Not only true but documented in most of the Linux docs. There are many references to the fact that Linux taxes the system more than Windows does. As a result even small problems quickly surface. These problems are not Linux's fault however. The payback is that once the problems are removed, you end up with a rock solid system. The "It works fine under Windows" comment almost becomes laughable, unfortunately. -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Pj Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2000 12:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] As a newbie :) Don, This may not be helpful but the one thing I discovered about Linux is that if there is even a hint of hardware problems it does not install nicely and it's a nightmare to configure. I didn't know I had an I/O problem or bad memory as the problems were not consistent or persistent, but L-M knew it. Every piece of software required a forced install. By the time the problems were resolved I'd installed three new boards, 256 new memory and 4 new video cards. It is amazing the difference in sys performance now. Pj
