Give me a break. I'm sitting here on a duel Pentium 300 with 300+Mb memory, a 32Mb
video card and 11Gigs of hard drive running NT4 and it SUCKS. I need to reboot this
useless machine at least once a day if not more because the damned thing keeps locking
up. On the other hand at home I've got a AMD k6-2 250 with 32 Mb RAM, 2 Gig HD and a
2 Mb video card running Linux and it ROCKS. I can't wait to convert my others over to
Linux and teach my kids how to use it and reformat all of "Uncle Bill's" floppies so I
can reuse the disk's (probably use the CD's for coasters or perhaps sell them as tacky
earrings). If I ever have the time to sit down and get email setup I'll probably
never get my wife off the thing 8-).
Now in the spirit of the Linux community if you would share with us your configuration
perhaps we could help you with your "crummy graphics" problem ( and we won't even
charge you the M$ standard of $150 / hr - 1 hr min) <G>
Regards,
You're average Joe.

Cute. I'm running Mandrake 6.0 with crummy graphics, Windows 98 second
edition and Windows 2000 release candidate 1 with 1280 by 1024 by 24 bit
graphics and I haven't seen a bsod in months. I'm running on a celeron 400
with 128M of ram and 20G of disk space. Haven't frozen up or crashed in that
many months either. In as much as I'm willing to learn Linux/Unix, you guys
need to get out of the Windows 95/Windows 3.1 syndrome. Windows has grown up
lately and it's obviously passed you by.
Ooops, I take that back. The machine has frozen up a couple of times trying
to get my version of Red Hat to give me better graphics.

I've only been using linux since May and it's now just about all I use at
home. It's as easy to use as windows. In fact, I foret I'm not in
windows, except no BSOD ;o)
