| 03:36.38 | eightyeight | so, someone drops by ##unix asking how to create a user account and set the password in solaris |
| 03:36.50 | eightyeight | so, i point him towards the useradd and passwd manuals |
| 03:37.03 | eightyeight | he resists, stating he wants to work in a gui instead |
| 03:37.17 | eightyeight | after a bit of digging, his gui is borked as well |
| 03:37.38 | eightyeight | so, i suggest creating the user account first, as it's quick and dirty, then getting to the gui |
| 03:38.01 | eightyeight | he doesn't like that solution, because it involves reading man pages. "long and arcane", he called them |
| 03:38.14 | eightyeight | then he comes up with this solution: |
| 03:38.35 | eightyeight | "i have a better idea: uninstall solaris. done. thx for your help" |
| 03:38.36 | eightyeight | and quits |
| 03:39.36 | eightyeight | am i supposed to be offended? because i don't give a flying gnu |

| 17:36.51 | levi | I mean, look at all the effort people around here expend trying to get people to try them. |
| 17:37.37 | levi | I dunno how someone would end up trying Solaris, though. |
| 17:40.44 | eightyeight | i found his twitter page. he wants to give them a try, but isn't interested in giving any effort |
| 17:41.00 | eightyeight | for example, he installed freebsd, then quickly removed it, because "no gui" |
| 17:41.15 | eightyeight | nevermind learning how to install it. |
| 17:46.28 | eightyeight | so he's curious about the *n?x world, he just doesn't want to work getting things going |
