similar experience, but it's been many years since I got Linux to kernel panic. And I push systems hard. NT will BSOD for me almost weekly. Same sort of treatment on Linux will just get me to a point where I have to logout and log back in. I don't like either, but given a choice... But you have a good point. For the novice that buys a system with a pre-installed OS they will likely stick with it. And it will most likely be Windows, and it will be Good Enough for what they do. Some one who isn't technically inclined isn't going to fix what isn't broken (to them). > And if you want to look at why ease of use didn't make the MAC > successful, what the hell happened to the machine XEROX devoleped...the > original inventors of the mouse. My $0.02 <nit pick> Xerox didn't invent the mouse. It was invented by Doug Engelbart.

That's part of the reason the Star failed. -- Rob Saul.:|:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:|:.de recta non tolerandum sunt _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
