Hey, > Maybe I missed your other "experiences" or something.
Oh, the previous thread was simply that RH 7.2 was rather slow with my two AMD boxes & with another's single AMD box. > But I just tried installing a Debian potato last night and it fails for > no apparent reason less that halfway through. I'd had this with two distros (RH 7.2 & the same Debian 7.1 on a P-II 333. Each had just spit out the first CD & printed "You may now reboot your computer" on the screen.

I'm likely to revert, in future, to, say, RH 6.2 (which has installed fine on the two Pentium boxes), update the kernel & go from there. I'm going to say it....fuck 'puters. Sorry, had to. Too many things to study to bother pursuing certification, no more time, no more money, few jobs. I'm rather frustrated. Joy -- I'll likely be back to end-user support soon. Well, it won't be long after that I'll be single again;-). > Has 'Doze-2K(or-more-bugs) been installed during every attempt? Well, I've got 2k running on three of the boxes, W98 on mine (games). But it really shouldn't matter in any case -- particularly since I've had no trouble on three of the boxes dual-booting with W98 (the fourth is fairly new). Theoretically, based on ext2, there's no reason for Linux to either slow down ~or~ fail simply because of ~any~ other OS on the hard drive. But, FWIW, the fairly new one only had RH 7.1 running for a couple of months before I'd installed W2k & attempted RH 7.2. > -- > Sarcasm is just one of the many services we offer. I like it:-).
