[clug-talk] Linux Blows...and Sucks

[Juan Alberto Cirez]

Shawn,

"...Basing an opinion that "linux sucks" on a single distribution (as 
seems to be implied in this paragraph) seems rather wrong to me, and 
somewhat narrow minded.  Instead that opinion should be "Distro X sucks 
and blows in my experience..."

LINUX = The KERNEL
The GNU contribution is the basis for the Free Software Foundation's 
preferred name GNU/Linux.

Again,
The point I was trying to make was that as a DESKTOP alternative, 
GNU/Linux (ANY GNU/Linux distro), Blows...and Sucks. For someone like 
myself, GNU/Linux shortcomings as a Desktop replacement are a non-issue 
(as I have been using GNU/Linux since 1995); but to the "average" user 
(like my 5 year-old daughter, my mother-in-law & my wife) using 
GNU/LINUX (ubuntu, fedora, SuSe, etc.) is a gigantic pain in the a$$.

I Love GNU/Linux; but I am pragmatic enough to realize its shortcomings. 
I like to see the world for what it is, rather than for what I want it 
to be.
