My last bout with Linux was with Yellow Dog 2.2, and then I installed Mandrake 8.2, both on my PowerBook. This spanned Spring 2002 through the end of June, I'd say. I still belong to the YDL mailing lists, in fact.
Ryan, I understand you do internet hosting? That's definitely one of Linux's documented strenghts. Did you try it as a desktop PC? Just look at the number of USB printers supported. I dug out my old Epson 740, because that's what I had of the few supported, and although I could get it to print, I had to work at it. Installing Ximian Gnome on YDL made my CD directory go "poof." Again, I got it back: a multiday challenge with a reward, and that's where I discovered the joys of fstab. Unplugging Mandrake from my ethernet router resulted in my having to rerun the Network DrakConfig utility all over again. Dependencies? I've got to stop, because I'm breaking out into a cold sweat. I'm glad it works without a hitch for you, though. > Whoa whoa whoa. When did you last you Linux? I use it daily, the only > things it doesn't recognize is old equipment.
