I ready to chuck this whole Linux thing!
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!
Mark
