Why does linux suck?

So I decided to get in on sum linux action since everything is so easy with livecds and all nowadays. I download slax, burn it and pop it in. After a few minutes it just locks up on me. I thought this shit was supposed to be off da hook but it's lamer than a jap guy getting his micropenis blown

You fail at linux.

livecd = suxx ;)

moar like linux fails at me lolol

That's Linux's way of telling you that your IQ is too low.

If you're a noob, why are you trying a LiveCD that's basically Slackware?  Try Ubuntu/Kubuntu.  It's made for noobs.  No shame in being a noob or anything, we all are/were at some point, but Slackware isn't for noobs.

And if you can't get Linux working, that's not Linux's fault, so please don't go around bashing it.  That just shows that you're an idiot more than anything.  Now go try Kubuntu.

but its a fucking LIVECD mang.
its supposed to just fucking WROK.

if he cant even put it in his cdrom drive and let itself boot up, then theres something obviously fucking wrong.

btw, fuck linux altogether and install freebsd >>1

slax is awesome, I've never had a problem with it except for that release where they switched to unionfs before it was ready to support branching and it crashed disgracefully when you tried to uselivemod.

Yes, slax is awesome. But if it doesn't like you for whatever reason try Kanotix or Mepis (both of which are Knoppix++)

is rite. i remember when i started with "Mandrake 9.0". I didn't have a clue what i did, but i tried various things in the console and learned step by step. first i tried to compile wine lol (and it surprisingly worked). someday i wanted something up2date and installed debian (through miniwoody). it felt uncomfortable at first, but then i liked it very much (because of apt). but someday i thought: "man it feels sluggish, i have to try something lighter" and tried arch linux. it was awesome. i don't want to advertise, but i still use it ;).

now i always use 3 aterms (zsh!), screen, irssi, mutt, ssh (to my homeserver), a quick windowmanager (i have 2ghz, 1GB ram, but still...) and many cli-tools. in short: you wouldn't survive here for long ;). it's not impossible to become a "linux-pro" and i'm not ashamed that i started with mandrake lol.

but i doubt you *want* to come so far joey bishop.

Does Ubuntu/Kubuntu work noob-friendly enough that it will boot up and install itself just by inserting it in the cd drive?

For my first Linux I got Debian (the minimal installation packet), but had to leave it in frustration.

Yes, Debian can be hard for noobs. The pro is: When you stay on stable, it will unlikely crash. If you pick unstable, then you have the newest software (even newer than Ubuntu). But you need to know what you are doing - nothing for newbs.

(K/X)Ubuntu are made for user-friendliness. It won't install itself without pressing any keys, you need to answer some question (language, keyboard-layout, ...) but it does most things without asking after that. If you got frustrated because Debian asked MANY strange questions, then try it. I'll only ask mentioned things and does others (formatting drive, setting up X, network-setup) alone and automatically.

Well, I must admit that I had a problem when installing it. It (the installer) froze and I needed to reboot. Then I landed on the console and needed to install X and the desktop with apt. OK, I was on a virtual maschine...

If you have the same problem, remember (kids):
apt-get install UBUNTU-desktop (that's right, not gnome-desktop!)
apt-get install x-window-system(-core)
apt-get install x-server-xorg (I'm not sure about this one - it could be "xserver-xorg", too)
