On a side note
It took me 4 hours in total to install windows 2000 on to a pc, with about
10 reboots to get all devices working...
on the other hand Mandrake 8.1 , took 10 min's to install, detected all my
devices and worked first time,
although I did have to install my driver for my geforce2 mx, which was hard!
but fun, and worked too :-).....
as i said before.
Linux rocks the party.... ;-).
but will the evil empire have the last laugh with this .net silly stuff?
Laters,
Lee
