I wouldn't want that to happen to my cock. I think it looks like as if it has some tumours in it. Besides, I don't know if it is possible at all to have enjoyable sex with it any more. Or it's gonna bleed inside all the time due to the movement and the inserted objects.

Just my opinion.

To be honest, Solaris 10 is primarily created for use as a server OS and I doubt it's anything special as a desktop. Solaris 10's application environment allows you to run native Linux applications on the OS. All in all, I'd reccomend you go with A Linux distribution as a desktop. I'd reccomend Fedora Core 4 or CentOS 4 to you mate. If you wanna read up about Linux distirbutions before you install them go to http://linuxquestions.org

That said, Windows still tops all Open Source software as a desktop, I've tried many many distributions and as a desktop cannot see any advantages of running a Linux desktop Vs a well maintained Windows desktop. If you have the time and wanna experiment, go ahead. I do however reccomend sticking with XP.

Same here. Nowadays I just stick to Linux as a server OS as I'm sick of the Gnome and KDE GUI. To be honest, in a desktop environment I just want to click to install something. I used Linux for a year, and although I liked it...al in all it was just an inconvenience. It took me like 30 minutes to get .wmv's to be able to play on mplayer, and it was buggy as shit. Whenever I wanted to install something, granted there'd be at least 20 dependencies I needed to compile before I could even install the software I needed. Not to mention that Windows emulators I needed for software like photoshop to run were shite.

Not worth the time at all.

I've been working my fucking bollocks off for weeks, I've had to make a short film for college.

It looks alright, but at the end of the day it has to be short and it's all about applying techniques I've learnt in college.

We finished last night, after 8 script rewrites in a week. Had a hot tub party me and my friends who helped out and it was fucking brilliant.

Everyone had to go and I stayed over, talking with Sophie (her house/hot tub/lead actress/very much my interest) until 5am in the hot tub.

I drank a bit too muchish though. I had 6 stellas, 3 big glasses of malibu and lemonade and 2 glasses (full) of jd......urgh...

I want to go back now ;p

Talking of Linux, and considering that this is the "Things that no-one cares about" thread then im gonna tell you this....

I got 40 copies of Linux: Ubuntu through my door the other day, they are free so I thought, why not.
Now I need to get rid of them somehow. I should of thought before getting them that I would have nothing to do with the CDs lol

Well, only worth the time for linux enhusiasts like me. I run linux as a desktop os for many years now, first because I didn't have a legal copy of windows, and I didn't want to use it illegally, then I got used to linux so much, that I didn't bother to switch. I do have a legal windows xp home by now, but only used rarely when there is something I cannot do on linux, e.g. 3D gaming, or running software that runs only on windows.

My mom also have linux on her desktop. That is because I've put it on her PC, and she is not an expert, and for browsing the Internet she is pretty satisfied with it. Besides I didn't want to spend the money to buy windows for her, and I don't want the trouble with illegal use.

If you have the time to spare, by all means.

Don't get me wrong, I love Linux. I wouldn't use anything else for my servers, but in my opinion it's more hassle than it's worth as a desktop.

Yes, I never recommend linux to users. Running Linux needs alot of knowledge about the system, otherwise users always run into trouble, starting with the installation, I.e. partitioning (while not losing the Windows partition, and the bootability of Windows), no sound, no gui (inproperly detected video card), no internet (how to set up pppoe), how to install additional packages, dependencies, how to compile stuff that is not in the distribution, having the flash plugin, java plugin in the browser, playing back music, videos.

And still, even with many years of experience I can still run into trouble, e.g. few weeks ago evolution (the e-mail program) just stopped working, started to crash all of a sudden. I couldn't read my mail for about two weeks until it turned out it was a library upgrade that broke it, and the new corrected package arrived.

I run Debian Testing (which is called Etch this year).

So, for a total newbie, like my mom, linux can be an option, if someone installs it, and regularly supports it/her. Otherwise it is still for geeks, who are happy with it.

Another problem is that if someone wants to migrate from Windows to Linux, his Windows knowledge worth nothing in the Linux world, it is a totally different system.

I agree. The best way to learn how to use Linux at first is to install it on a spare old PC. Start exploring the GUI, then start learning *nix commands and start compiling software. Before you know it you're custom compiling the latest kernel.

But anyway, I don't think the main problem with Linux has to do with new users as commands are fairly easy to learn and you can become pretty proficient with it if you play around in the terminal for long enough. The main thing is the inconvenience for most users migrating to Linux, as Windows is so damn convenient. But MS have compromised security by making an OS even grannies can use. It all depends on the person, like I said if you have the time you should go for it, if you're a new user prefferably on a spare old PC.
