What is wrong with this os.
Windows loads boots and works right away, Linux for some reason allways has
problems either install or booting. I have used it or been trying it since
9.1 still not got any of them to work properly. Just managed after a
struggle to get 10 to boot, now i get to the opening screen and thats it. My
mouse will not work at all so I cant navigate or even open a console.Anyone
know how I can get the little bugger working.

Sounds similar to the problems I had getting a stable Mandrake 9.1 installed and working.
My solution was to turn off *all* ROM Shadowing in the BIOS. Windows doesn't mind the ROM Shadowing, but Linux wants to control all of the system's memory. When I turned off the Video ROM Shadowing in the BIOS, all problems went away.
HTH, I know the frustration. It took me over 4 months to figure this solution out. Sympathies.
