Yeah, that's what started all this trouble. Over 8 hours to finally get it installed, after having to figure out that Mandrake was lying to me. And now, more hours to get the modem working again.... :/ > Pick me! Pick me! I know this one...

Too bad so much other stuff doesn't. I would probably been better off getting everything working under RH. > I know MS is giving you less greef, but Mandrake gives you so much more > besides greefs. It's got a long way to go before it's OS/2, though. At least for the end user. Sure, with server applications, Linux rocks. But to use as a desktop OS, it fails miserably at this point. > After a few weeks of MDK'ing, I'll never go back to MS as my primary OS. > Right now I only use MS for playing games and watching the DVD's that > my stationary won't play. > > Give it a try! After a day of MDK'ing, I've experienced more frustration than I have since someone slipped a disk with the stoned.empire.monkey virus into my W95 machine about 5 years ago.... I didn't give up then, either. Although the "experts" told me after 48 hours I'd done everything possible, and that the only resolution was to buy a new HD. Kept at it, and salvaged that HD. And for what? A 1 GIG Quantum Fireball isn't worth anything now. Well, except that I've ghosted the HD from my father's Slackware router to it, for the next time he thinks things scrolling on the screen (trying to reconnect after the ISP has dropped) means he has to hit the reset button... :/ Yes, I am a bitter man. I miss my OS/2, and I want it back, dammit! >:|
