On April 29th, the Long Term Support version of Ubuntu will be released,
a release that Mark Shuttleworth devoted all his time to so that Ubuntu
will finally shoot Windows out of the proverbial window. Get it at
http://www.ubuntu.com/ You'll be glad you did.

What can be done with Ubuntu:

Email
Surf the web
Burn CDs.
Rip CDs.
Listen to music.
Watch vidoes/DVDs.
Scan and print.
Spreadsheets.
Presentations
Newsgroups.
HTML editing.
Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc.
Make videos.
Download photos from a camera and organize them.
Translations.
Use a dictionary
Learn how to touch type.
Edit images.
Send and receive a fax.
Take screenshots.
Create .PDF files.
Create and use a data base.
Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including
Windows Live Messenger.
IRC.
Bluetooth.

and much more!

What you can't do with Ubuntu:

Worry about:
WPA, WGA and WAT raising their false positive ugly heads,
DRM,
Viruses,
Root kits,
Spyware,
and
Malware.

Use it to wipe Windows off your PC...tinker with it, play with the
cube,marvel at the low quality.
Then comes the moment when you think "What have I done?"
"Why in the hell did I listen to that idiot".
"Now I've got to re-install Windows all over again".
"I'll never drink that much again"

From Full Circle, an on line Ubuntu magazine Q & A column:

A few weeks ago, I
updated using the
Update Manager. I
reboot as requested,
but I couldn't get back into
Ubuntu. I asked for help around
the forums, but had internet
access problems. Finally I
decided to reinstall using the
Live CD as suggested (with
some kind people's advice).
But I lost a lot of time & effort.


Poor jerk. Installed Ubuntu and the first time he upgraded it died and
he had to re-install.

Another one:

For the past months I have been getting "your session lasted less then
10 seconds" so I have been unable to log onto Ubuntu.

Nice one. Install Ubuntu and it won't let you log in.

And yet another:

I've tried a few low cost Bluetooth dongles and have discovered that
they work with windows but not Ubuntu. It seems I was using dongles
that used firmware by CSR which is apparently unsupported by
Ubuntu....

Great, you install Ubuntu and the economical versions stop working.
Windows can but Ubuntu can't.

If this kind of stuff is published in a magazine that was started to
support Ubuntu imagine what is published in an unbiased magazine.

Gosh, he had Internet connection problems and couldn't update properly.
The same thing would happen to Windows except you'd probably get an
endless BSOD reboot.

When using any OS, one should research hardware before buying it.

Not sure you want to switch from Windows to Ubuntu? Buy a new hard drive
and install it on that. Gosh, are you really that challenged that you
couldn't figure that out?

So you are saying Windows has never had an update cause a
problem ? (Wrong)

And you are also saying that Windows supports devices that
Linux doesn't. True. By the same token though, how many times
has there been a device that was one or two years old, that
was supported and worked in Linux, and it *still* worked in
the next version, and the next version, and the next version,
etc.....what about the switch from XP to Vista ? How many
devices did *that* break ?

.......Besides.....if a peripheral doesn't work in Windows,
it's the third-party mfgs fault and not a Windows issue, yet
if theirs no Linux drivers for it, it's a Linux problem?

And to get back to the content of the OP, are you also saying
that the 'list' is wrong, and you can't do those things in
Linux?

That seems to be a valid problem, the problem itself anyway.
'Not being able to use your computer for months' because of
it.......well......

A quick Google on the error message gets back hits.......

From the Ubuntu forums....
Redhat
Xfce
Fedora
CentOS
Debian & Mint obviously.
ZenWalk
Gentoo
Novell SUSE
SELinux

This obviously is not an 'Ubuntu' problem, and seems to be
permissions related, and not too widespread.

No, it's you.

The Linux thing is just secondary.

Look, I make no wild claims about Linux nor its future.......I
either correct mis-information, or am looking for a fact-based
logical explaination to someone's negative claims.......

Yeah, I'm that challenged, dumbass.
Read my fuckin headers,dumbass.
It ain't ubuntushitsthebed, tho.
Your opening statement mentions "shooting Windows out the
window"...whatever the hell that means.
Nothing of side-by-side,mutiple HDDs,or partitioning schemes.
Idiot...one minute It's to replace Windows, next it's "well, you still
need Windows".
Pick a friggen position, stick to it, and stop waffling about.

Maybe he does mean we as in me too, I don't know, but why does
that add some crazy homosexual connotation to the fact that
two people in one place don't agree with you ? We know
everyone wants to be liked, but face it, you can't be liked by
everyone.

Is that so hard to believe as you come off as so egotistical
as you do, with 'I know everything' and 'I'm never wrong' and
being elitist in every thing you say and all of your ideals.
If someone doesn't 'like' you, it's because there's something
wrong with them ? Maybe there's something wrong with you.

How narcissistic can you be ?

You're a friggen moron.
I think your gay because you have a fascination with inserting oblects
up my rear.
So shut your whiney, liberal pie-hole.
Your like to sling it....don't like when it's tossed back at ya.

Well, as expected you show your ignorance, not only of computers, but
now of Ubuntu.

Here is the reply from Full Circle, who apparently know more about
Ubuntu they you do.

Each update is
stringently tested by
either the Ubuntu
development team or
one of the MOTUs before it is
allowed into the main
repository, with the update
generally going into the
"proposed" updates section for
people to test. Unfortunately
though, it is impossible to try it
with everyone's configuration,
so the best thing to do in a
case like this is to submit a bug
report so that (all going well) it
will not happen again.

Well it may be bullshit but here is what the magazine replied:

If you can log into Recovery mode
should be an option when booting,) you
can go into the root shell, and create
a new user name to log in with.
You can do that with these two commands:
#useradd (username)
#passwd (username)
Replacing (username) with your new login name.
Reboot and try to log in using your new account.
unfortunately if this doesn't work your best bet
is probably to back up your data and reinstall Ubuntu.

you need to re-word that statement, as in:

"When using any OS, other then Windows, one should research hardware
before buying it. Particularly when using Ubuntu."

Alias, you are a liar. And, if your response above is any indication
you know very little about Linux, or Ubuntu.

The point is that Alias didn't have a clue about how to correct the
problem, although the magazine had provided a serviceable fix (make a
new account), which I later posted for his perusal.

A Linux expert he doesn't seem to be.
