Ubuntu and Kubuntu aren't that bad.....it's basically just a pimped up version
of debian.......I'm not a big fan of ubuntu myself......but then again I haven't
played with it enough to really start to like it.........I work all day with unix yet
on my workstation and laptop I run XP.......simply coz it's a lot more compatible
with almost every desktop app than linux........I know you can get almost
everything done that you can on windows.....but half the time that means
you can run non linux stuff on a linux system........and that's never an
improvement....... SecureCRT is all I need when working in unix....that's a
lot less hassle than fucking around with X windows and installing tons of shit
I'd need to do the same on linux..........I don't see the point or advantage in
doing that.......it's as stupid as trying to cook a meal in a laundry machine....
I do have a unix server in my office which I use a production/file server
but for any non server task.......linux isn't any better than good old windows.
I never have to reboot windows or any of the bullshit that people usely come
up with.......all the popular windows dissadvantages are 90% caused by
the user instead of windows.......if you keep your box clean....don't install
crappy software or "Cracked" versions and whenever you deinstall something
you also clean the registry than there's not much performance reasons why
you rather should use linux.........
Ok.....unless you really hate to occasionally reboot your machine after
software upgrades that really require a reboot.......which these days isn't
that often anymore......the days that changing your ip or any other network
setting and HAD to reboot are long gone..........
The advantages of Linux/Unix over windows don't have anything todo with
usage as a desktop........linux geeks don't want to hear it.......but if asked
to show me I'm wrong.....
The only reason I can think of why you would install it on your workstation
is to learn how to use it.......if you want to learn howto work with unix than
that's a good reason to play with it on your workstation.......anything other
than that.........imo is absolute useless
