Unix/Linux sucks, big time, nothing beats Windows.
In our place 2 Linux guru try to change our system to Linux, guess what, 4 days later my boss kicked the out, why is so good to be useless OS ~?
No one can use it, nothing compatible, if we buy all our system new, from a small range of specific brand, retrain all workers, have all other office use the exact same system, than it might work, no guaranty. Oh if you think Linux is free than you are WRONG.

I agree with hatehatelinux. I have but one point…

Yes, it’s free. OK, I get that. But if it’s so “fucking good”, why isn’t it the dominant operating system used by everyone (businesses and home users)alike?

The answer?

NO ONE FUCKING UNDERSTANDS THE SHIT!!!

Rock on hatehatelinux….ME TOO!!!

high all i am an xp person. i tried to switch to ubuntu thru wubi, but the shit just doesn’t work. program loads and asks me for name and password, then this ass of a program acts like it’s about to load and then nothing happens. it’s like a bitch that gets necked after you’ve spent time on her and she doesn’t put out. i like the youtube videos but this bitch sucks! to add, all of the forums suck as well. they don’t give no help at all, fucking losers. i’ll read one forum referring back to my issue, “After Ubuntu login i see blank screen”. i went through twenty damn forums and every last one did not help at all what the fuck. never had this problem with windows so thats i’m going to stick with. fuck linux, fuck ubuntu!

very easy to install Oh yes
but I cannot use it
In the beginning a password is asked
after installation the password is not recognized
also the keyboard is changed from azerty to qwerty
I had no way to change this (although this was promised in the publicity)

When I select ubuntu over windows I get this and the whle process just freezes

booting ‘find/wubi/boot/grub/menu. lst’

being a Linux newbie I dont have a clue.. though I have messed around with ‘live’ versions and now i finally decide to install and this happens..

Wil I have been trying to run wubi but I also get the blank screen at bootup like Jen.. At first it started to run the sequence after selecting Ubuntu but then after I turned my back it just went blank.. Not to mention this distro says it is a fast and easy install.. Just get a cup of coffee and come back and poof in is finished, sadly I came back and it was downloading a full CD if info from the net and then proceeded to install VERY SLOW AND LABORIOUS not exactly the qick cup of coffee they advertise. I hope someone can help me find why this is going blank at boot.. I already have my 2 hard drives partitioned and should have just stuck regular ubuntu on one of those.. BTW Will wubi work on a FAT 32? Linux ext3? any suggestions other than uninstalling and never looking back? Thanks Joe

i’ve been using wubi for some time. it convinced me to switch to linux. i would migrate via lvpm but you need another free partition to do.

i should mention two things though. upgrading wubi from ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 causes some issues at this point. and awhile ago i toasted my windows bootup file. i couldn’t bootup by selecting linux. it would seem wubi still uses windows’ boot.ini to boot linux.

and jen you should be able to remove the “dual boot turd” by simply editing your boot.ini file.

I really good linux installation is not reducing the windows partition size it’s deleting windows partitions…

I have never heard about wubi. I think it’s easier to install a real Ubuntu since Ubuntu is reducing NTFS partition sizes.

I’ve tried wubi on several different systems and it never worked for me. It booted into a completely black screen. I was excited about it till it didn’t work. Even when you uninstall wubi it leaves the dual boot turd when starting up.
