Ubuntu Linux 8.10

I'm sorry, but what does "main good difference" and "linux always fails to safe" mean?

I think he meant save ...

 

[flarkit]

But that makes no sense either: "Linux always fails to save"??

Does this refer to Linux failing to save window positions?

 

[chiskop]

I thought he meant linux fails to a failsafe mode, ie if X crashes, you're dropped into a terminal and can make your plans from there. Windows BSoDs, then you're stuck.

I may be wrong though.

if you don't specify something in linux like open a port to outside world and it colapses,it's closed, unlike windows if the door fails to lock its open

tbf Ubuntu is not the saviour of Linux

tbf Ubuntu is not the saviour of Linux

How so considering it is the most widely used distro, and the one that noobs are most likely to try out?

It might not be a dogmatic savior, but it is an evolutionary step

Ubuntu makes for lazy linux users that's as bad as a windows luser...

I strongly disagree with you Tux. There's no need to be an elitist when it comes to introducing a wider user community to Linux.

I'm speaking from experience. Using both OpenSuse10.3 and ubuntu8.04.1, which you could probably call Kubuntu cause I installed KDE on it.. Still makes for lazy lusers. turned me into one

Now come on... Linux will never be windows.

Besides ubuntu introduces the noobs to linux, the more they learn the more distros they'll try.

you see that assumes, in the first instance, that linux needed saving. which it didn't.

ubuntu is no more revolutionary than fedora for instance. it is however marketed better.

Not when it comes to sound drivers though.

Will give it a whirl when its released and see if it's got better re. sound and E220.
