LXer: What Not to Buy Yourself for Christmas
Published at LXer:
From the article... Operating Systems: Don't buy: Linux. The world's cheapest operating system is the darling of every do-it-yourselfer and the potential bane of every cheapskate user. You'll save money and, I bet, lose your mind if you switch to Linux. Note to DIYers: This advice is intended for middle-of-the-road tech consumers. You, with the screwdriver in your hand, please feel free to download as many copies of Ubuntu as you want. [I think I figured this one out.

What a joke...I just finished installing Mint (Ubuntu in some different clothes)---far easier to install and configure than Windows ever was.
I see Lance Ulanoff as just a stooge for the establishment. Note: (in spare time, check relationships with Fox News, PC MAg, and Redmond) |
Lance Ulanoff is the BIGGEST IDIOT that PC Mag has ever hired. And given some of their idiots, this is truly a colossal achievement. He is beyond clueless about anything that is not created and blessed by Microsoft, and generally should be ignored.
The fact that he has attained the position of chief editor of PC Mag should tell you what a complete waste of trees it has become. |

Man, what a retarded "article".
He also seems to think everyone has the cash to give away HDTVs and widescreen laptops for Christmas. |

Eh--the article was lighthearted. Who reads such a list for real information? Notice that his comments on Linux had the only disclaimer in the article:
