How about you shut up and bring this thread back on topic before it gets locked.
If you want to be a Linux fanboy then PLEASE do it elsewhere I am sick to death of your crap here bantering on Zingle.
Now I'm reporting this thread because its so far off topic the sun is closer.

I really think you should read back through this thread to see who took it in the direction it headed.
Fanboy???
Whats that..someone who spouts nonsense on behalf of someone else who spouts nonsense?
You`ve got to be having a laugh right??
It`s a bloody box of wires as far as i`m concerned but again.....read back through the thread young un as your own fanboyism is just a tad worrying me thinks

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
Can everyone take a deep breath and try to get this back on topic.
There are a few comments on here I'm not happy about so keep it toned down or I'll start getting creative with the delete posts button.

It's still open because IF the flaming and sniping dies down it could be a good thread for discussion about the merits of the different operating systems. If the flaming and sniping doesn't stop then it will be locked.
Or the OP can ask for it to be locked if he so desires.

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
I like the look of vista, but thats it.....
I think there will be new good looking themes for xp that make it look just like vista, not kind of like vista.
although, I have found on linux you can make it like aero if you chose and play around a bit...
I like both, dont both sides flame me now....
it is good for a change

Heres another
Pidgon(gaim?) is already installed by default in any K/X/Ubuntu as it is any many others.
Most distros have a chat client of some sort i think.
The ones i`ve tried have anyway
