am already wondering some of those things . . . i wonder if i'll end up with a balance of frustrations - about how easy some things are in windows, and how easy other things are in linux.
and how hard some things are in windows, and how hard other things are in linux? alot of what i read here, with people problem solving issues of various sorts, fits with that sort of model, it would seem? -----Original Message----- From: Nick Rout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 9 August 2004 1:43 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Unsubscribing There is a learning curve, however you pretty soon find, IMHO, that its windows that does it differently, and pretty soon you will be wondering why the hell you can't do such and such in windows because its undocumented, proprietary or simply not doable. You'll wonder why windows has to reboot three times to update some software whereas linux almost never does (kernel excepted). You'll wonder why you need to reboot windows 95/98 to change some simple networking parameters that are fixed with a network services restart in linux. you'll wonder why you have to trawl through binary configuration files like the registry, and you'll wonder why grep doesn't work on the registry. In summary i used to be comfortable with windows and frustrated with linux when I first started, now its the other way round. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
