?I got excited about the free software sometime ago and bought a copy of Susie Linux. But the?installation always hang up at some point and can never complete. I had to kiss my $20 goodbye and so much for the Linux. Recently my?job involves embedded Linux. For whatever reason we used the Fedora version 4. It looks like the Windows 3.1. The?newest version?may be more modernized, which I don't have tme to fnd out.?The?Linux operatng system is about 600 Mbyte compressed. Since we have a fast internet, it took only 40 min. to download. After downloading we needed to find a software that can write ISO format on CDs. I failed to find?such a software on the internet and ended up use the trial version of Nero. Then the Nero?I installed highjacked my CD drive and I had to unnstall?it later.??I also tried the 64-bit version of Linux and the installation never worked.
I begin to consder install Linux on my PC at home. With my?internet connection speed, downloading 600 MB is just unrealistic. The other option is to order CD's. They cost $45 and up and I'm sure this cost will?go up with time. So much for the free software.?I keeps asking myself what will happen if the installation fails. I only have one computer and one internet connection.?????? Not that I don't trust?other people's opinion, but?people pitched other things before which we never hear again. DL
