[ So, here are the thinks I want to have in 7.1 of course (using b2 at the moment):) 1: while Installing... a: UDMA66 support (HPT366,Promise in Kernel), cd-roms on that controllers doesnt even work, just freezing instant, bsod, but linux:-)) b: RAID support (Promise) c: let the user choise, which WDM they prefer, use a default button, if they dont bother... d: get rid of this, how much mb you want to have installed, it doesnt make any sence because noone can see, whats missing afterwards e: try to get leaner installations, hey, default expert network is 899MB, even w2k doesnt need that much space and has 10 times the features in 899mb f: dont install packages that arent needed by default g: get rid of the s3virge problem, installs fine, doesnt work after install, most servers i build do have cheap gfx, if i cant select packages because the installation is running in 8 colours, wow... h: try to get isdn, cable, dsl support while installing, modems are more and more obsolete i: h2: my avm b1-isa is about 10 years old, i have to manually change too much scripts, to get it running, why, i had to to so with my first linux distrie, debian 1.2, nothing has changed about the past few years... 2: work a: try to build a library, that can import and convert most win files, you will need that if you want to get linux at desktop pcs in firms, great idea, bye the way!!! b: try to get direct3d support, so most games could work under linux, for home desktops, if you cant play, they will not use it, unluckily d3d is becoming not the best, but default gfx-engine to be continued, its 7:30pm, have to play ut now:-) How about a "Linux Neighborhood Icon". Yes, something like which "that other os" has. This would allow home networks to easily share resources on other computers. This could be supermounted and displayed. A must have, gnomba most of the time segfaults, as gnome do about every 5 minutes, must be my pc, of course, beeing on linux since 1994... no, im not a win person, using w2k as desktop system (mail,games), booting mdk 71b2 for all the other things...
