Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX

Confirmed, Mandrake 8.2 is the bollocks!

(1/4) > >>

Calum:
I just installed Mandrake 8.2

It autodetected all my hardware, even the USB cdwriter, and the SIS630 GRAPHICS CARD!!!!!!!

but no support for the SIS 630 modem, so that's a project.

And it was all up within an hour, compared to the 2 days it took to get WinME + apps up and running.

back to the old drawing board re: modem though.

voidmain:
BTW, XP sucks.  An hour is a long time for a Linux install, must be a slow machine. Last one I did took about 10 minutes.

voidmain:
Your g/f must be as bloated as your OS or you'ld be spending more time with her/him rather than making a fool out of yourself with these comments. XP doesn't support a fraction of the hardware that Linux does.  We've been over this.  Remember there is life beyond your little Intel PC. Take your Windows shit into the Windows forums..

voidmain:
Or your privacy is worth a lot. You're just pissed because your daddy is in hot water with the government and the fact Windows is about to be replaced on the Desktop with Linux. Like I said, there are plenty of people over in the Windows forums that can talk you through formatting your drive and installing Linux. Maybe you can get a head start and still have a job when M$ closes their doors.

Zombie: XP supports 40x more hardware than Linux
VoidMain: Remember, there is life beyond your little Intel based PCs
Zombie: but, um, I mean, uh, I'm not talking about servers
VoidMain: Is a Mac a server?  Hell, Linux even runs on a Mac.
Zombie: but, um, I mean, uh, waa, I'm smarter than everyone else

Seems to me IBM had these thoughts when M$ was in their infancy. History repeats itself. And I never have trouble with Linux and hardware.  I don't buy M$ proprietary hardware. And I don't know how you figure porn into the privacy issue. What the hell does porn have to do with anything?

You probably work on a help desk. I've met a few help desk kids like yourself who think their the sharpest tack in the box. It's usually just sharp enough to burst their own bubble.
