Does anyone like these GFX

wow thank god i never installed ubuntu, still yet to try linux, just seems too risky to me, im not a super computer genius to be able to figure everything out, i like how my windows is just easy.
about to switch to 7 from vista(worst move on microsofts end ever)


about the graphic, i personally like it but like someone said earlier it seems all over the place with the theme, the logo i didnt even catch was ubuntu i just though it looked pretty cool and i personally like the colors

I'd NEVER sport the Ubuntu logo... I hate Ubuntu. It's the most noob distro ever... Even the stock kernel options suck. The disabled root by default... That's because they give it to users that don't know what they are doing and end up accidentally borking up their system through ad-hockery and failure to review before hitting return.

Funny Linux story. This fat chick (not my type of fatty) started arguing about what distribution of Linux was better and she didn't even know what kernel version she was using... She didn't even know how to check a kernel version... (uname -r) "Anyone who is anyone uses Ubuntu!" I went off on that statement. She didn't even know where Linus Torvalds was when he created the first source code of Linux...

First 5 minutes I was using Ubuntu. I tried to install software by "tar xvfj work ~/work && cd ~/work && ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared && make && make install" and the guys on Freenodes #Ubuntu had the nerve to call me a noob... Auto-dependencies are nice but make users lazy. I never cared for Debian nor it's noob affiliated and overly bloated predecessor, Ubuntu.

Now, Slackware is where it's at. Check out my default workstation!



I'd sport the Slackware logo any day of the week... though the logo isn't as flashy as others...

FYI: I haven't used owned a Windows machine since WinME was new.

nerdiest post ever.

the graphic is a little dull, its relying too much on a simple effect that's fairly common, you should try to do a few thumbnail designs and go in a new direction

and about the linux what not, I wasn't trying to shut him down, I know what open source software is, I was mostly curious to see his answer on why he used it. I know plenty of good reasons to use linux, it just doesn't make sense for a casual computer user to want to use linux. I've got it installed on two computers in my studio in fact.

I primarily do video editing, motion graphics and design on my workstation and the mac/bootcamp setup I have for that works great, there's no way I'd change now. I just wanted to see what he would have to say.

Yeah. I'm the kind of person that will go ape shit if his 10,000 word essay goes mysteriously corrupt because MS Word locked up while it was auto-saving... Boy that was an expensive day...
