Sometime Today, PGRGE cobbled together some glyphs to say:

Hi, could you fix your line length please?  Your lines should wrap at
about 74 characters to prevent horizontal scrolling.

badly written apps crash.  no one ever said that apps on linux don't
crash.  what we say is that linux doesn't crash if an app crashes.

so did you install a SuSE desktop or a custom install?  Chances are you
have many servers set up to start at system startup.  Configure these to
not start.

apt-get install package-name
rpm -Uvh package-name

not been looking eh?

what do you do when a windows app crashes?  try doing the same thing
when a linux app crashes.  If you want to compare two things, compare
them under the same conditions.

eh?

it's just harder for a virus to do much on a unix system.

if windows works for you, use windows.  no one is twisting your arm to
make you use linux.
