Well, I just got back from posting
a gripe to Suse... Bad as these problems are... Just try finding support info on
their "hardware supported" database.
It's performance AND search
logic/engine are abysmal.
Of course, I'se looking for info
on Compaq Deskpro xl (486) but I had very little problem finding the info on
redhat.
I make my living from commercial
networked application integration and, frankly, Linux still is commercially
impractical on a typical user machine.
But I'm not giving up
yet.

Problem
is, Reh Hat gives no appearance of ever reading anything posted tro
this
list...

Re: Screen cont. (from the "Peanut

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.

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.
Regards Tassos
