Seems you may have crossed DD before Tupac?

He doesn't seem so ecstatic you have joined the forum.

Care to give us your side of the story?

I used to use Windows but then I found Ubuntu and it's one good operating system, you should give it a try.

Never, thought he was like that with all new members.

Seems like he's not the only one, not meaning you like, just the colour doesn't seem to look that good, if ya get what I mean.

Yeah, and Ubuntu is bundled with a guardian angel preventing you from getting any..
Amazing how short time it takes for linux noobs to become security experts.

I use opera and firefox, fecked of IE months ago. I wanted to use Unwhatever, but is said 48hrs to install, so i fucked that off too.

Since having PCtools anti-virus, i've never had a problem.

Not really, just that viruses can't read Ubuntu as they (the virus) are made to attack Windows and Microsoft, yes they come but as they are unable to read anything from Ubuntu they go away.

No expert, just listen to what people say, CMn would be able to tell you more about this kind of thing.

Yes it seems like your reputation has preceded you here and you are being flamed at the moment.

Personally I will reserve my judgement and hope you enjoy your time here and we in turn appreciate your contributions.

I haven't seen a virus on my personal PC in a good 20 years and it's Windows.

TuPac and Nooners, blinded by the no virus theme that Ubuntu puts out. Just wait until all those little rootkits are running away in the back ground because you have no security software on there

Unlike you welsh fools who still think the abacus is a technological invention, I've had a PC in my household since Day 0 and my own one since I was 3 or 4. A zx80

My old man just got a Vic 20 back from a friend from many years ago. He had borrowed it and forgot to return it. Old man sold it for a nice sum on ebay, Mint condition with manuals etc.

the best of the Linux promo videos in my opinion
