I was a lifelong Windows geek and had a couple years of serious SunOS/X11/shell scripting at college (okay, I was still a dumbass) but it still took me about one month of 8 hours a day nonstop learning Debian before I got all my hardware detected. I'd burn Redhat and Mandrake ISOs to compare them with what I was seeing in Debian. It was *really* hard. If I hadn't been out of work (and still out of work) there's no way I'd have put up with it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
