

Define failure. Oh, do you mean it fails to draw the big mindless herd
of computer users to its side who don't realize that there are other
alternatives out there? I gather that's what you Windows types define
as failure in terms of OS. The Mac OS user base could be brought all
the way down to 1 user and I would still not define the Mac OS as a
failure.

Sadly, the mindless herd usually loves its freebies. History backs this
up--the mindless herd usually isn't that interested in finer quality.
They want quantity and they want it now.

I present myself as evidence to the contrary. I want an alternative to
Windows. I have disproven your generalization (not too difficult to do)
so the rest of your post is probably hogwash as well.

I doubt anyone on the Linux platform ever expected it to achieve the
kind of user base that Windows has. I know one user who told me he
wouldn't dream of ever introducing his grandmother to Linux, and is
happy to keep her on Windows. And who cares? The mere fact that you
feel threatened enough to issue a public dismissal of Linux is proof
enough of its success.
Again, here's the formula for you Windows users to memorize, maybe
write it 100 times:
OS success!=mass acceptance
Why is it this concept can't get through this MS-induced haze you
Windows users perpetually exist in?

That is patently, even ludicrously, untrue. As is the illusion that
Roberto presented. I am gracious and courteous in response to people
who are gracious and courteous in response. Those that provide
information, like Roberto, might get insulted should they not be
gracious and courteous as well as informative. Those that don't, like
Christopher Smith, are gratuitously ridiculed as trolls.

Because those seven dozen times were spread out over seven years of
using Unix intermittently, and the majority of them were to look for a
specific piece of information which was not related to the issue under
discussion.
Can I get my ten dollars now?

Yea and if you try to use anything BUT a SCSI scanner on Linux it
dies. Same goes for high end sound cards, high end video cards and USB
devices.
Shit same goes for everyday soundcards... Talk to Pete Goodwin about
that one.
Linux just sucks...
It's a collection, a garbage collection, of junk, that nobody wants.
Who the hell needs 15 different editors? Or 10 dialup programs? Or 5
different ways to change your monitor resolution (none of which work
BTW).
A collection of raw sewerage is Linux.....
The people have spoken, largely by ignoring Linux, even though it is
free.
Give it up dude, you have lost before you have even begun.
Oh yea....If you are into high end video and audio you would be better
off with Win98se instead of 2k...
Windows 2k is more of a biz server application....But I suspect you
knew that already.....Try the same thing under 98SE and see what
happens.....
