I have to jump in to this discussion, because I just can't help myself. I
have used windows for as long as it has existed. Started with the DOS boot up
before Windows 3.1 and right on up to 98. I got so tired of the blue screen

Hello,
I don't blame linux for not having drivers or surport for my hard ware.
I believe that the company that makes the device should do this not
mandrake or any other distro. Like you said M$ put the companies on the
spot and they should not be aloud to do this. If only our politations
would

Well, for myself, I got sick of rebooting whenever I wanted to play a game.
And the crashes. Since I was rebooting for games anyway, why not dual-boot?
Then I started discovering how far Linux has come (the last time I used it
was a pre-1.0 version of Slack). Heck, there was support for my USB w
LM7.2 is a "Full-Featured" release. There are tons of things in there that
you probably will never use (drivers, alternatives to other applications,
etc), thus the size of the download.
Want a small release (not LM)? Try "Peanut Linux" from
http://www.ibiblio.org/peanut/ . It's a 50MB download
Nice summation Paul!

When I was just about getting fed up with how Visual C++ fails to compile
simple bits of code, I read somewhere that the best C compilers run under
unix [and that sort of includes linux, doesn't it?]. I got LM 7.1 more than
2 months ago, and now I'm still learning to use gcc and cforge, which I
