I like how you've taken the time to install a Linux distribution but haven't taken the time to learn its name.

Seriously though, let's not turn this into a Microsoft-fanboy vs. Linux-fanboy flame war. The internet has enough of those already.

Kubuntu > Ubuntu,
Anyway, why not just use Trillian or Gaim?
Use all of your IM clients in one application!

Xubuntu > Kubuntu - at the very least less resource intensive. (i use both regularly, and both have good and bad bits)

Madow: I think you're the first person I've heard of actually using MSN Explorer, not just opening it briefly screaming in horror and promptly wiping it off the face of their hard drive. :-P From memory it's just a skinned version of IE with Hotmail/Messenger integration. My guess is it was one of Microsoft's attempts at controlling the internet. Nobody really took any notice of it and it quickly died. Now explorer.msn.com just redirects to join.msn.com. If someone really wants to try it, it looks like you can still get it off the New Zealand MSN. :-)

Ok, we'll leave you Microsoft-fanboys out of it then and just have a Linux-fanboy vs Linux-fanboy flame war.

Can't all us linux users get along? At least our OS doesn't crash at the drop off a hat!

Either does Windows 2000...What's your point? On the other hand 98, and 95 crashed at the drop off a hat. (I don't really remember 3.x)

eh? I don't believe I mentioned Windows(3,9x or NT), so I don't see your point there.

Oh we do get along quite well and are all agreed about that second point. However, if the company is all Linux-fanboys we need something to discuss:

Fanboy A: Microsoft sucks.
Fanboy B: Yeah.
Fanboy C: Agreed.
Fanboy A: Ummm...
... time passes ...
* Fanboy B sips a beer.
... more time passses ...
Fanboy A: So who here is stupid enough to use vi or Slackware?

You were clearly reffering to Microsoft OSes. Since I never heard of Mac OSes crashing at a drop off a hat.

He was refering to all Linux-based OS's not crashing at the drop of a hat. That says nothing about Microsoft or any other non-Linux system. Think of the conversation in this way:

Flame Sage: Copper spoons > Tin spoons
Digitalmouse: Silver spoons > Copper spoons
BobOfDoom: Aluminium spoons > Silver spoons
Talion Knight: Can't all us spoon users get along? At least all our utensils don't bend easily.
Dark_Shadow_Ninja: Neither do steel forks...What's your point? On the other hand plastic forks, and paper forks bend really easily. (I don't really remember leather forks)
Talion Knight: Eh? I don't believe I mentioned any forks (whether plastic, paper or leather), so I don't see your point there.

Edit: Yes, Dark_Shadow_Ninja you're right, utensils does make more sense there.

Personally, I'm switching back to Windows XP.
But Linux will always have a special place in my heart. ;)

Yeah you know since Linux and Microsoft OSes are two diffrent types of products. Now if you put "At least all our utensils don't bend easily" that would of made more sense. You make it sound as if I am talking about something entirely diffrent, when he was clearly taking a stab at Microsoft products.
