That should read "I agree, use Linux and load the inferior operating systems USING virtual box, Xen<br>
or Wine." damn you keyboard.<br><br>This would make an interesting discussion at the Next Liverpool LUG. Could we table in a discussion slot about Linux and Microsoft support on the Liverpool LUG. We could then make it clear to new members where we stand to save any further embarrasment. It should produce a good slanging match if nothing else.</blockquote>
<div><br>If we're interested in a good controversy, then I could declare that I'm getting increasingly frustrated with Linux and am considering doing the opposite - i.e. switching to Windows/OSX and running Linux in CoLinux or a virtual machine.<br>
<br>What's not to like?<br><br> - power management that works (all the time, and with decent battery life/running temperature)<br> - wireless networking that works (all the time)<br> - sound that works (all the time. Yes, for all apps. Yes, even flash. And skype. At the same time!)<br>
- extrernal monitor detection, screen rotation, without having to manually fap with xrandr.<br> - and a powerful and usable interface in the hosted Linux (*) <br><br>(*) Yes I find Gnome + xterm + bash + aptitude an incredibly productive environment. But as you can tell, I'm far too stupid to actually get my thinkpad x61t working quite smoothly enough with ubuntu...<br>
