Hi Tom -
some times ago I added SuSE-Linux-8.2 on my computer because I want to
learn it, am fond of it and am still learning to get an expert ... :-)

I _have to_ use WinXP because Photoshop is my preferred tool for my
foto hobby. I tried Gimp but the handling is not comparable.

I _have to_ use Win98 because there is a very special circuit in my
computer (ADR digital music) which is only running with that system.

Now, what about the terms "fair, Linux Runner, Windows Weenie"?
What would you do if you have a factual question with Linux
denominations? I don't want that anybody helps in running my
3 systems - they are running. Only those questions remained.

Regards Udo

I'm a long way from being an expert. I just seem to be one because I
don't use KDE or the like. Most newcomers to Linux aren't learning Linux
these days, they are learning KDE. Which is a Windows-clone interface
and no challenge at all for someone who already knows Windows.

So they come to groups like this when they have problems that point-and-click
can't solve and think that knowledge they could obtain in a 1/2 hour
of study is amazing. It is very sad.

That's exactly the bad attitude I was referring to: If you used the Gimp
and communicated with the developers about feature requests and bugs
and sent them a fraction of the money that photoshop costs you, it
would improve.

But you don't want to do your share in making Linux better, you just
want to take.

I have great music, without KDE and without Win98. How could that be?

I don't get that.

I guess you mean "distros" by "denominations". I don't care about
distros. I run Linux. Slackware happens to be the cleanest and
most efficient and easiest to run distro, so OS is based on it.

You'll be back to this and/or other Linux groups. To take and
then run off again.

Very likely posting under different names so nobody will notice
that you only take and don't give.

Tom

That's the first sensible thing I've seen you post.
