Rule of thumb: When making a game or anything else for that matter, only take customer feedback with a grain of salt.

Marc Emery is back.

Did he get locked up for selling seeds, or for donating the money to polotical pot activists in the US?

Some feedback can be useful. Such as for one of my flight simulator add-ons. A customer requested to an add-on company that they make a roll-up installer that includes all the service packs instead of installing the updates one by one. So ever since then, they do roll-up installers. Another suggestion was a tool to tweak the settings of a certain add-on, because it didn't have one initially.

Those are good suggestions that help everyone and aren't just selfish desires.

Have had to move over to a Linux server... I miss my Windows server already. Up to now it's been 5 days and it took four to get a distro to actually install and work, several would not even boot their installation media.

At the moment I am having to compile my own kernel because the i686 kernel I used for remote booting is apparently not compatible with my Pentium Pro, plus I want it to be able to start a 486 anyway.... Thing is, this isn't a simple task because the 2.6.25 kernel I am trying to use comes with a broken makefile and I don't doubt something else will go wrong.

At the moment it's compiling but the compiler throws constant warnings.

The OS is also prone to crashing and is painfully slow, I want Server 2003 back

Edit: Indeed, failed to compile. Fuck this. I wanted less hassle but I may as well just carry on pulling drives out of machines and using WinImage to image them, it's not practical but it takes a whole lot less time and effort on my part.

I remember the Linux section in my A+ class. Is it bad if I say that I really, really, really dislike Linux?

Apparently it is. Because Ubuntu, a fully fledged alternative to Windows, is FREE and therefore it can get away with it. Also DRBL and CloneZilla are free, so when the have problems you're just meant to go "Oh, well, it's free, so that's OK." - of course, you don't have to pay extra for most of the services in Windows either, you just have to click a box and they install, none of this "sudo su, wget http://someshit.org/...tive.double.ext, apt-get install someshitforthat, make something, gedit makefile (cause it's broken) bla bla bla" required.

We had a separate book for the Linux portion. One line literally said that Linux was the best operating system in the world.

It was all about Linux CLI, which I found much too complex and counter-intuitive just to do simple things.

That's cause your using crappy distros and don't know how to bypass shit so you can login as root to do maintenance then back out to your user account.
Problem with alot of those "user friendly" desktop distros (*cough*Ubuntu*cough*Mint*) is they push alot of their programs out while they're still unstable then patch them later.

install the synaptic package to front-end gui all that package installing

I like Debian. It's slow to upgrade, but it's stable and loaded with tools to make life lazier and not have to go into a console so much to do shit.

I also prefer the KDE desktop over Gnome's GUI. Gnome seems too stiff with its tools and customization.

I haven't tried Fedora since it first came out. Had the same issues as you; it was buggy and apt to crash. Been awhile since i tried openSuse, it was pretty limited on the available packages and a bit of a hassle to get set up the way i wanted.

There's alternatives to Linux/Unix; like BSD

maybe something here will catch your eye:

or just hate the *nix family and go pirate some micro$oft

Typical Linux user response "Do this, here are no instructions. You don't know what you're doing."

Also, I tried Debian, all it does on the five machines I tested it on is - Two won't boot the installer (Northwood, Atom) the remaining three install fine but won't log in because of a "Failed to update ICEauthority" message that I can't get rid of. Tried CentOS, will not boot the installer. Scientific Linux < Same as Debian. Fedora has a disco halfway through install, then crashes. OpenSUSE will start the installer but throws a different error every time. These are all the distros that DRBL works with.

Conclusion; The OS is broken. Because those machines run Windows just fine.

I've always been lenient with Linux, but at this point several distros are trying to pass themselves off as a genuine alternative meaning they must be judged as one and not as the basement-dweller's sideshow like they used to be.

P.S. I legally own my Windows license thank you, I'm not a cheap dick.

Edit: Just occured to me that this could come accross as hostile. Just to be clear that wasn't my intention. I also just found yet another set of instructions even more complicated than the last, in this case involving compiling network drivers and all manner of crap like that - as they are by far the most complicated they are probably more likely to work so I'll give these a go before I give up.
