A mature product:junglizm said:plz explain. linux is far more mature than windows, just has a steeper learning curve. just cuz you can't click install.exe and have it deon for you doesn't make in an immature OS. i think nix in general has proven itself quite well in the busisness world. granted it's not for everyone's home use, and can be very annoying if you don't know what you're doing.
p.s. i'm not questioning your linux ability, just your statement.
it's easy to install and operate. it would be no harder to learn linux than to learn windows after using mac all your life or the reverse.voiceofreason said:A mature product:
1) is easy to install and operate
www.sourceforge.net , linux has apps for everything win/mac does. if you posted what you use windows for on a day to day basis, i'm sure i could point you in the direction of a linux app that does the same.voiceofreason said:2) has a deep catalog of user applications
linux is more accesable than any other OS being open source and available for free download(with out pirating)voiceofreason said:3) is accessible to the masses

By your definition, HP-UX and Solaris are not mature products because they are not easy to install and operate. I beg to differ. Not all operating systems are designed for use by your great aunt Myrtle.voiceofreason said:A mature product:

NoSubstance said:I use Windows XP. I'd try out other OS's, but my family would FREAK at the mere mention of it.
However, I've had Windows XP crash/freeze only twice, and I think I've had this computer at least three years. It's perfect for what I need it for: Fucking around on WTF.com![]()
