My trusty Ubuntu (a rapidly ageing Edgy Eft) had been behaving somewhat erratically the last few days – it seemed to do things to my default desktop settings.
Today it just wouldn’t open any graphical (X) sessions any more. Which after a long day at work is not what you like to see.
If this happened in Windows (ie the blue screen of death) i’d have to get the CD and try to have it fix the problem. Total helplessness.
With Linux, you log on to a no-frills terminal, and you set to looking for what went wrong. You may still be helpless, but at least you have the feeling you’re doing something about it.
Now admit that you’re jealous.
Can you tell this was posted with Lynx ?
(only joking ! i’m not that masochistic – i got X talking again by messing around a bit)
And that is why i prefer linux! If something goes wrong you know WHAT goes wrong, no cryptic error number on a bluescreen where you get an explanation that does not tell you anything.
Love to hear you are a Linux fan. I’m jealous. But happy with my mac at the same time. Next computer should be linux…
