Yes, certainly it doesnt, because its not any of those ones.Then I moved on to the email package called Thunderbird. This baby doesn't look anything like Outlook, nor Hotmail, nor Gmail. It handles email in a completely different way.
Hard to say with out knowing whats happened there.The most annoying thing is that, for the last week, everytime I get into Thunderbird, it asks me for my password for my email service provider. Why now after 3 weeks of not asking?
Well, if M$ would go with less tight politics, there might be change to do 100% mirrored copys of M$ documents etc. But no, theyr policy is "everything with our programs, our ways and thru our cashier"Using the other "applications" like the ones for Word documents,
PDF documents, and Excel spreadsheets, I discovered several differences and some weird characters. These documents are not native to Linux Ubuntu, and what you're getting is an emulation as close as possible.
Yes, because its made for M$ os's and browsers originally. If it works right with M$, doesnt mean its right then. Same as british says that allmost rest of the world is driving on wrong side of roads.Working on the Internet, using Firefox, also gave me some surprises. Files that I had read before, like the help on QBNews, now was formatted wrong, had weird characters, and was very difficult to read.
Never heard before.Doing copy/paste doesn't always work. You do the copy, and then you paste nothing.
Kernell created wrong.Plus, things just seem to work much slower.
Never didnt doubt itWould I switch to Linux for the long run? Only for developing and running Java-type applications. For user oriented stuff, I'll stick to Windows.

I mean big commercial software. For instance, if I want to play The Sims or World of Warcraft, I would have to use Windows. WINE doesn't cut it for those. Other than that, I have no troubles with Linux. My biggest computer problem right now is the fact that I don't have internet at homemmm...you mean windows programs wont run?most programs don't run under Linux.
I mean after 6 months in linux only havent got any problems to find suitable program for my use.
Why are you asking me? If you mean a real Linux distro then no, because it does not run on the offical Linux Kernel. But, it is the closest you will get to running Linux on MS-DOS. Great work, Seb. Keep it up! If I was a better programmer, I might have been able to make some packaging routines (installpkg type stuff) and a Desktop Environment. PDE! hehehe...[/url]Pats... can Qbinux be counted as a Linux distribution? You would only need a 386 or 486 with MS-DOS...
