That's great, Linux is just the kernel, all the other software distributed with it forms the actual operating system - more distros = more choice.Originally Posted by lankan_man
Did you read up on Linux before you decided to install (you've been a fool not too)?Originally Posted by lankan_man
Did you check that the distribution supported your hardware?
I take it you've asked a few questions on Linux forums about how to fix them?
It depends on the student (computer science students have written parts of Linux you know), by the way Word on Linux is AbiWord or OpenOffice Writer.Originally Posted by lankan_man

I suppose every operating system is complex at heart, the problem is Windows won't let you fix problems because it's so complex this is why normally the best thing to do when it goes wrong is re-install.Originally Posted by lankan_man
Lots of people do.Originally Posted by lankan_man
Windows might be able to be tweaked but Linux can be totally reconfigured and made to do whatever you want, and as I said before you can scale it to suit your system you can install a modern distro on fairly old hardware, now try installing XP on anything with less than 128MB of RAM.Originally Posted by lankan_man
In a way you can't compare Windows to Linux the two are totally differant, Linux has a history of being a stable industrial strength OS and Windows well it's Windows.Originally Posted by lankan_man
I can accept you prefer Windows and I can see and I understand why, but the reasons why you prefer it don't make it a better operating system in general.
