[News] GNU/Linux Desktop Myths: Priceless

Hash: SHA1

Average home user installing drivers in Linux, pffft!

,----[ Quote ]
| Pretty obvious you haven't used Linux 
| recently. The only driver I have had to 
| install, in the last 3 years, has been video 
| drivers, and my distro tells me there is a 
| proprietary driver available and would I like 
| to use it. I press the yes button and it is 
| downloaded and installed automatically. I have 
| to logout of this session and log back in, but 
| I don't have to do a full re-boot, as with 
| Redmonds POS. My present distro came with the 
| latest video driver already installed.

Is MS Preening in Public Posts?

,----[ Quote ]
| The author of the email, posted on ZDNet in a Talkback forum on the Microsoft
| antitrust trial, claimed her name was Michelle Bradley and that she
| had "retired" from Microsoft last week.
|
| "A verbal memo [no email allowed] was passed around the MS campus encouraging
| MS employee's to post to ZDNet articles like this one," the email said.
|
| "The theme is 'Microsoft is responsible for all good things in computerdom.'
| The government has no right to prevent MS from doing anything. Period.
| The 'memo' suggests we use fictional names and state and to identify
| ourselves as students," the author claimed.
