Is WinXX easier to use? Need some specifics?
1. Windows2000 auto-detects my BP6 dual processor system. All I have to
do to get the same level of service with Linux is to edit certain
setting, recompile the kernel, copy the new one to a new location and
then reconfigure LILO. Yeah, just about the same.
2. Ever set up a printer? Ever do it successfully?
3. How about monitors? At least you learn the term "screen refresh."
Now that's a useful term for a cocktail party. You end up buying twice
the monitor you need just so that it will work ok.
4. Network cards - 3COM - works fine under Windowz, need to trash it for
Linux.
5. How about sound? Hellooooooow? Still can't hear a thing.
6. But my Linux system has been running for 24 months now without a
crash. Well,. I think it has. It has no sound, the NIC doesn't work
until I can get the new SMP tulip drivers, and I can't get the monitor
to work because I confused horizontal with verticals screen re-fresh,
but the little green light seems to be on, so I figure its been up
without a crash for 24 months - BEAT THAT Windows!
I still love Linux, but I try and hid the bruises when I go out into the
Windows world. I say I fall down a lot. I mean, I really do still love
it. I bought RedHat at $110! Really, I do love it. Really. Its just
that tough love they all talk about.
