I Went To Alot Of Posts And Said To Quite A Few People The Following: Re-Format Your Computer And Install Either Open Source Linux Ubuntu 7.10 RTW, And/Or Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support Alpha 6, Just FYI. I Want You To Know That I Was Out Of Line. Just FYI. My Doctor Called And Made An Emergency Delivery Of More Medication So I Won't Be Such A Pain. Just FYI.
Just FYI. If You Are A Geek, You Can Install Ubuntu. If You Are A Shut-In Like Alias, You Can Install Ubuntu. My Psychiatrist Said That Most People Who Use Ubuntu Are Not "Right" If You Know What I Mean. Just FYI. You Really Need To Use Vista Or Go Back To Windows XP If Vista Isn't Working. Just FYI. To Use Ubuntu Means You Are Sick.
You want to install software using Ubuntu? Synaptic is a graphical front-end to apt, the package management system in Ubuntu. It combines the point-and-click simplicity of the graphical user interface with the power of the apt-get command line tool. With windows, insert the CD or DVD and it autostarts. If not, you can click SETUP on the media. then click next and it installs. No command lines. No wonder why 99.999999% of the users reject Ubuntu as garbage. It is garbage.
My hard drive went south so I had to reinstall Ubuntu. I timed it and it took exactly one hour to install Ubuntu, download and install 124 updates, all the programs I use and tweaking Compiz Fusion to my liking. Windows XP, OTOH, on the same drive, took DAYS to finish.
My HP system was built with Vista in mind and has been working flawlessly for a year and a half. It runs better than XP and takes one awful beating from me and my system is on all the time with sleep engaged, waking up to perform tasks on it's own very reliably. I really do not know what people are bitching about! Just lucky I guess.
My question has to do with Virtual PC, I have tried 2004 and 2007 and have the same problem with both. In trying to install Ubuntu Linux there just not seem to be a way to get the display resolution correct. In VPC during the install VPC reports that the guest OS has selected a resolution too wide for the screen. I have tried all three resolution options in the VPC setup without sucess. XP installs in VPC perfectly. Linux and XP install perfectly in Virtual Box. Virtual Box has some issues with virtual disk size that I have been unable to resolve or I would just use Virtual Box from Sun systems. and Virtual Box runs much more quickly than VPC.

the main audience is "Vista" users. People who already spent a lot of money for an operating system, which they do want to use now. Ubuntu has a clear right of existence in it's area, but not in this group. If you like it better, fine. But don't try to spread your "religion" here when someone asks for help about a Vista problem.
Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.04 LTS RTM'ed On The Same Day As Windows XP SP3 RTM (April 21st, 2008), Just FYI. P.S. Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.04 LTS RTW's On April 24th, 2008, And Windows XP SP3 RTW's On April 29th, 2008, Also Just FYI.
Ubuntu, it is generally well known, as being behind Windows Vista or 7 in the sales department, possibly on a scale of about 50-1. Normally, sales indicate popularity on a product. We can also assume from these figures that volume of sales could also indicate a certain quality of that product.
Therefore, on that assumption, the 50-1 deficit that Ubuntu lags behind in the sales department, is possibly not even the 2nd best nor even the 3rd or 4th best OS come to think of it. I therefore pondered on this question. Why on earth should I settle for second best, let alone third or fourth best? If they can afford it, most people in life want the best. That is why I will be buying Windows 7 this month...........
It seems that people who troll here have nothing better to do. They think Ubuntu is the greatest product since sliced bread. Yet they come here day after day, trying to get people to switch to that inferior product. Ubuntu is for nerds. The reason they come here is they can't use Ubuntu so they do the next best thing. Come to the vista group and try to get people to convert. Most people are smart enough to see through all that crap. People want to use their Windows Vista or Windows XP. They don't need or want some stupid piece of crap like Ubuntu.
Question: How to use Ubuntu Live CD using LAN. I want to access my dead vista laptop using my windows xp desktop with the use of ubuntu live cd, is this even possible? Vista Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. Can no longer boot up after vista update. Microsoft Windows Vista Community Vistaheads.
Alias is getting a big hard on ( well for Alias it's big, but in the scheme of things 1 inch isn't much) about the new release of that INFERIOR Opetating System Ubuntu, Spicy Sphincter or whatever it's called. One thing for sure, Ubuntu is WORTHLESS for 99.999% of the population out there because Ubuntu doesn't run any of their software. Alias is the Ubuntu Marketing Department and Alias is a lost mental soul. He believes that he can convert users to that piece of crap when in reality
Ubuntu knows that almost everyone hates Ubuntu and refused to run that piece of crap, so they pulled out all stops and they gave Alias the green light to step up marketing their INFERIOR product. Alias is the Marketing Department for Ubuntu. We will continue to get daily count-down posts because will all the money they are paying Alias (NOTHING), he came up with brilliant strategy. Blanket the Vista Forum with a daily count down of their release of their next INFERIOR product.
People here are smart enough not to use that crappy Ubuntu in any form. Alpha, Beta, or Release. Ubuntu is still the same crap. Doesn't run the popular software programs out there. Most reject Ubuntu as garbage.
I Have Been Playing With Ubuntu Beta For The Last Few Days, Just FYI And I Can't Do Anything With Ubuntu. Just FYI. Ubuntu Is Pretty Stupid. Just FYI. I Think I Will Reinstall Windows Vista And Then Upgrade To Service Pack 1 On All My Machines. Just FYI. That Will Give Me Something To Do For The Rest Of The Day And Evening. Just FYI. There Is Weather Outside So I Want To Stay Inside. Just FYI
Alias is quite a two face. Shame on the corporations making money, while he yachts it away on monies made installing Ubuntu. ITN News: MADRID - Air pollution has long been a fact of life in Spanish cities, but scientists now say it is not just smog that chokes people as they walk to work or stroll through the park. A new study has found the air in Madrid and Barcelona is also laced with atleast five drugs - most prominently cocaine.
The Superior Council of Scientific Investigations, a government institute, said on its Web site Thursday that in addition to cocaine, they found trace amounts of amphetamines, opiates, cannabinoids and lysergic acid - a relative of LSD - in two air-quality control stations, one in each cities. With the amount of WEED Alias smokes and the drugs in the air, Alias' brain has been fried. No wonder why Ubuntu does well in Spain, they are too stoned to know any better. My mom has recently returned from France & Spain, and is not too impressed. Homeless, poor and one woman tried to snatch my mom's purse in daylight. Congratulations Alias. Yours is a truly developed country.
I just had a motherboard go south on an AthlonXP 2200+ machine. So, I removed the hard drive thinking I would have to reinstall Ubuntu on its new machine, an AthlonXP 3000+ machine with a different video card, MB, NIC in a different PCI slot and a fax modem in a different PCI slot. So, I fired up the computer and didn't hit F11 soon enough to boot from the Ubuntu CD and much to my surprise, Ubuntu loaded as if nothing had happened.
I thought I would download the new Ubuntu 8.04 and give it a try because all the Ubuntu nut jobs were saying how cool Ubuntu is with their new release. I installed Ubuntu on my machine. I tried Open Office Spreadsheet. I thought I would try to enter a Macro then run it. I then had to install Java to be able to run a macro. If I didn't know that I needed to use Synaptic to figure out how to get the Java update, I would be screwed along with many others who try this crap. Just FYI
OK, so Java installs. BFD. It works but it isn't that good. Now, lets play some music. I navigated to bobrivers.com to play a tune. I was prompted to install some more updates. Fine. Did that. The install went OK. Then I had to install a couple more updates. That went fine. Now I clicked on the song to play and the page just froze.
No wonder why Ubuntu is such a piece of crap. Can't play a simple tune from a web page. Now in Vista, I could navigate right to the page, play the song and I would be as happy as a clam in a whorehouse.
If You Fall For The New Ubuntu Hype, You Are A Retard Because Ubuntu Offers Nothing New. Just FYI. Ubuntu Doesn't Run Any Decent Programs. Just FYI. Ubuntu Is In A Small Number Of PC's. Just FYI. Ubuntu Is A Total Waste Of Time And Effort. Just FYI. I Use Windows Vista RTM And SP1 And I Have On My Other Machine Windows 2008 Server. Just FYI. My Dad Said That If I Continue To Use Ubuntu Then I Am A Retard. Just FYI.
Douche bag, is considered to be a pejorative term in Australia, the United States, Canada and New Zealand. The slang usage of the term dates back to the 1960s. The metaphor of identifying a person as a douche is intended to associate a variety of negative qualities, specifically arrogance and malice. In Vista.General forums, Douche Bag is usually associated with, Alias, NoStop, oh great, and kevpan815 who always post negative crap about Vista and try to convert users to Ubuntu.
I Am Running Ubuntu And I Don't Know What To Do With Ubuntu. It Just Sits There. Just FYI. I Will Wipe Ubuntu Clean And Install Windows Vista. Just FYI
Is it possible? If so, how do I do it? I probably need detailed instructions, although I am an experienced computer (my career) and Windows person. (3.1 on up).I have a new Dell Vostro 220 with Home preinstalled. No Vista DVD; just the recovery DVD and partition.I am presently running Vista Home Basic, with Ubuntu 8.10 running as a program under Vista.I no longer run Win 2000 because I wanted to try just Vista. However, Vista won't install and/or run all my old programs (even after adjusting for oldness) and I miss many of them, such as PSP6 and others.Therefore I want to run a triple boot system, so I can:
(a) Use Vista and later Windows 7 if it is better. (b) Continue to play with Ubuntu. (I mainly use the games.) (c) Use my old pgms (mostly gfx) with Win2000.
Can I do this? Or is there a better, still free, way? I live on Social Security, so I can't upgrade many/any old pgms. I am happy with my oldsters (I'm old too; I'll be 70 in less than 2 weeks) and I want to use them as they are if possible.
I have been playing with Ubuntu guest virtual machine on Vista host.I am toying with the idea of dual booting and installing it properly. Can I run an Ubuntu Live CD on a Vista machine (to check whether all my hardware is compatible, etc) without it affecting my Vista installation in any way ? As I understand it, I will just be booting from the CD without putting anything on my hard disk at all.But I would seek assurance that it really isn't going to do me any harm.
If I decide that my hardware is OK (its a fairly high spec machine running Vista Ultimate 64 bit) what is the best way to go about it? I have a 750Gb disk which I reckon I can afford to give 200Gb to Ubuntu. Should I repartition from windows? Do I need another program (if so what?) or does Windows itself handle this? How do I install Ubuntu but still retain control over which operating system I want to run? Vista will still be my main OS. I don't particularly want ubuntu to have control of the booting process.....
With Windows 7 being such a hit, Ubuntu will slide further down the gutter than it has before. Millions are using Windows 7 and within one year, 50% of businesses should be using Windows 7. So what is left for Ubuntu? Geeks and other misfits will use Ubuntu. Oh yea, the poor will also use Ubuntu.
