| Ha Ha, I was going to do the same one word answer thing, It came to me as I read the question about p0rn, I thought the same thing "stay off the p0rn sites".
I'm not annoyed at all and am not having a bad day, it would appear that you, IRQ, are. In the fourm on SuSE you told me to CALM DOWN because I got amused at predicting a Debian holy warrior when Linux came up as a topic. Sure, you then pointed out that you didn't recommend it to newbies but that just makes it funnier to admit you had nothing to really add to answer his question but couldn't pass up the chance to tote the vitures of your OS. This is a prime example of the Holy Warrior you describe. Be passively aggressive in pushing your Distro and then go after anyone who disagrees with you.
Please understand that because you failed to inform this new linux user that the OS you mentioned, in a thread where he is asking what he should use, is totally inapproprite for him, I felt I should make it clear for him so he could make an informed choice. For doing this you started right away to defend your OS of choice, again, not helping this guy with his question. What is it your trying to accomplish?
For those that are not familliar with the debian thing it's like Linux = RC heli's and Debian = Century. (Anything by M$ is a planker) That should explain where the hostilities IRC has come from.
Disflamer: I don't own or have an opinion of Century (except for this crappy hummingbird but we're talking heli's here) I think it is possiable that I may own a preditior in the future, all Century Reps in my area are very knowledgable and competant. I have no desire to slam Century at all. Our purpose here is to split tiny hairs over two flavors of the same thing.
oh ya, I also started this thread in the off topic area. I have no problem with any subject that comes up here. It didn't bother me at all that these computer support questions are posted and on the contrary I read them with pleasure. This thread was started because I choose, rather than get into a holy war with you in the SuSE thread, to instead ask a "How's the weather in your area today" kind of question to get some discussion going, at the time I didn't really care about the weather though so I just asked about the support questions.
that OK?
Anyone going flying today? I'm out of work in a few minutes and can't wait to get in the air!

Other people were talking about what they used, so I threw my two cents in. There's nothing wrong with a newbie trying to learn an OS that doesn't make everything point and click. Maybe he wants to try something like that? The point is, we don't know.
