Dec 29, 2007 Another reason why Linux is no immediate threat to Microsoft

Dont get me wrong, I Love linux hence the reason I use it as my primary operating system - but some things really tick me off when using it. Today's holdup wasn't any exception. Now in windows, when you are low on disc space (like 1gb low) it will persistantly let you know, and even gives you a wizard to try and fee some space up. Not linux! I went to restart my system (thats another thing, those who say you never need to restart linux - are liars) and when it was starting back up, KDE threw at me an error saying it failed to load because the /tmp directory was full. I click ok, and it takes me to a locked up black screen. Wow, that was friendly.
