i believe if the distros would upon installation of linux throw u into a low
res mode
and then let people pick their monitors and video cards i believe they would
attract
and keep a lot more people. there seems to be in my opinion this need to put
u in a high res desktop just to have it crash. it doesnt make any sense to me.
i do however love my Mandrake 7.1.. i think its esceptionally fast. i clicked
on the hard drive optomisations when i installed mine. it seems to be much
faster than that other operating system. i seem to get a feeling when
the kernal. 2.4 is released we will find ourselves in a pool of software.
