it certainly makes it frustrating to use and makes a lot of people give up on it

why be frustrated at the OS? be frustrated at your video card. If you had problems getting your video card to work in windows, you wouldn't get rid of windows you would get a new video card. This is true I know many people that have. But if you have problems installing something in linux you get a new operating system... I dont understand it.
mushrooomprince:
Stryker is right. I have little experience with Linux but usually people blame something new than the older stuff that they are less familiar with.
JesusRocks:
Jimmy James, i am sorry to inform you that Linux is not perfect, what the fuck is your point, its getting a damn bigger marketplace then apple, it might actually stop Microsoft eventually.
Apple never will because of the fact there "Perfect Os" will only run there "Perfect Hardware". And more to the point, because Linux runs on a platform with shitloads of Hardware, not all of it can be supported, and I dont think a Voodoo 3 driver will be written because of how old they are anyway, surely you can live without one? In a few years it wont matter, and Linux is supporting nearly all the new hardware.
Oddzball:
Hurray! People are responding. By distro do you mean the type of linux? I'm using Mandrake 9.1
Actually though I have gotten it to work with gnome, but not KDE, for some reason the mandrake distro of KDE is fucked up IMO. Everytime you try to load up the GUI it give you all this crap about not being able to find files for KDE. Really irritating.
The real problem im having now is that when i go to the little add and remove packages thing and try to add more packages it asks me to put the linux cd in, and when i do it seems to not realize it, and keeps ejecting the cd and telling me to put linux instal cd 2 in the drive. Unfortunately it is in the drive, so im unable to add new packages when i need them.
Anyone know how i can add packages (like open office for example) and get the stupid thing to recognize the cd that is in the drive?
hm_murdock:
remember, the "brands" of Linux aren't really different "kinds". It's just what company packages it. Linux is just the kernel, and everything else is "GNU Utilities" and stuff made for that distro.
and what the fuck is my point? I'M AN ASSHOLE!! I don't need one. I'm sick of hearing people bitch about my platform, so I'm gonna bitch about everything else by blowing shit outta my ass.
