Well, I can't compare, as I haven't had an error message in Linux (yet) that I
didn't understand ("no such file or directory" is pretty self-explanatory).
But with Win95/98 - fatal exception errors, BSOD, registry problem - explain
those to a newbie. They don't sound any better than "mysteriously murdered" in
my book, and at least Linux told you what was murdered.
>Linux has a learning curve that just isn't worth it for most users
Perhaps that is true, but then most users would know that going in. BTW, DOS
had a learning curve too, remember? And even win95/98 has a learning curve for
the complete beginners (thus the installation manual explaining how to click a
mouse for people like my mom). At least people who are easily frustrated with
Linux didn't have to drop a paycheck to buy it.
>the hardware conflicts because of Linux's present lack of compatibility make
matters worse.
I'll agree that I was disappointed to find out that my Rockwell HCF wasn't
going to work, I had no idea it was a winmodem (that's not Linux's fault, it
should have been in the modem docs). But the scanner I bought - as I said, it
never occurred to me to check compatibility, so that's my fault. But I can
still use it with my other stuff, and I got a really great deal - if either
were not true, at least I kept the box so I could return it.
>But you also shouldn't need a Masters to operate your computer. :)
Well, I don't have a Masters, never took even one computer class (not even in
high school), and I get by okay. And I figure out who to ask if I get stuck.
>The problem is most people have neither the time nor the patience to wrestle

Most people don't have the patience for many things, a major American problem
in my books. Our society is way too "instant gratification" oriented, if you
ask me (which you didn't, so I'll shut up). But as far as time - well, people
make time for what they want/need/feel is important to them. Or pay someone
else to do it.
>And when you put all that work into Linux, then what? You've still got to
turn to Windows to do your work.
Well, hopefully we are contributing to the end of that monopoly. At this point
I have to use what supports my software, and that's M$. But one of the biggest
attractions about Linux is stability. And given that I depend on my system for
my livelihood...
I think you will be seeing an exponential increase in hardware and software
support, driven mostly by people like you who have driver issues and me who
have software needs.

I just picked up an Graphics Blaster Nvidia Riva TNT 1 card from
CompUSA. It has 16MB of ram, outstanding render quality, and a lot of
bang for the buck for only $99. It worked perfectly with the most
recent versions of XFree86 (3.3 I think, it comes with Red Hat 6.0, but
not 5.2). If you are running 5.2, it is easy to upgrade to the newer
XFree86.
Anyway, by no means the only card, and not the fastest, but a tremendous
bang for the buck, and works like a champ with Linux and windows.

Another merit of slackware is the ability to get it on
1.44-disks. With redhat you couldn't do that.

Another good thing with debian is that you really have networking
support with just 9 1.44-disks (good for real slimmed servers for
example).
I don't think neither Slackware or Debian is any hard to install. I
have no personal experience with redhat, but I don't think it would be
much more difficult than redhat with little computer experience (of
course debian and slackware may be hard if you're used to windows and
having mr Gates decide what you want.)

If you didn't assign the modem to that IRQ, I assume PnP did. You'll have
to use the isapnptools to configure the modem in Linux. 'setserial' is

The Inspiron line of laptops is meant to be the bleeding edge product;
every new toy (DVD, PIII etc.) gets almost immediately included in the
Inspiron machine. Therefore, the chance to have unsupported hw is much
bigger than for the Latitude line.
Furthermore, you shouldn't assume that all are alike. Philipp says there
is no problem with his I3200 video card. However, the new I3500 makes
use of a dreaded Neomagic MagicMedia chipset; not only it's not
supported by the XBF_ servers for Neomagic (you have to get a patched X
server and loose all the acceleration) but it has also some unsupported
hw for the sound system. AFAIK, for the time being there is no way for
making the sound work.
Yes, Dell makes well engineered laptops. But if you want to run Linux on
them, you have either to pick exactly the model somebody else claims to
work or to post the hardware details about the laptop you want to
choose. Otherwise, you might be dissapointed.

for redhat 6.0 you need the newer dhcpcd that works with 2.[12].*
kernels. dhcpcd-1.3.17.pl5 seems to be the latest version. there's

you'll need to hack /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown to use dhcpcd instead

Like most things it depends. Low end QIC-80 devices such as the Iomega
worked reliably on both BA2 and Seagate BE. BEOS2 was in fact twice as
fast as BA2 although still slow when working from a fast floppy
controller, and the 1 meg backup is too little these days.
An Aiwa SCSI was the best choice for me. The drive was less than $100 new
in OEM box. The TR4 tapes cost me $12 each at e-bay (new and sealed).
The Scsi card (Buslogic) was $40 at Computer Geek. I now have very fast
6-8 Gig capacity at reasonable cost. Beos2 would not run the drive
properly, but demos of Novaback and BA2 worked very well so I bought
Novaback at IB for $50 less 10 rebate.
Incidently the Iomega floppy controlled drive was subject to hardware
failure several times as it would unaccountably unspool the tapes. But
Iomega replaced the drive each time. Still... --

This is really my point. Linux has a learning curve that just isn't worth it for
most users, and the hardware conflicts because of Linux's present lack of
compatibility make matters worse. I like to tinker myself, so I can tolerate some
snags. (I just as of yesterday got my printer to shoot out ascii text files. I'm

I've never used 98, so I can't speak to it directly, but I can't count how many
times I've hosed or nearly hosed Linux. And with Linux it's arguably worse: With
Linux, it's not necessarily apparent what's a repairable problem and what's a
re-install. (For example, a few days ago, I wasn't able to boot into X at all.
It turned out something got mucked up with my X font server (whatever that is) but
you'd never know that from the message "gdm.pid has been murdered mysteriously".)
At least Linux programmers have a sense of humor.)
My point is (and I think you conceded this much) Linux is great for tinkering,
tweaking, and generally making yourself into a techie-kinda-person, if you have
the patience. The problem is most people have neither the time nor the patience
to wrestle with their system (even if the knowledge is available to them in the
manual). And when you put all that work into Linux, then what? You've still got
to turn to Windows to do your work.
