well if you have never been under the hood of nix

Post #52,660 by boxley 9/21/02 7:45:59 PM Reply	well if you have never been under the hood of nix the x install if it doesnt work via a probe is sucky as shit and as intuitive as my non technical posts. I have had to hack the xconfig file for off breed cards the drivers cant identify. Cant expect Norm to get it right off the top. Isnt the point to be able to use the tool for the job as opposed to using the tool cause it is cool? thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] qui mori didicit servire dedidicit

I'm talking about his continuous wailing and gnashing of teeth, yet persistent refusal to say what video card won't work on what motherboard. That's just whining for the sake of it, rather than an attempt to get some of the very clever people who read this board to help.

RTFM Norm! Yeah I did, now what, it didn't work. Give me the error, "Missing Fixed Width Font", not specific enough, it would be nice if it told me what font it found missing now would it? Rather than use your infinte knowledge and give me some things to try, or ask me to send to configuration files via email, you just call me a whiner instead. Thanks so much Peter, calling me a whiner has magically made my Red Hat Linux 7.3 work again. At least, in Virtual PC 4.2 under Windows 2000 Server, not on the two other workstations that I wanted it on, but oh well, what can you do when you are a "fucking whiner" because the software is not working with the hardware? You seem to forget that I am trying to move over to Linux, yet you keep confusing me with one of those foaming at the mouth Pro-Microsoft fanbodys going on an AntiLinux rant. Gee I wonder why the rest of the world hasn't adopted Linux yet? It seems like such an easy to use OS, with nice and friendly people on the Internet who go out of their way to help you, and not treat you like a redheaded stepchild and call you names or anything when you ask for help, tell them the problems you had, and spell the name of a product wrong. Gee I wonder why it is that so many people switch back to Windows? ;) *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*

Might I suggest that the Flame forum is equally valid for value-free venting over things - e.g. Linux! - as well as people. Wade. "Ah. One of the difficult questions."
