"The popular Ubuntu Linux distribution has received criticism from an
unexpected corner and its ASUS Eee netbook users are likely to be left with
an unworkable system when Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala hits the Internet later
this month."
But of course it all "just works" for the COLA liars....
Here is more:
"The core of Fewt¡¦s complaint is that with each subsequent Ubuntu release ¡V
including version 9.10, Karmic Koala, now only days away ¡V something
changes that breaks compatibility with the ASUS Eee addons produced by Fewt
and Eeebuntu colleagues.
This means Eeebuntu users suffer when ordinary Eeebuntu users opt to
upgrade their systems, and, Fewt believes, mistakenly blame his Eee PC
utilities.
Fewt has expressed his exasperation that bugs exist in Ubuntu which hinder
Eee users and although he has published work-around code and steps these
continue to be perpetuated in each release.
Much of Fewt¡¦s ire is aimed specifically at the Intel display drivers being
used and he warns his faithful followers that come Karmic Koala¡¦s release
later this month Eeebuntu users will be left with nothing but a blank
screen at startup.
Fewt illustrated some display settings commands which work in Ubuntu 9.04,
Jaunty Jackalope, but not in Karmic Koala. Exasperatingly, although the
command fails, it still returns a successful error code, meaning scripts
which proceed based on the result of commands will be none the wiser
something has gone wrong.
Fewt posted on his software catalogue site that Eee PC Utilities and Eee PC
Tray have reached their end of life this month. He explained in his blog he
just can¡¦t go on.
The reason, he said, is because ¡§Ubuntu sucks.¡¨""
And more:
"¡§Instead of moving forward with every release, they have the uncanny
ability to take Linux back in time by piling code that doesn¡¦t work on top
of more code that doesn¡¦t work until they have turned their OS into a
garbage salad.¡¨ He said."
Hahahahahahhahahaha!!!!!
More spinning cubes and wobble windows.....
Yep, Ubuntu gets worse with each release.
And finally:
"¡§Maybe I should buy a copy of Windows 7,¡¨ he concludes. "
Damm right he should.
At least it works. |

Well, fortunately for Linux users, you're not stuck with one distribution
if things go sour -- like you are with WinCrap.

Yep, Ubuntu gets worse with each release.
Yet many people will use it successfully, just as over 300 million
people have been able to use Vista without the trials and trauma
reported gleefully by the Linux fans here. The technology really
matters far less than the user's attitude.
With all the traditional legitimate sources of technical opinion
currently in the pro-Windows 7 camp, there won't be the same enthusiasm
for knocking it in COLA, however, and a number of these advocates are
sure to get closer to the reality they have been avoiding for so long.
They won't abandon the cause, certainly, but I think that you will be
able to sense a growing depression.
Windows 7 is like that one ex girlfriend every man had.
Pretty, but unstable. |

Of course you're lying because, well... that's all the WinTrolls can come
up with.
Had he not, time and time again, been caught blustering and generally
putting his foot in it he might be believed.
However, when he gets his distros mixed up AND he ignores all the known
issues with the release and claims its all hunky dory the chances are he
is telling lies once more. Terry feels the need to Lie for Linux. Why
I will never understand. Admit the issues, fix them, move on.
This IS the guy remember who telnets into clients machines and updates
them without their knowledge. |
