I should mention I wasn't saying Ubuntu came from the RH4 kernel, but rather that it was a poor attempt at something like RHE 4,

Redhat is by far the best distro of user friendly linux.


....Still though, iwindows xp or vista ultimate is the way to go, especially with MS' new unix emulator that runs inside of Vista.

It's okay. You're pretty much ignorant of most technical aspects of anything related to operating systems as you've demonstrated countless times in the past. I won't hold it against you.

You aren't permitted to declare what does or does not burn gamepin. You're not even a roach on the kitchen floor that is this forum. So, kindly shut your mouth so as to turn off that mind-killing ray of stupid that strikes us dumbfounded each and every time you sound off with one of your ignorant, pathetic excuses for a vapid attempt at basic communication.
