You can do that stuff way faster on a Linux box. And with a lot less
risk and hassle.

Linux is generally crap. I know because I installed it on a couple of my
machines. It caused more problems using that crap and utilizing software
than anything I have ever seen. Pure garbage. Just about like that other
computer operating system called the Mac. I wouldn't have a Mac for
toilet paper. Every Mac I saw ran like crap and you couldn't do 1/3 of
what you can do on a Windows based Machine. That comes from a lot of
personal experience with Mac based stuff back in the 90s and early part
of this decade.

It might be great now but back in those days they should have called it
Crap versus Mac.

Linux and Apple have their place, and with your comments I doubt you have
ever owned an Apple.

The HUGE benefit of Linux over say Vista is Linux is not DRM invasive.

I never owned an apple but I used to have a lot of experience running the
Apple/Mac system. I wasn't impressed with anything that it could allegedly
do. Personally it was like an overhyped Ipod phone or Touch. A lot of glitz
but little real performance. Not user friendly, not even for the novice. I
probably spent at least a year on that sort of a system and I was none too
impressed. Thats why Mac will never catch up to Microsoft in anything. The
only people I personally knew that used Macs were kids wanting to use it for
graphics. For business operations, office work, etc, it was never worth
anything. I wouldn't even give a Mac system the time of day for even audio
listening or multimedia video and audio.

If Macs were so proficient and useful, then why in the hell doesn't everyone
in the world switch to Macs. Since there is a free market in computers and a
great deal of industriousness and ingenuity in the computer industry, then
Macs should be right up there. Not to mention the facts are that a Microsoft
based system can be had for 300 to 1000 dolllars and a good one at that.

What does a Crap cost? I was in the local Apple store recently here in
Louisville KY. It was laughable that they wanted twice as much as any
Microsoft PC and with less performance capabilities, less general respect.
You'll see who buried who in the computer systems operating business
environment. It sure wasn't Mac. Probably more people use Linux than Mac and
thats sad.
