I'm going to take back my original comment. I've been playing it longer, and it's not as good as you'd hope. For one, using the stylus to get a boost is just plain stupid. Then, tapping A makes you go slower, camera angles can become very annoying, and the controls for the plane and hovercraft are sub-par. Not to mention all the voices are British now

Zidane: Linux is not Windows. It is not a replacement, and isn't meant to be. Think of it more as an alternative. Now, if you're looking for a true replacement operating system, ReactOS is what you want

HyperHacker:
1. Sounds like you listened to too much of Microsoft's FUD. This is so fucking inaccurate, you might as well claim that Windows sucks because you can't run it on your VCR.

2. You thought wrong; the more popular hardware is obviously more supported. Should probably think more when you buy things... it's really not that hard to get compatible hardware with everything.

3. Unix is older; GNU is modelled after Unix. It makes sense that it doesn't copy DOS. Besides you can make aliases. On top of this, just install Ubuntu, you still have a huge misconception you have to do everything with the CLI.

System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager was too hard for you (that's at least for Ubuntu, other distros usually have another, with the name "PACKAGE MANAGER" to help)? hahahahaha

The command to rename files is mv. Learn something. It was the same with MS-DOS until version 6 came around (aka, use move to rename files). There's various text editors for you to use. Like nano. And then on the point of dd, it's not just meant for copying disks.

In short: DOS is the dumb one.

Choosing a distro, yes that pretty much a blantently obvious thing you still have to do. Compiling a kernel, no you almost never need to do this. As for choosing your window manager, you'd rarely have to make this step at first unless you're using Slackware or something. On top of this, the whole reason a package manager exists is so that you won't have *any* troubles installing software. One of my biggest gripes is that lack of a package manager; you complain about Linux, but I find the situation much worse on Windows.

And for people saying 486s are still usable, they're either using 486s for their servers (in which they'd be completely correct), or specialized distros that have old or very minimal programs.

I find it ironic that you complain about Linux following the Unix design. Quite simply, it's because it works. It might not be perfect (what is?), but it's magnitudes better than DOS/WinNT.

What's ambigous? What about having -i enabled by default? Have you ever heard of man?

Your points are moot.

     -i      Write a prompt to the standard error output before copying a file
             that would overwrite an existing file.  If the response from the
             standard input begins with the character `y', the file copy is
             attempted.

On top of the fact, that Xkeeper's list has some errors in it in the first place. Hell, I even linked to an on-line manpage viewer; couldn't you just look up one of the commands that could be potentially hazardous (eg, rm or cp)?

I fail to see how I'm demonstrating any problems, but rather you seem to be demonstrating nothing but ignorance.

Have you gotten the hint? It came from a manual, of course. And since you seem to have some sort of mental block from performing the obvious, scroll down to "Aliases" on the sh(1) manual. Ever wonder what RTFM means?

So much for "lack of documentation".

You would typically know about sh after reading a book, or asking for help on setting -i by default on certain commands. Nobody expects you to magically know what things do, no more than they expect you'd magically know wtf all those archane, undocumented Microsoft config GUIs are that aren't even accessible without digging through system32.

If the world followed by what the magazines said... we'd all have quantum computers, flying cars, holographic storage capable of petabytes on merely a square inch, the keyboard and mouse would be obsolete by brain implants, etc etc.

I know it sounds great and all, and honestly it would be. But until it really comes out, I always hold skeptism to it.

Pretty much every bookstore here has books on Unixes (especially Linux), sometimes entire sections devoted to it. Then again, being in a large metropolis (Seattle) probably attributes to that

Package managers usually negate the need to compile anything at all, plus they typically install in standard places (like /usr/local).
