what he said.
*raises his tankard in salutation*
cheers dude.
just my 2 cent:
I can't stand those rants anymore.
the "linux is not ready for the desktop" rants as well as the opposite "linux
is the best invention since sliced bread" rants.
ALL software sucks. some sucks more, some less. OK, admittedly, linux in
general sucks less than others that come to mind, but its all a question of
what you use your computer for.
In my case, I can do everything I use my computers at home for in linux,
especially after the oh-so-difficult task of typing "zypper sa <url>
<description>" into a root shell a few times with a choice of urls like
packman, kde buildtree, suser-guru and two or three folders on my own local
fileserver, followed by a "zypper -r up".
And yes, I DO play games. on linux.

and I DO watch videos on linux. (since i got me a divx-capable philips dvd
player, not as often as in the past...).
There are TWO things right now that I still use windows for:
- mastering video dvds in the rare case that I want more than one movie on one
disc, and need a menu for that, or when I have source material with subtitles
and want to make anamorphous discs with subs fit for 16:9 AND 4:3 letterbox
- playing ragnarök online (since it just doesnt work under wine).
everything else I can do under linux, and in 99% of the cases I can do it
better and/or easier and/or with more powerful features than under windows
(or mac os, for that matter). Just compare, for example, k3b with nero
express as delivered with most dvd burners.
Compare amarok with windows media player.
Compare, if you feel like it, OpenOffice with notepad and/or wordpad.
Am I religious about it? Dunno. maybe, maybe not.
I use whatever fits my needs best.
bye,
MH
