@Dave,
No, I don’t think that this will totally turn me off from Linux, but it will make me more cautious in the future.

@ubuntucat,
I did troubleshoot this problem, for most of the time I was on the OS that’s all I did. If you had read my article fully you would have seen where I mentioned that.

I did try ubuntu, and it worked fine, I had none of the problems that I had once I installed it when I was running it off of the Live CD.

Maybe it was because of the fact that I had no “linux driver”, but that was one of my lesser problems.

I will definitely take more precautions next time I try and run a different OS. That was the first and last time I’m wiping my windows partition for another OS.

Like I wrote in my post, I’m glad to be back in Windows.

I can understand you being pissed about f-disking your hard drive to install an OS you found to be suboptimal, but I’ve installed Ubuntu, and plenty of other Linuxen, on so many different computers without problems as to know they generally just work.
Personally, I don’t much care for Ubuntu (I run Slackware Linux) but I hope your experience with it doesn’t turn you entirely off to Linux. There’s alot of quality distributions out there and I’m positive you could find one, or five, that work well for you and your box.
Cheers

So if I install Windows on my netbook, and it’s not functioning properly right away, I can then call it “a faulty operating system”?

I can appreciate you not wanting to bother troubleshooting, but you can hardly say Ubuntu is a faulty operating system based on your one experience. It’s possible all the freeze-ups could have been due to there being no proper Linux driver for your graphics card.

I think the next time you want to try Ubuntu, don’t just reformat Windows straightaway. Install Ubuntu inside Windows using VirtualBox, or set up a dual-boot using Wubi. Take it slow.

Wiping out Windows right away will lead only to extreme frustration at the first hurdle you encounter.

Comment on Why Firefox is still better. by zachdude1094

My experiences with Chrome have usually been that Chrome is a very fast browser, and it is, but like you said, “Chrome is very fast when you access it but is very slow when it’s already operating.” And that’s especially true when you try to run anything that uses shockwave in Chrome, Chrome almost always freezes on me.

I agree, Chrome is the opposite of Firefox. Firefox unfortunately has a slower startup, but still, for me, Firefox starts up in 7 seconds or less (I counted), so it’s now that big a deal for me.

Chrome is a good backup browser, a lot better than IE anyway.

I’m not even sure Chrome is faster.
Chrome is very fast when you access it but is very slow when it’s already operating. It’s the reverse for Firefox.
Anyway, Chrome is still a very useful backup browser and I’m grateful for that.
