The question is whether you do your learning up front, or later. With Debian, it's up front. With Windows, it's later. Not the Windows installation is easier than Debian's -- it isn't. But the store you buy the computer at usually installs it for you. But Windows makes the learning hard, so you learn not even to try to learn. Then, when your system goes down, you are clueless and have to call in the expert. If you are lucky, the computer store that preinstalled WIndows for you will still be in business. I have had running Linux systems for a very long time now. But when the Windows on one system failed for the second time, it became uninstallable. If I hadn't had Linux, I might have ended up buying a new machine. -- hendrik > > -ishwar > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
