I can certainlly understand that, do u remember back in the day of DOS games? Getting the game to work was half the battle.
**Although i was pretty young then, i remember Duke Nukem and Whacky Wheels is all**

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but...here goes.
I'm pretty new to computers. I wanted to install redhat on my laptop, minly because I would rather use an os that teaches me something more about computers than how to move the fricking mouse. I actually bought the redhat software because I thought I would need their tech support to install. I went to a couple of user groups and asked if it was compatible and I looked through the redhat site before installing. After installing it with a dual boot it wouldn't work.
I wasted an hour on a long distance telephone call (I was out of the country) to redhat support before they decided to tell me that there ARE some incompatibilities with laptops and, apparently this is one of them. Something which out of sheer forgetfullness they forgot to mention on their website and which their sales rep seems not to have heard of. That's the reason I'm stuck with windoze xp.
If anyone's interested in the tech. information or has any ideas, it's a presario900 (916us)amd athlon processor. I guess you can look up the specs. If nyone has any idea about a compatible os or a solution I'd be glad to... F! M$

verikt, the easiest thing for you to do would be to get another distribution or two of linux, example, try out mandrake linux 9.1 or try out slackware 9.0 or lycoris desktop l/x 3.0, because usually you will find that most linux versions will support most hardware. you are bound to find a nice easy version of linux to use if you try two or three.
this sounds like a lot of work but linux is free and if you search around you will likely be able to find a mail order company near you who will mail you copies of these linux distributions for little more than the cost of the CDs, or even better, you could download them yourself from http://linuxiso.org/
welcome and all that, post in the UNIX/GNU section if you have any other linux questions.
