This is getting real old... I have installed Makdrake 7.02 on 15 machines so
far. From Pentium 120 to a dual Pentium III machine with no problems. I
understand that some people have problems but no OS can support every piece of
hardware. I would suggest if you run a version of Linux that you can get along
with instead of bashing.... Or maybe Windows is a better solution I understand
they support every piece of hardware.
