This is true. And it should be made better. But . . . it's really not possible to never have problems. There's too darn much varient hadware out there, and exhaustive testing is impossible. [FWIW, I've had the Win95 ok / Win98 won't install on THREE of the FOUR computers I've tried it on that weren't originally shipped with win98--a 75% failure rate. This is an incredibly terrible record. Linux is way better than that. I've had 0% failure rate on a machine that worked with a prior version of the same distribution for Linux. I admit that this experience is probably an extreme, but I suggest that yours is, too, albiet in the opposite direction.] | It's unfair, but for Linux to get it's fair share of the marketplace, it must be | better than M$. Until it is, the old saying "better the devil you know..." will | keep King Bill firmly on his throne. -- "Brian, the man from babbleon-on" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brian T.
