Linux Several days ago I wrote a rather scathing article about my utter dismay and disappoint with Mandrake 9.1 and by association, Linux as a whole. Since then I have had many many flames and equally as many agreeing emails (is there a simple opposite word for flame?) Since then I have been trying, really really trying to get my system working fully. But time and again I'm coming up against the same brick wall of (un)usability, computer esotericism and down right idiocy.

Isn't it Ironic

Isn't it ironic how the zealots work?

some_guy: windows crashed on me again

zealot: use LINUX, it RULEZ

*insert some article about how great linux is and how close it is to beating microsoft on the desktop*

some_guy: maybe I'll try

some_guy: nope, it's not working, and I don't understand what all these strange cryptic errors mean. I think they're in arabic or something. And what about... etc, etc...

zealot: you fool. why are you using linux if you cannot do something so simple as recallibrating the discombobulation array! go back to windows you whiny baby.
