  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

i'd like to get started on linux, just to see how much better it is. and when is lindows coming out?
Lindows is (i think) not free :sick:

good place to look is by searching through www.google.com/linux
try searching for 'mandrake', 'redhat', 'suse',

Linux is almost certainly available in your country. In any case, it is free to download, or $2-$4 for a mail order CD. It's best to buy it with a book, though. At a bookstore it's $20-$40 for a CD with a manual.

I use Linux exclusively. Windows is expensive, slow, unstable, intentionally not reverse compatible, insecure, etc.

I don't have any opinion on Mac, except that they are expensive and usually impossible to upgrade.

Linux is free, fast, secure, and fun! I use computers because I like them; I don't need hundreds and hundreds of megs of Microsoft safety padding around my machine.

You toke the words right out of my mouth. You said what I would of sayed. Thanks
