To use a car, you need to learn to drive. To use a TV, you need to
learn the button. To use an oven, you need to learn baking, to use a
shaving set, you need to learn shaving, to use a can opener, you need
to learn a can opener, to use Windows, you need to learn Windows, ad
nauseum, ....

To use an OS, one has to learn what a Mouse is, and how to
use a keyboard. Learning the convention of a Command-Line:
No. Not since the death of DOS, for sure.


If a programmer is unable to write a correct user-interface,
why on earth would he be able to write any Soft, at all?

The UI is correct, merely _different_

Once again, keep in mind that UNIX evolved in the late 60s and early
70s. At that time there were _no_ such thing as an "average Joe" user.
Only programmers and scientists used software. Linux, based itself on
UNIX, so has derived it's philosophy from UNIX.

Right. In other words, a system that no joe user would have
ever considered using. I am not interrested with Programmers'
OSes.


The purpose of an OS, is to _do_ the job.

Yes. And the Linux kernel does it better than the Windows kernel,

Jocking again, i suppose...


Even if Ubuntu
is called "User-Friendly", it is still at light-years from Windows,
you like it or not, at this point of view.

As I said desktops like KDE and GNOME have made basic usage as
friendly, IMHO, as for Windows.

No. Also, if there exist *two*, one must be destroyed.


The reality is
that Linux is slow, unsecure, boring

Yes KDE and GNOME _are_ slow. No question about that. But they are not
Linux itself. Linux is, strictly speaking, just the kernel. Together
with GNU's C library, compiler and fundamental utilities, it forms a
clean, lean OS.

:))

Do you see how these words are absurd?


Addons like Apache, MySQL, KDE, GNOME, X server, Samba, Sendmail,
etc., may be better or worse than other alternatives. Generally they
are better, but, as you noticed, KDE and GNOME tend to be resource
hogs. But OTOH, they offer richer control over the GUI environment
than the default Windows shell, which, I think, is Explorer.exe.

:))

Hopefully, MenuetOS does not have a graphical Interface, does it?

:))

It was not a bug. It was incorrect usage by the user. *sudo* asks for
_your_ password, _not_ the root password.

You like it or not, this _is_ a bug. There is no difference in
between root and the password, under Ubuntu. It was accepting
the password at boot, and refusing it for any action requireing
it. I had to re-boot in rescue mode, to change the password, for
a simpler one, and then it was OK. There are not two passwords,
here. I see two tracks for the bug hunt: 1) The first password i
choosed was not pleasing the second stage, and a simpler one did
it. 2) There might have been keyboard confusion (Azerty <> Querty),
at the first boot.


Well go ahead then with DOS and Windows. Have you followed Microsoft's
strong recommendations and upgraded to the latest and greatest Windows
Vista?

No. 2000 here, and i have absolutely no intention of buying
anything else. 2000 works fine, and the only problem i have
with it is that i am ashamed of having given money to MS for
it, after having already given money for 95. So, do not put
your finger where it hurts. :))


You can setup associations for this in your file manager. Just create
a new association that any file with a '.exe' extension should be run
from the command-line by wine.

Probably. Mind you, i searched for this, yesterday, and never
found out how to do it. Today, even though i did *not* set it,
this option installed itself, so that i can just double-click
upon an icon for a run... How? Why? No idea. More than that,
since this click-job works... the Application itself does no
more work like it was used to. You know what? There is a Troll
inside Linux, who hates me, and who plays bad jokes to me !!!
