I went to CompUSA today and bought OpenLinux 2.4 for the eDesktop. It is supposed geared to make the Linux experience better for a desktop = user, with RealAudio already configured to work with Netscape, Adobe = Acrobat, the whole nine yards. I installed it with little problems, but it did not like any of my = Linux-compatible network cards. I tried 3 different ones that I know are = Linux compatible...nothing. So, I reinstalled Mandrake 7. No problems, everything looks great. Recently I decided to transfer some video taped material onto CD-Rs so = that hopefully it would last longer. So, I had a 128MB AVI file that has 46 seconds of video on it, totally = uncompressed. It plays terrible jerking in Linux. I switch back to Win98 and it plays flawlessly. I just sick of the whole thing. At least I can get certain OSes to do = what I want them to do, without having to be a computer programmer. Good night!
