[Password Speed Check]

the same goes for linux

no this is not true , i have a standard ubuntu installation and there are no open ports , you are not vulnerable to (most ) viruses , there is a standard firewall installed , ....

i'm pretty sure that linux (ubuntu) is more secure then windows

[Odd Firefox Image Error]

I have exactly the same error on my win XP box

first i thought i was the site but on my linux box the image shows perfect

i have also some errors with the adobe pdf plugin , i recently deleted some startup entries

i don't have a skype plugin installed but i will try tomorrow to run firefox in save mode or with a new profile

[What happens to you when a company stops supporting the DRM on their crap]

That's why you NEVER buy anything that requires DRM to play it back if you can't burn, move, share what you bought. I hate to say it, but that's one of the reasons people pirate shit.

this is completely true , i am willing to pay for my music but if it has problems to play , i won't hesitate to download illegal music 

[usb drives portable apps?]

i wouldn't try to make microsoft office portable

[What distro of linux]

and that's where linux is for , it just works  :D

you've never use linux before

linux is the last thing I'd label at 'Just works'

well i'm used to work with ubuntu and that works on all my computers without major problems , unless windows

[What distro of linux]

yes but that's not really userfriendly

not even close... but it runs

and that's where linux is for , it just works  :D

[What distro of linux]

yes but that's not really userfriendly

[What distro of linux]

Ubuntu is a good choice if you haven't a clue where to start. However, it's not nearly "the deep end" if you wanna get stuck in. Of course, it is still Linux based, no-one can dispute that, so it still does everything it should, it's just a bit more bubble-wrapped than... almost every other distro ever. On the plus side, you can generally install drivers easier due to Canonical (the guys who distribute Ubuntu) allowing closed source drivers to be installed with a couple of button presses.

It's not, however, a good choice if your machine is lacking in power (and specifically RAM), it'll curl up and die on any machine with a lower spec than it thinks it needs at any given time.

this is completely true

for a server debian is probably better than ubuntu

but maybe if it's your first server ubuntu is a better choice than debian

but ubuntu will not work on a computer with 32 mb ram and 300 Mhz cpu

[What distro of linux]

maybe ubuntu isn't the best choice but i'm satisfied with my ubuntu

and i would recommend it to everybody but probably there will be better distro's 

[What distro of linux]

so if i had a computer with a 3.0gh/z cpu 512 ram what OS would you recommend

ubuntu (server)  it has the foundation of Debian and an user friendly gui
