I’m sure someone else has had this problem on asking a technical question…
Yeah …. set fire to your computer and claim on the insurance.
With the money, buy a new one with a Microsoft operating system and IE 7.0 installed.
Damn PB and I thought you’d say “try turning it off and re-booting it” :lol:

No chance Druid – the only booting to be done is a swift boot into an open fire (see above).
Why people use all these minority Op Systems and Browsers is quite beyond me. Oh and before anybody tells me that they’re safer or better etc – remember that some 98% of the world uses Microsoft – are they all wrong???

Well I’m not arsed one way or the other PB :roll: , I’m running Microsoft on four systems and have no complaints :) , just seemed a shame that I was running linux on another machine & for the hell of it tried to get into JC & it didn’t work
.
I thought ‘Technical Talk’ might be a good place to ask why, as it is an obvious issue here.I was interested in your 98% figures :idea:
As of the end of 2006;
29 Percent of companies world wide are using Linux servers (Morgan Stanley)
Percentage of local authorities using Linux in the UK: 33%
Percentage of local authorities using Linux in France: 71%
Percentage of local authorities using Linux in Holland: 55%
Percentage of Linux systems used as workstations: 61.42%
Percentage of Linux systems used for programming: 43.65%
Percentage of Linux systems used as mail servers: 23.37%
Percentage of Linux systems used as web servers: 33.38%
Percentage of Linux systems used as file servers: 24.64%
Percentage of Linux systems used as firewalls: 23.51%
Percentage of Linux systems used as DNS services: 17.6%
Percentage of local authorities using Linux in Germany: 68%Sources
1, 2: Guardian Unlimited, from a Google surveyThats also a lot of people learning that the Linux operating system is ‘free’ including Open Office which makes Microsoft, Windows & Office look very expensive, thought you’d at least picked up on that one PB :wink:
Still interested however in trying to get Fedora 6 to run Java if anyone is out there…..
i used ubuntu for a while druid, which is a lot more user friendly than fedora (even my kiddy can use it) and had a problem with java, but i looked in their support forums and found a thread which helped.
this is the link to the forums, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/index.php you could try there and see if their solutions work with fedora perhaps??
I wouldent use IE at all anymore. I used to get loads of Spyware when I used IE. Havent had any since I started using Firefox.
I heard that Operas the safest Browser though. Might try that soon.The reason that 98percent use Microsoft Browsers or Operating Systems is it’s the Default, and a lot of people cant be bothered changing. A lot of people also might use IE in Work during the week, but change to another Browser on their own Comp.
Cymorill Hi,
Many thanks for your reply cool.., and Bad Manners, cheers, good to see you both, I will check the site and see if I can get some results, I looked at the fedora site and hit brick walls through the installation after geting Java to run, I was hoping to catch anyone who had overcome this, but a good lead anyhows.
Thanks for taking time out :wink:

Oh btw :oops:
Forgot to mention, Open Office is compatible with Windows, you can create anything that is creatible in Windows ‘Office’ and save it as a Windows ‘Office’ .doc or ‘other’etc , so is Mozilla Firefox free without shipping in an expensive wrapper, which IE7 is a hybrid…..check the Linux/Microsoft and Vista senario.And it’s all free :D check Open Office.org
