Re: KDE/cygwin replaced my explorer.exe

hi guys
first, i am happy to hear that somebody used kde instead explorer. i will try it
secondly, to all arguing for windows/linux.

i am a active user of MS systems, and a system asistant. i am used many versions of it and see how secure or not is it. i can say that XP is most powerfull of them, but most crashable of them also.( I must say that i use total commander) for example explorer gave me an error 'cause of language bar, and immediately i lost desktop (task manager still can work), i could not find a way to get it back except reinstall windows. but if we ommit faults it the best.

and, I am a master student, and a programmer over 10 years. my university's student system is LINUX and i am using it minimum 5+1 years (system admin is my project teacher), and i know LINUX very well.

first of all, LINUX is designed for development, not general use, like UNIX. the best user of LINUX could be best programmer in the world. but not MS. if you want to install LINUX you should know programming also. (accept auto install packages) but for MS you shouldnt. even getting an x-window you should install many packages. redhat, slackware etc. comes with auto's, but you still face with many difficulties, IF YOU ARE AVARAGE USER. so it is not a user-friend OS so much.

i think, both are bullshit. because both of them requires many things.
but they do their jobs, and we must use them to do something. i like MS interfaces, file formats, disk managment, internet tips. i like LINUX's development style, speed, hardware usage (if it has installable :))), program managment. dont you have the same idea???? if not you dont know these systems. have a look on them. what parts you like.

i offer you to use a virtual PC program (vmware or virtualPC) and use both of them (one is virtual), or maybe a GUI like cygwin, winlinux for MS to emulate LINUX, or somthing like that(i forget names) to emulate MS on LINUX.
try this, because this is very usefull and funny. and teachs you much.

DO THIS ONLY IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD COMPUTER USER-DEVELOPER
OR DONT DO, IF YOU WANT TO BE ONLY A CLASSIC USER, AND ARGUE FOR THEM

have good programming days

and only ones can understand the difference which is best.
