You're behind the times. Macs, PCs and Linux can and do use GUIs. Linux
isn't just for geeks any more than Windows is.

The purpose of Linux was to be a free OS.

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/rhasan/linux/

Linux itself *IS* different from Windows....a lot different.

Linux is *NOT* the GUI. That is a Linux desktop package.

The GUI portion you see is developed by other groups. The big
ones are KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and Enlightenment.

They each have their own features, and their own 'look'.

No he isn't. He is giving his opinion of you. Most of us agree with that
opinion. You really are a FUCKING IDIOT. By the way IDIOT, take a look at
the stats: LINUX hovers around 1%.

http://marketshare.hitslink.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10

That means Ubuntu is less than that. Could be 0.00003%. Imagine a FREE OS
that has been FREE for years and is still a BLIP on the radar. Must be a
pretty SHITTY product that most reject Linux/Ubuntu! Live with it.

No, Frank, Drew and "Bill" are the trolls. Suggesting an alternative to
Windows 7 is 100% on topic. I help people here and on other news groups.

You are either the dumbest POS to ever post or else you think everyone
in here is dumber than you are. The sign on the door says Windows 7 and
nothing about linux. Posting about other OS's is OT.
Got it shit-for-brains?

I help people here and on other news groups.

about nothing pertinent to windows which in turn makes you the biggest
dumbass! The bottom line here is you are either a dumbass a bigger dumbass

Offering an alternative to Windows is on topic whether you agree with it
or like it. This is an .alt group. If you can't stand the heat, get the

Your inane insults don't change the fact that I'm right and offer an
alternative to Windows 7 is on topic. I'm sure I am old enough to be
