    Real men use Linux.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,110 ✭✭✭Thirdfox


    Real tough men use Unix


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,763 ✭✭✭Fenster


    BSD is great, but Linux has a much wider support base for the home user.

    Ergo, real men use Linux.

    Also, you should prob move this thread to Comp&Tech, where it will no doubt cause a massive argument resulting in a lock.

    Poor us, you mean. She ignores all her other toys as she'd rather play on our computers - she both youtube lolcats especially - and at 18 moths is able to use a mouse to scroll through a webpage. When she wants to be she can be incredibly focused and attentive, but we've found there's little outside of our computers that actually engages her.

    I figure, why not? We'll educate Caira, entertain her and maybe future-proof her all at once.

    EDIT: And knowing how to work through a CLI is a hugely important thing in computing, and will remain so.

    I just spent 4 minutes watching that. Terrible keying out in it!!!

    Katie, do you want this in the Mac forum? If not, Comp & Tech is the place for it!

    Jebus. First time moving anything to this category. Katie, I'm sure your lads will enjoy it more than the windows lads :)

    Me ?! I have no doubt about my Osuality . . . . Mac all the way. Windows is for those who know no better, Linux is for those who are Bi-OSual :D

    I dunno why this is here tbh. But moving it so Comp&Tech would only make life more difficult me thinks. Perhaps it is best to leave it fizzle out here.
