Mounting in Windows SMFX | 10/21/08

hmmm.... ShadowGIATL | 10/21/08

It's not that hard... ShadowGIATL | 10/21/08

Actually, Windows does NOT automatically mount a drive if.. james.faction | 11/02/08

You can span drives Michael Kelly | 10/21/08

You can span drives in XP also alaniane@... | 10/21/08

You don't need to alaniane@... | 10/21/08

Add drive to a folder. TheTruthisOutThere@... | 10/21/08

How hard is that? ShadowGIATL | 10/21/08

I don't think it's that simple Michael Kelly | 10/21/08

RE: Desktop Unix: MacOS X and SUSE Linux medezark@... | 10/21/08

Agreed - except murph_z

| 10/21/08

Been using Access wolf_z | 10/21/08

I concur with the Access Linux User 147560 | 10/21/08

Except seosamh_z | 10/21/08

Why Access? hamobu | 10/21/08

As a developer RogerDaryl | 10/21/08

Access is fine if it's used properly alaniane@... | 10/22/08

What exactly is the problem with Windows? ye | 10/21/08

The clicks drive me nuts murph_z

| 10/21/08

How is it clunky? What do you mean by expensive? ye | 10/21/08

One minor example of the clicking Michael Kelly | 10/21/08

another example s_souche | 10/21/08

CLI vs GUI Stuka | 10/21/08

GUI faster than CLI? macoafi | 10/21/08

The GUI is easier for most users, but it's not faster alaniane@... | 10/21/08

You seem out of touch with the Macs. UrbanBard | 10/21/08

three years not five s_souche | 10/21/08

Really? In PuTTY I highlight the text I want to copy and... ye | 10/21/08

Why twice? markbn | 10/21/08

I was referring to XP. ye | 10/21/08

You're right, it is petty Michael Kelly | 10/21/08

We do agree on that. ye | 10/21/08

BINGO - Paul doesn't seem to get that...nt USTechHead | 10/21/08

Um, the keyboard is your friend... wolf_z | 10/21/08

I don't know about you Michael Kelly | 10/21/08

Thanks... Linux User 147560 | 10/21/08

I have a Linux User fan? ShadowGIATL | 10/21/08

I like the right click menu dpatjhh | 10/21/08

If you want to avoid clicking in Windows alaniane@... | 10/21/08

Am I getting old or.... Snarfiorix | 10/28/08

How clunky? Linux User 147560 | 10/21/08

I don't believe you. ye | 10/21/08

You don't have too... the truth is in my experience Linux User 147560 | 10/21/08

Well, there is your problem mdemuth | 10/21/08

More FUD and deception. ye | 10/21/08

Face it ye Linux User 147560 | 10/21/08

Face it Linux User 147560... ye | 10/21/08

Safe removal Yagotta B. Kidding | 10/21/08

Safe removal - part 2 MisterMiester | 10/21/08

The steps appear to be unnecessaryly long EclipseDS | 10/21/08

@Michael Kelly - 4 and 5 combined Linux User 147560 | 10/21/08

You have got to be kidding me? osreinstall | 10/21/08

It's really easy with KDE ... MisterMiester | 10/21/08

In OS X Fred Fredrickson | 10/21/08

So you're Linux User 147560 | 10/22/08

That is correct, LU#. osreinstall | 10/22/08

Can't buy a flaky driver Linux User 147560 | 10/22/08

You would be suprised. osreinstall | 10/22/08

So what your telling me is... ShadowGIATL | 10/21/08

Cardinality Yagotta B. Kidding | 10/21/08

Hmmm... ShadowGIATL | 10/21/08

I want to know Linux User 147560 | 10/21/08

It's not. There's something wrong with the system. ye | 10/21/08

Wish I could tell you. ShadowGIATL | 10/21/08

@ye Linux User 147560 | 10/22/08

@ShadowGIATL Linux User 147560 | 10/22/08

To help clarify... Linux User 147560 | 10/23/08

Linux User ShadowGIATL | 10/23/08

Hmmm Linux User 147560 | 10/23/08

Linux is not the answer stano360 | 10/21/08

C'mon, Murph ... mwagner@... | 10/21/08

Sluggish Laptop jasilvasy | 10/21/08

Vista won't be sluggish with 2GB of RAM. mwagner@... | 10/21/08

Oh no! More RAM!?!?! ShadowGIATL | 10/21/08

That might be true TedKraan | 10/22/08

So your saying... ShadowGIATL | 10/22/08

Wrong analogy TedKraan | 10/22/08

Depends... ShadowGIATL | 10/22/08

Well.. TedKraan | 10/22/08

Loss of control ... MisterMiester | 10/21/08

Use CTL-ALT-DEL to bring up Task Manager to kill... ye | 10/21/08

You have issues ... MisterMiester | 10/21/08

Windows is not UNIX. Stop trying to use it like Linux and you'll find... ye | 10/21/08

Don't tell PM that - he turns on the lights like unix...nt USTechHead | 10/21/08

You have issues ... hasta la Vista, bah-bie | 10/21/08

This is well known ... MisterMiester | 10/21/08

CTRL + ESC usually does the job hasta la Vista, bah-bie | 10/21/08

Have you ever tried it with a runaway machine? jpratchios@... | 10/21/08

Yes, I have. The only time it's been slow to respond is when... ye | 10/21/08

Funny that hasta la Vista, bah-bie | 10/22/08

Tried process lasso? Anton Philidor | 10/21/08

Another add-on for Windows? MisterMiester | 10/21/08

Just like Task Manager? EclipseDS | 10/21/08

So you agree .... MisterMiester | 10/21/08

Not the same thing as nice. ye | 10/21/08

@ye - You mean daemons MisterMiester | 10/21/08

@MisterMiester: I don't mean like anything. ye | 10/21/08

@ye - You should read the links posted ... MisterMiester | 10/21/08

I followed the link. And misread some of the script. ye | 10/21/08

Skip the extra step Michael Kelly | 10/21/08

CTRL-SHIFT-ESC is preemptive djchandler | 10/22/08

Not always true stano360 | 10/21/08

Doing something wrong ... MisterMiester | 10/21/08

Where have we heard this before? ye | 10/21/08

Anytime anyone questions Ye ... MisterMiester | 10/21/08

From Desktop point of view TedKraan | 10/21/08

Murph, your Windows bashing has No_Ax_to_Grind | 10/21/08

I think that should be past tense. B.O.F.H. | 10/21/08

Agreed and not even a good job at it...nt USTechHead | 10/21/08

And yet Yagotta B. Kidding | 10/21/08

Kind of reminds me...... todbran@... | 10/21/08
