=== meoblast is now known as meoblast001 [02:33] ive descovered something [02:33] it is IMPOSSIBLE to get anyone to switch to Ubuntu [02:33] meoblast001, oh [02:33] I've switched a number of people [02:34] well when i ask ppl to try it out [02:34] they always say no [02:34] i tell them of the features, they think its going to be too hard of a switch [02:34] or they dont want to do itbecause they're too lazy to put in a cd rom [02:34] i have a friend who is suffering from a major virus in Windows that wont let him open his web browser [02:35] he wont even try Ubuntu out [02:35] i have him my live cd [02:35] every time i have a problem in ubuntu they tell me to switch to windows [02:35] when i had a major system crash every 1 month in windows compared to every 6 months in ubuntu [02:35] meoblast001, I'm not sure what to tell you but there are some great resources on the wiki to help you [02:36] i'm also quite angry because usplash crapped on me and no one knows how to help me [02:36] its hard to show off ubuntu when usplash fails on shutdown and my "friend" has to stare at a terminal shutting the system down [02:36] they'd be like "thats too complicated i dont want it" [02:37] and even if i explain "only my computer does that" they wont believe me [02:37] I'm pretty sure usplash on shutdown kinda disappeared for everyone due to xorg changes.
