Broadband Politics: Linux: A tale of woe

    I guess this is why I've never had a big Linux problem...I've always installed it on my red-headed stepchild -1 gen hardware. It's definitely a structural flaw.

    After years of membership in the Linux Jihad, I have abandoned the platform as not worth the bother and heartache. I can see its use as a server in high-load situations where you can dictate what hardware you intend to use, but other than that...

    I would recommend a version of linux that has better hardware detection. Try the Knoppix live CD first, and then try the latest version of SUSE (10.2), which is a full-featured 64-bit OS. The ftp install works quite nicely.

    Isn't that two versions?

    LOL.

    A feature, not a flaw...a feature, not a flaw...

    I miss your regular posting. Code Pink was out in force yesterday in Portland.

    No counter demonstrators.

    Except for one "Zygotes Are People Too!" (ZAPT) guy who looked like he was lost.

    It's good to know that Susie Benjamin hasn't burned her whole trust fund yet.

    Believe it or not OpenBSD has just worked with many different arches and installation is text not graphical, very clean.
    I tried the latest downloadable knoppix on a couple of i386's and would not boot but OpenBSD has no problem with.
    Try it. ftp or http download www.openbsd.org

    latest is 3.9-current
