Thanks for proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Linux is a HUGE TIME
WASTER!!

Why does Linux need so many damm different distributions?

Is it because not a single one of them actually works completely?

It must be or you Linux dweebs wouldn't have to keep switching
distributions more than you change your underwear.

Linux = The Great Time Waster

How so? Care to expound? Is it that you just can't think out of your
Windows box world?

Because it's open source, so if one group gets an idea how to make it
better, they can, rather than being stuck with what Bill and his minions
decide is best for you?

Different ones have different features. Find the one that works for you...

I've been running SuSE for almost two years now.

And, we can upgrade when we WANT, not when Bill and his legions decide
they need to change the world in order to make more Cha-Ching!

How would he pay for it? An unemployed idiot too stupid to sweep the parking
lots can't afford more therapy than a bottle of the cheapest booze

I wish to apologize to COLA for the errant behavior of our wayward
daughter. She suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, and sometimes she
gets out of control.

She shall be soundly whipped until this spirit of defiance is driven
from her wracked body.

Beat her about the head and facial area, hit her real hard!

That is the point you moronic dummy. Finding one that WORKS is a
challenge.
You are too stupid to know that you prove Karta's point again.

Can you really be such a moron?
