Exactly the thinking that makes everybody love Bill Gates so much. Are you *listening* to yourself, man??? In any case, you can relax, there aren't two window managers. I don't know the count - a dozen or so, I think. C(the developer) - in response to a complaint about X on a systen that was not-too-fast and short on memory - suggested that he used.... "BlackBox", was it? (not an auspicious name)... something more "lean and mean" than KDE. But nooo, you want everybody to do it the way Betov likes it. .... > Hopefully, MenuetOS does not have a graphical Interface, does it? > > :)) "Jocking again"? Yes, MenuetOS has a graphical interface. Have you looked at it? (SF, I'm afraid) Stuff like "mov esp, 0FFFFH". Easily improved... I think there's a command line interface available as an add-on, but it's basically all GUI. .... > No. 2000 here, and i have absolutely no intention of buying > anything else. 2000 works fine, Original install? Or do you have to "reinstall system" occasionally? Can you run for weeks on end without having to reboot? Last Windows I ran - 98 - I didn't have to reinstall too often (roommates had to do it more often - and had to help Joe User... okay, Jane User... reinstall fairly often). I did have to reboot after two or three days, 'cause the system got slow - if it stayed up that long. My current uptime is only a little over eight days - power failure, IIRC. I almost *never* "have to reboot". Your mileage may vary. .... > Probably. Mind you, i searched for this, yesterday, and never > found out how to do it.

Some days, it seems to delight in finding unique reasons why I can't do what I want. I think it's a trolless. :) Best, Frank

You said: "i cannot shout at > volunteers free works", this is wrong. Oh, on that point, i would not refrain to talk in plain true words to the guys who do this and that. But, on a Forum, like these ones, this is useless to drop a baril of cold water on their anthousiasm and good will. Now, if i had an occasion of really discussing with a *developper*, yes, of course, i would say it in plain words, because the developpers need real feedbacks of the users. Not flattery.

From there, i suppose that the users' difficulties are collected, evaluated, and that reports go where they have go... Don't know if this is Dell or Ubuntu, and if Ubuntu, i do not know if this is an Azerty-Querty error or a problem with handling some passwords chars. I did not dig into, you know... :)) Betov. < http://rosasm.org >

Mind you, this was the very first idea of mines. The reason why i spoiled about 14 hours, at searching which stupidity i could have done, before understanding that it was a bug. And, mind you, like Frank said above, if a guy like me could do an "operator error" (whatever this could be), this still would be a problem to be fixed, for the designers. > Firefox destroyed the first big stumbling block, but distributions > like Ubuntu are the only serious hope for FSF/OSS to have any > considerable share of the desktop market. This is the answer to the very first questions i asked, here, about it, one or two weeks ago. After having seen, yes, there is a serious hope. If things go well, the market should make the choice among the damned "MyDistroIsBetterThanYours", and i see few reasons why a next gear-seller would choose anything else but Ubuntu. I hope that this will not happend, and that this "considerable share" will go on. Now, the question, to me, as long as i could be concerned... is "how long will it take?". How do you see it becoming, on one hand, a fully usable OS, and, on the other hand, to see it becoming the leading OS? How long? Betov. < http://rosasm.org > |
