My OperaArch on an ULPC + Why Windows 7 irks me...
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 1:36:39 AM
Well, my system's hard drive failed. Pretty sad really.
So I had an Ultra Light PC lying around and decided it was time to become an Openbox ArchLinux purist.
Things are going well...
I want to lighten the kernel as much as possible.
I have a series of things I'd like to do to make my own Arch Based distro.
Oh, yes, Windows (Microsoft actually), I hate Windows 7.
It looks like KDE 4.2
See it?
You can google KDE 4.2 and see other shots.
Microsoft steals everything.
Vista was an attempt of theirs to do Compiz/Beryl/CompizFusion and Mac's 3D effects. Microsoft wasn't ready for that, so now they make things more "Simple".
Simple?
Isn't that the cry of a lot of linux heads?
Thanks for listening to us guys :]
Really, immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
The GNU sisters (GNU, Linux, BSD) must be slowly starting to put a hit on the "economically challenged". Apparently if OSx is now going for around 30-40$ and Win7 is right there in the same range.
Free OSes becoming so scary when our economy sucks?
They should.
We need this time where people are looking for cheaper alternatives.
Hopefully this will spark an Open Source revolution.
Cheers.
