firstly i HAVE tried all that i could to get Crunchbang to operate in a capacity that i see fit to use. to automatically assume that someone is too lazy to find solutions is quite honestly rather rude, and does not bode well with putting across a good image for Linux users. it smacks of elitism, and it's very ugly indeed.<div>
<br></div><div>also with regard to the comment about browser offerings: you DO realise that Chrome, Opera, Firefox all have Windows counterparts (which are the offerings i was referring to).</div><div><br></div><div>I haven't touched MSIE for about 5 years.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you read my comments in context, it would've been blatantly obvious which browsers i was referring to.</div><div><br></div><div>to again return to the comment about "laziness" and the shortcomings, if any open source software is to gain any kind of momentum amongst the "average joe" user, then it needs to be attractive to that end user. having a browsing experience that is slower than that of the SAME browser running in a closed source operating system is not going to be that attractive.</div>
<div><br></div><div>and just to make sure there is no confusion with that statement, i am indeed referring to the difference between Firefox running under a Linux based operating system and Firefox running under a well known closed source operating system that seems more and more like a swear word on here by some.</div>
