As I recall, Linux has crashed on me exactly three times in the last five
years. And each time it was a hardware problem.

I'm still convinced it is Compiz and Pulse Audio that are responsible for
the majority of hangs, crashes etc.
They are moving too fast with eye candy and need to focus on how well the
eye candy actually works with the other programs.

I would agree with that. Just as I can say the same about windows 2k, XP, and
Vista. NT4 and ME, not so much :)

In 4.5 years, Windows Server 2003 has never crashed on me (after I installed
a graphics card - one game used to crash using onboard video).

Listen to Jeb! Apparently all the best games run on Linux! Listen to
Halliwell who thinks that new games are "rubbish" and that Jet Set Willy
is more entertaining than Bioshock!
For people that dont know, here is Bioshock:

Nexuiz is excellent. Its like Quake 3 but free. Quake 3 was released
almost 10 years ago.

That's three times too many. The responsible developers should be taken
out and shot!

Win2K, maybe. Vista, I don't know or care. Windows XP, not a snowball's

Let me put it this way... This is the most reliable computer ever made. No such
computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. They are all, by any
practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.
....
It can only be attributable to human error.

Perhaps you didn't read my entire post - it's pretty damned hard to keep
the computer from crashing when you have hardware die!

I think he is suggesting that people in this group who profess not to
even use Windows stop telling lies about its stability. Simple enough.
All SW has glitches. Even (LOL!) Debian Stable which High Plains
Hypocrite seems to think has no issues since its "stable". Seriously,
you could not make that level of stupidity up.

As a user-driven OS, Linux would have more games if that's what its
userbase demanded. Most of us are too busy exploring and using the
25,000 free applications it puts right at our fingertips to need games
to occupy our time.
Some Linux developers have improved gaming capabilities in anticipation
of the consumer market, but I'm starting to wonder if that's going to be
necessary. Most home users would rather play highly graphical games on
their big LCD TV than on a tiny little computer monitor but it's messy
running the cables through the house. A gaming console that can sit next
to the TV is a simpler, cleaner solution and has the added benefit that
the hardware is optimized for gaming.

Personally, I always preferred the old text-based adventure games
followed by mind-strategy games like sokoban, but I haven't played them
for years now. Linux has me buried in compilers, interpreters, AI
languages, neural-network simulators, development tools, networking
tools, Internet applications, and the source code for 25,000
applications and my OS, all installable with a simple menu or
command. ****, who has time for *games*?
As for kids, would you rather your teenager spend 20 hours a week
playing games, or spend 20 hours a week teaching himself all about
databases, programming, networking, etc? When I install Linux for
someone, I don't usually have to do much more than show their kids how to
write a "hello world" program in ruby. About half are disinterested, but
the other half don't have *time* for games after that and may not see
sunlight for several weeks at a time. :-)

I never could get into Doom or any of the other highly graphical games,
except for the Myst genre and those probably would have been better as
text-based games. I prefer mind-bending problem-solving over real-time
action, and my own imagination is way better than anything that can ever
be put on a computer screen.

Oh god. Another clueless COLA head talking about things he knows nothing
about. A modern PC is a MUCH more powerful gaming platform than any
console. Much higher storage capacity, much more powerful video, much
higher resolution, much more memory. And dual head means you can still
play your games on that big TV quite easily should you want to. Most
people however choose not to because other members of the family are
..... watching TV.

People who know how to live a balanced life? Seriously what the hell are
you talking about suggesting that 25,000 apps (most of which are shelved

It's like saying "Holidays? I have a compiler to debug which is much

Jeb is like something that has arisen out of The Exodus.
A true Unix fossil.
I'll bet he has an amber screen strapped to his back and a pocket protector
complete with an assortment of IBM punch cards with notes on them.

Linux wouldn't exist if not for millions of developers and contributors
with exactly that attitude.
