Just wondered. Ubuntu here.
Been using linux for ten years, and ubuntu suits me fine. The shell is the same as any hipster distro, less driver headaches and anything I don't llike gets removed anyway.

So anyway, with Windows GUI with mousing about dominant, it's just not ordinary to turn on a computer and start farting around with a programming language the way it was before. It used to be normal for everyone to try out some lines right out of the box.

Commodore machines still came about before 1985, so what. And who cares about MS BASIC. Normal people didn't have business machines at home -- they had the Apples, Commodores, Spectrums and so on. Regardless, it wasn't fucking Windows obviously.

The whole point is that when you turn on a Windows machine, people let Windows load in and start mousing around and never realize that they could be programming. Got it? The older machines turned on immediately because there was no hard drive -- it was the ROM, and there on the screen it said "COMMODORE BASIC" and you even had to type in a LOAD command to run something from a floppy.
Is plan 9 usable yet?
Wondering if they have enough hardware support. Suppose I should just download it and try it.

L33tUK was able to post again because everyone forgot how stupid he was and began talking about something slightly more noteworthy but still pretty retarded. Good job /lounge/.
