Mind if I vent a little? I really like linux a lot, but, I am starting to think I will go back to Windows OS.
I am currently only using RedHat 9.0 on all my machines (2 laptops and 1 desktop). I am really trying hard not to use Microsoft OS but I am starting to get frustrated whenever I want to install a new device. I never successfully got my Belkin USB Bluetooth adapter to work so I gave up after 2 days of searching the web and trying everything I could think of. Then I tried to get my 3COM camera (USB) to work and that took 3 days of modifying source code and compiling. It still is not that great. My laptop uses a Lin-Modem so that was working fine until up2date installed my new Kernel. Now I can do Dial-up connection to the Internet. Now I want to install my 3Com 3CRWE737 WIFI adapter. I expected this to be a very easy and not to have to search the net to install this thing. Come to find out I will have to search and it will probably burn a whole day to get it working. As for the RedHat site the support and search SUCKS! I have never been able to find one thing I searched for. I purchased the Enterprise level membership and it does not seem to help at all other than helping me to track the differences between the machines. Does anyone have a tip/tricks that might help me in the future. I don't want to submit things to the this group for normal everyday types of installs (Like WiFi). Every now and then I just wish it would "Just Work" so I can get some real work done and not spend all my time search Google and asking questions to groups like this. -- Chris -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
