shut up.
you have no idea, really. linux is everywhere. 60% of all the commercial websites you visit run linux. it is widespread in enterprises on servers for various applications (and then some...)
all of them (including the kernel itself) are developed and supported by commercial developers.

Hi Clueless,
>>>linux is everywhere. 60% of all the commercial websites you >>>visit run linux.
You are referring to Linux on servers, such as RHEL or SLES, which do receive professional support from IBM, Novell, Red Hat and so on. No problem there.
I am referring to Linux on the desktop. I have been using SuSE Linux for over 10 years (since 9.3) and, whenever I upgrade to a new release I spend weeks of fixing, tweaking and so on.
All the Best and servus.
Paul

Yep.. Debian Rocks! Have been using Ubuntu a couple of years. Very little problems. Probably cause of the hugh user base that finds bugs and solves them.

Don't stray off topic... If there is one here anyhow...
Seriously now man... I don't know how you can't get them to make a replacement... DEMAND so!!! You have every right... And it isn't NOKIA's fault that there are in existance crappy local care centers... Push them for a replacement... And just say the magic phrase "or else..."!

nokia claims the device is ok. and they just reflash it.

Here in holland we got one company we call consumenten bond i will put this issue with them. because i got out of options....

This thread title alone is already cause for provocation. Let's not let the subject matter erupt into another flame war. Thanks.

The point is, Open Source works. Why else would Sun open source Solaris? Why would IBM, Novell, Oracle, Nokia, Apple and Google sponsor so many projects?

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:45.
That applies to everything that is Linux. It applies to HW manufacturers, to suppliers of the various Linux distributions and to suppliers of applications.
If you have a problem it's only the community of Linux users and all the online forums.
