Lots of hot air, and nothing but lies beneath flathead is just trying to get me to respond to him, which is his only purpose here. Readers, (as Peter points out), should take note of the complete lack of rebuttal, the use of emotive words and asseverations by the troll. The troll condemns itself by it's own words. -- This machine running Gnu/Linux Mint 8 and posting via Pan. Get your Free copy NOW! http://linuxmint.com/

You are a liar. What he SAID, and I agree from first hand experience, is that its NOT just a case of BLINDLY copying your $HOME around and expecting it to work. There are umpteen incompatibilities between distros - even distros with a common inheritance. The COLA "advocates" would have you believe it all "just works". It doesnt. The problem with "advocates" is that they are normally so dumb that if and when they manage to create a separate HOME partition they think they are some kind of mega-1337 super hacker.

You are a liar. Correct. RonB is just pissed because I asked for proof of his claims and he produce them. > What he SAID, and I agree from first hand experience, is that its NOT > just a case of BLINDLY copying your $HOME around and expecting it to > work.

It's a case of the LIEnix loons LIEing for LIEnix by omission. > The problem with "advocates" is that they are normally so dumb that if > and when they manage to create a separate HOME partition they think they > are some kind of mega-1337 super hacker.
