10 reasons to love Ubuntu, Performance, performance performance

Of course he does. All his protests to the contrary are just more lies.

More bullshit from Hadron (but of course).


Define handsomely.  Do they get paid as much as Canonical system
administrators (as opposed to programmers), for example?


LHC's famous reading uncomprehension at work.


For most documents, yes, it is.


We've already noted that it doesn't work so well in XP.

Nope.  Not at all.

Mr. Zeigler, I would advise you to be more circumspect in your critique of
the LHC's rendered opinion, lest you offend the IQT's Victorian
sensibilities.  Your brusque and peremptory retorts have a certain
probability of inducing alterations in the nature of the {*filter*}'s anal
emissions.

By the way, here's nice little summary of Canonical, in, of all places, a
Vista site:

Also funny is the "Last Articles" side-bar.  For a Vista site, they're sure
pushing Windows 7 pretty hard.

   The Palm Pre, apparently short for premature ejaculation. Microsoft
   didn't even try this year. Hey Ballmer, how's that Surface
   selling? And Windows Home Server, and Zune, and so on. Is Vista really
   going to dazzle once you scrape off the more atrocious bits and call it
   Windows 7, FOUR YEARS LATER?

Indeed so. Xubuntu and Windows XP worked equally bad on all Celerons we
had last year. Those OS got replaced with BSD and Debian - no X.

DFS < XXXX@XXXXX.COM > said on 2009-01-16:



In my experience *buntu and XP are really slow on old Celerons and
~512MB memory. Whether one can bear that speed is always upto the
degree of patience one has.


There could be may variables playing a role in what a user identifies
as download speed. A 100 MB file downloaded on the same DSL line by
Windows/IE and Unix/`wget` could give significantly different times.
Although a 5 times difference is difficult to digest without
investigating the issues.


We are now stepping into the variety in human nature. Not all are
money minded, but some definitely are - some just want a raise in pay,
a big number on their W2.


While quite a few FOSS are just junk, some are exceptional - think of
Apache! But yes, the development on such good FOSS requires a
dedicated and skillful team. $0 paycheck can, often times, produce bad
end product and may result it 'go fix yourself' attitude. I am sure
developers of successful software such as Apache, or proprietary
software like .NET framework, must be very skillful and top notch.


Ah, now this is possible. Whether or not the OP saw that actually happen, I
don't know, but it is possible for Ubuntu to boot up in about a minute
and Windows XP could take up to 5 minutes depending on the amount of
startup programs it may have. In my experience, such boot up
differences have not occurred on new hardware with a well installed
OS.

That sounds right. FOSS equivalent to Office is something I would love
to see. Oo is good but still not as good as Office suite.

A reasonable response?  Cool.  You are - clearly - not a Linux advocate; 
{*filter*} reasoning is beyond the majority of them.

After takin' a swig o' grog, DFS belched out
  this bit o' wisdom:




Nah, DFS.


It can be.  It regularly is on one of the XP boxes I use -- click on a local
drive or a local folder in a Visual Studio dialog box, and you get a
half-minute hourglass.  Unbearable.

So much so that, on that box, I do file access through cygwin instead.


I typically see only 2x fast download speeds with Linux.

Of course, the difference might be greater if you run apps that are slower
at managing downloads.


Total bullshit.  First, there's a wide range of passion and ability on both
sides.

Second, there's no reason at all to say that Microsoft developers are more
dedicated to their craft.  None at all.

Third, people who have a passion for their craft do good code.  And, because
of that, some of them also attract better pay.


On both systems, missing network resource can substantially increase the
boot time.


If true (doubtful), so what?  You can reverse it an claim some Linux
functionality that Windows doesn't have.

And even there were some major apps with no equivalents, that's simply a
marketing issue, not a technical issue.

Face it, DFS, you engage in the same drooling lies that you accuse in
others.  You're insanely jealous of Linux functionality, and it shows.
