Iacobus Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I downloaded and installed (without messing anything up) Linux. Add that to my Dvorak keyboard and my chemistry nerdiness... I am the king of nerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand the way the font looks, nothing is WYSIWYG... the screen does not look like the print out. I like to call it Linsux It's like a rough draft of a good OS... it looks unfinished and unpolished. But if Microsoft goes "rentware" with Vista, then I might just migrate to Linux because it shold be well enough by then.

Iacobus Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 It isn't the best OS, I would take over Mac any day. I would also take Word over OpenOffice.org's Writer. The spell and grammar check in Word make OpenOffice look like Notepad.exe (not that there is anything wrong with that). It is an intresting OS, I like the looks of it but I am by far and away more used to and more comfortable with Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
