However, it really doesn't make sense to say "Windows isn't as good as OSX so use Linux" when Linux is even worse than even Windows from a UI standpoint.<br /><br />Maybe someone could make a good desktop, or netbook OS out of Linux, but I have yet to see it.<br /><br />Keep in mind, like you, I do all of my development in Linux. I'm not criticizing that aspect of the OS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496482.post-47430595406201195182009-06-04T11:02:12.619-04:002009-06-04T11:02:12.619-04:00"do pigs necessarily give birth more quickly ..."do pigs necessarily give birth more quickly to offspring than other animals?"<br /><br />http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_is_the_gestation_period_of_a_X<br /><br />Horse<br />340 days<br /><br />Cow<br />284 days<br /><br />Sheep and Goat<br />Both 145 days<br /><br />Swine<br />114 days<br /><br />Rabbit<br />29 daysnnishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520358584472742207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496482.post-50739762447493300072009-06-03T14:14:18.314-04:002009-06-03T14:14:18.314-04:00Steve, do pigs necessarily give birth more quickly...Steve, do pigs necessarily give birth more quickly to offspring than other animals? Is this a truism learned on the farm, or is it just a Brit expression?<br /><br />On topic, from what I've seen of those little netbooks, they seem to be built for the Unix-like command line environment as opposed to Windows GUI based one. If XP comes free, it's just as easy to uninstall if and when I get my own little computer. In fact, I would prefer this because it makes the computer cheaper.<br /><br />My 2 cents.Carl Trachtehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363048245012413049noreply@blogger.com
