Buy yourself an external CD drive and buy Slackware, which can be installed

The original poster has no CD drive on the laptop. If he has a CD drive in his
DESKtop, he'll have to install from floppies, and Slackware wins out on that
score. Red Hat needs that CD drive for the install.

What kind of testing is done on Windows distributions?
Is it a manual test?
A patently bad test as is obvious in W2k?
Is it automated?
Are the scripts out there that can be run to verify a system?

I guess I will come out of lurking mode for this one. I am not a seasoned
Linux user (some day I hope that is different) but I have done a lot of
installs of various distros (I usually start having a problem as I get into
some of the config (post install) aspects due to my lack of knowledge). The
distro I have had the best luck with so far has been Suse 6.1 with thier
Yast tool. Anyway, I got tried of purchasing the latest greatest distro in
order to use/learn Linux on my modern hardware.
I recently spent time trying to get Mandrake 7.1 installed, I learned during
this process that this distro is simply broken. It failed everytime during
the install and while I am not a knowledgeable Linux user I am not
incompetent at a simple install either (I have been building home and small
office systems since about 94), the installer seems to make a bad assumption
about the video card in use and does not allow for a interactive install
just prior to that point. I also tried to use the low VGA install and that
failed as well due the same reason, then I resorted to the "text" install
but the installer would not let me have the "text" mode install and kept
reverting to low VGA mode.
As I said, this version 7.1 is broken, I could go out and spend more money
on 7.2 but I am tired of getting caught in that merry go-round and at this
point I want to get a working modern version of Linux up and functional. I
am currently downloading Slackware, I hope to have it running by this
evening.

IIRC Macs running Linux can run Mac software (a bit like wine, but much,
much better). You might be able to get the audio stuff working under
Linux like that.

No..it's NOT about deception.
In fact, the concept of, say RedHat 6.2 an Slackware 3.2(?) being rough
equivalents is confusing as all getout for the uninitiated newbie.

You obviously don't consider it reasonable, judging by your posts. I've

Nothing you have said has altered my opinion - you just haven't made your
