Re: Screen cont. (from the "Peanut Gallery")

Well, finally a thread I can chime in on (given I'm a rank novice on Linux).

I believe that you'll find the typical notebook has more install problems than the typical desktop as there are more proprietary or chassis vendor-specific drivers to deal with.

 

I would like to say that it appears that, judging from alll the 6.0 - 6.1 issues, RedHat has inadvertently found their own sinkhole -ala- Win95.  Let's hope the errata are resolved more quickly.

Attn: RH!   Keep on keepin' on.

Plus one more thing I want to test RH in my notebook before I install to my desktop

Pentium III 600Mhz 128 Mb ,20Giga Hd,Pioneer DVD,3DFx voodoo 3500 w/t TV tuner , a SB Live pro, Modem/fax/voice , scanner, CDR/RW , web cam, printer etc etc.

If i can't install it in my notebook (it should be easy ) how on earth i will install it to the desktop with all this stuff it will take me years just to go through all the how to's and the info pages for every component I have before I'm able to take a simple      e-mail from linux.
