Or, you could say that some people get unlucky. That doesn't make for a system that is difficult to install for everyone.
A few weeks ago, I got handed a Compaq Armada 7800 laptop. I grabbed my Slackware CD, booted up with it, did the install (including KDE) and had things working in about an hour. That seems to be the more usual experience these days as opposed to what happened to you.

A couple of weeks ago, the german c't magazine came with a Knoppix CD included - booted just fine, even on my old Toshiba 64M laptop. And you don't even need to install anything. regards, Per Jessen, Zurich http://www.enidan.com - home of the J1 serial console.
