Kclug Digest, Vol 34, Issue 3

[Earle Beason]

WELL,
    I usually one to promote free speech, however this is a travesty, I 
would be one of those "LUSERS" who happen to be running a windows XP 
(X3), Windows XP pro, Fedora 5 and Fedora 6 on different machines, Yes 
that 6 different computers. The wife and I are moving to an all Linux 
powered network

     Your nasty attitude about window users is exactly the crap the put 
me off from Linux for over a decade. From what I have read on this 
forum, If I handed my 4 year old the keyboard she would still be more 
productive then you at promoting Linux, mainly because she don't know 
how to talk trash.
    Both my wife are the so called "Least Common Denominator Users,"  
Quite frankly I don't understand Linux, I don't know how to code , I 
don't know all the in and outs, however I am learning it as I go. What I 
do know is that I can install Fedora, Ubuntna, and Suse, and then get 
open office to cover the applications, and livina to cover movies and 
MP3s. With Linux seemingly o have everything built in I can google 
warrior any problem and get it fixed. So far my job, friends and family 
are impressed with the Linux system I put on their computers. I even got 
a dude I gave some computers to through craigslist, to format his drives 
and purge the illegal copy of Microsoft XP, and load fedora 6; He is 
happy with Linux
 At my job a twenty minute demonstration on a Linux laptop, got positive 
responses. My boss and several of my coworkers are starting to play with 
Linux, so far everyone has had  good results in whatever application 
their running

I climb off my hate-box now and ask for you to STFU and try doing 
something productive like educating all the poor who have illegal copies 
of Microsoft, on using a Linux system. You might find the "Least Common 
Denominator Users," are actually pretty intelligent people who are 
unaccustomed to the power of a Linux Machine and just need to be clued in
