Linux-v-Windows (was Linux Upgrades)

.... I tried to play around
with Win 2000 once. They did not have support for the
netgear FA311 Nic. Usually no problem, download the
driver install it, yeah right this is windows we are
talking about. ....

Can't argue with you there. I have Win2K on a removable
drive and seem to recall a major pain installing it. Too many
incompatibilities. Had to do it to get some debugging feature
under MSVC6 to work correctly. I did experience the old
internet driver hunt. And Win98 installs are pretty tedious
(reboot 297 times: ready, begin.) Maybe I'm intimidated
because setting up Samba, PHP, MySQL etc. for the first
time was such a hassle. Now that I have the config files I
guess it might be easier. Anyone know where I can get a
cheap copy of RH9.x? I paid full price for RH8.0 and never
used it because I heard major releases are bad.

Its funny, saying anything bad about Linux in this group is
a little like something by brother did years ago: he walked
into his wife's tupperware party (living room full of women)
and told the joke about the transvestite who had to have
half his brain removed to complete his sex-change operation.
They didn't see the humor in it.
