Default Not Ready for Prime Time II

Not Ready for Prime Time II

In posting I had hope of starting a conversation among those of you
who are rational,inteligent and knowledgeable in the interworkings
of Linux. A conversation along the lines of - I understand your frustration
however to fix XXXXX would only cause another set of problems - Yes that is a
problem and it is being worked on. I did get a much better understanding of
why Linux use is stagnated at such a small percentage of computer users.

Instead I recieved irrational, juvenile and paranoid replies of the reality
challenged and social dysfunctionals, vitriolic in term and temperament.
To those I say I truly feel sorry for you, I cannot imagine what it must be
like to suffer the affliction of Asberg Syndrome. I advice you to get out of
your mother's basement and seek treament.

In sum:

This conversation can serve no further purpose.
To one and all I say to you loudly *.*.*

If you want to flame, go to alt.flame on USENET.

If you want help with problems, seek help in the support sections rather
than posting a rant on the soapbox hoping that someone will "sympathize"
and ignore the ranting tone of the post and instead offer to help.

That's not how one gets help.

How one gets help is to try something. If you have a problem, then
instead of expecting help in reply to a post titled "Not Ready For Prime
Time" (which most will take to be troll-bait), find an appropriate
support forum and ask a specific question about the problem there.

For examples on how to ask for help effectively, please see Eric
Raymond's excellent essay on asking smart questions at

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Follow esr's guidelines, and you'll find you'll get much more helpful
answers.

couldn't agree more with hendersj

instead of asking questions about your specific problems with Linux, you came back attacking and insulting some forum members (even putting a label on them, without any proof whatsoever) who have previously instulted you or attacked you in a previous thread. By coming back and responding like you just did, the chance is high that you'll get the same or worse respons from the members and round goes the loop!

@linky1st: It seems from your first post that you had a bad experience with openSUSE. What a pity, sorry for you.

I draw your attention to our board policy regarding objectionable language.

I've modified your post accordingly.

Really i cannot understand what this man wants. He is not obliged to use Linux ( any flavour) while the most of us are obliged to get windows when we buy any pc. So simply don't you use it. You are free to do that. About the percentage: what about Osx? I know that Linux has problems due to development model but i prefer not to have the soup already done, as we say in italy. But this is another thing. When i was an electronic engeneering student i used to solve problems not to copy the solutions. I think it's all. The religion wars never helped the people to be happiest. Stop: change os. Chrisantine was right answering the first tread this man posted
