If I give you a clear cut example from FR will you leave again for another week?

No but I can quote you saying ie is perfect..

Or will you take that back and admit that even on FR there are linux idiots out there.

There are Linux, windows, and OSX idiots everywhere? I have never seen someone say that OSS is perfect..

But on top of that I think you're still missing the point that linux bigots spout off as fact what is actually just opinion. .... Say what you will about B2K, he does often back his info up with links and hard core facts.

Umm I have had discussions with him in which he said that you had to go into the command line and type obscure things to update a Linux box... I posted screen shots of my desktop using a standard redhat/fedora gui tool to update that is as easy as Windows update... B2K post his opinions and 5 year old facts not much more...

Linux as a desktop for the common users is a big fat joke.

Speaking of opinion..

This is a serious question. It's about about 18-24 months since I played with Linux as a desktop. I was trying to update KDE, but I ended up playing find that library game. You know you load one library just to have it say...now go find these 4 libraries. Then you find one of those and it says go find these 6 libraries. Needless to say I gave up on linux as a desktop replacement when i couldn't even upgrade KDE.

Have they improved that on all builds of linux yet or is it still a search and hunt type operation?
