Ich bedaure aber ich kann kaum darüber lachen, denn so es ein Übel
scheint, so sei es notwendig - bis jetzt bin ich mir nur als
Freeware-Tester vorgekommen - gearbeitet habe ich jedoch bisland nur mit
gut erprobten, stabilen und in jeder Hinsicht anständigen Progranmmen -
worunter ich Linux und Freeware - Konsorten auf jeden Fall nicht rechnen
würde - da arbeitet man zwei Tage an der Installation der neuesten
Release und dann: Man wählt ein entspannendes Spiel - Sokoban - und
kommt sich vor wie vor der Jahrhundertwende, ein lächerliches Spiel im
Design der erten Pc - Generation in einer für Pentium-Maschinen
optimierten Linux-Release - absolut lächerlich, wie der ganze
LINUX-SCHROTT - ein alternder Dandy in einer eisernen und verrosteten
Rüstung - soweit meine Meinung über diverse Alternativen, bis mich
jemand überzeugend und vorallendingen praktisch vom Gegenteil überzeugt.
