You really don't have a clue, do you?
"Root Kernel"? What in the world is the "root kernel"? Is it different
from the "kernel" or is it a "kernel" that only the root account can
use?
"Drivers are not a problem in Ubuntu like they are in Windows"? Come
now, have you even installed a Canon printer on Ubuntu? Unless you
have one of a very limited, usually outdated, models you need to
search the Web to find a driver. In fact Linux has so much
difficulties with drivers that they have developed a special piece of
software to allow you to use Windows drivers with Linux.
The Registry is "MS' stupid name for a kernel? Whew, you really are
ignorant of how the various systems work, aren't you.
(Perhaps, if you changed your name from "Alias" to "Ignorant", it
would make your posts more appropriate.)
