How I define "elegant" ...

Running a file system that is journaled so that your data is protected from
power outages for example.

Running a file system that doesn't require defragging.

Running a file system where it doesn't matter how many drives you have they
are all mounted under the root file system. Even drives on other computers
on your LAN or across the Internet.

Being able to run a GUI application remotely across your LAN or across the
Internet.

Having access to over 20,000 software packages at the click of a mouse,
downloaded and installed from the Internet. All free.

Being able to completely remove a software package without fear that bits
have been left behind.

Having all your system configuration stored in plain text documents so you
can edit them locally or from across the Net.



Having detailed logs of just about everything your computer is doing.

Being able to run an operating system on a wide variety of platforms, not
just Intel hardware.

Running a true multi-user operating system and being able to access user
accounts from anywhere in the world.

Being able to run an operating system on something as simple as a standalone
router all the way to a cluster of super computers and most anything in
between.

Being able to run a computer connected to the Net and not worry about any
malware.

Being able to mount a directory that exists on some other computer across
the world and have the directory look and act like it was on your own hard
drive/desktop.

Having up to 16 independent desktops, each running applications and with a
mouse wheel switch between them.

Being able to jump between an assortment of different window
managers/desktops, all running concurrently with a simple CTL-ALT-Fx.

Being able to mount an ISO, so that it looks like a CD/DVD.

Having access to a command prompt that makes one line commands do everything
from ripping DVDs to changing video files from mpeg, avi, flash, quicktime.

Being able to run the most advanced 3d desktop with very little resource
demands.

Having 175 processes running and no slowdown in any app one is running.

Having the ability to devote virtual memory to a drive partition.

Being able to run a complete GUI operating system from a CD or a flash
drive.

Being able to clone a hard drive, move it to another machine and have your
whole operating system and data up and running on another computer, even
with a different chipset.

Being able to run the operating system on all your computers in your home or
business and even give away copies to friends, all for free.

Being able to listen to your media without being encumbered with DRM.

Being able to build an SQL based database of all your music on your local
computer or across your LAN for instant playback.

Being able to stay on the leading edge of operating system innovations with
upgrades available every 6 months rather than every 6 years.

Being able to control *all* aspects of a remote computer using a common web
browser.

The list goes on and on. Man, is Linux ever great and "elegant".

Love and Kisses,
Doris

I can't tell from this post?

Yeah... but you forgot:

Having a learning curve so steep that self-absorbed malcontents who master
it think it's OK to look down their noses at folks who use Windows.

Hum-bug. It's fanatics like you who scare people AWAY from Linux. You just
don't get it...

I'm a newbie to Linux Ubuntu and I find it very user friendly. I also
find that the support by experienced users is MUCH more friendly than
from the Microsoft Boys and Girls. Your mind set regarding Linux is
about five years old.

That's a pretty funny statement considering I'm running Ubuntu here on a
laptop and in a VM. Got Solaris and SUSE running in VM's too. My mind set
regarding Linux is fine; I'm not anti-Linux, I've never posted a negative
comment in this NG regarding Linux.

If you consider my dig at DD to be anti-Linux, then I think you need to read
a little deeper, to get at the true meaning of what I posted. Sorry, but I
won't spell it out for you.

And speaking of five year olds... your comment to Colin Barnhorst, one of
the most level headed, and most helpful, folks to -ever- post in this NG of
"you want some cheese with that whine."? Yeah, that was mature and friendly.

Oh Doris, your delusional again. Elegant is what you used to call your
hair style, but alas, that too is long gone.

Seems like it is you Lang who are looking down. If you are able to run
Linux, why do you think others cannot master it? Are you superior? I, on
the other hand, think that most computer users with a little effort, can
learn to use Linux and see all the elegance this operating system has to
offer.
