Right you are, but it is working now. I don't care how long it took, the
fact is that it works for me. Yes, it is unstable at times but it does what
I need. It supports all of my hardware. It has the applications I need. If
Linux is so great, where are all of the applications. I will tell you where
they are. They are not written because nobody can make money on it .
Everyone expects everything for free on Linux. Well ad far as application
choice goes, you get what you pay for.
OS/2 was better too, look where it is!
I am not hoping that we talk about LINUX in the past tense. I just find it
is not ready for serious use yet AT HOME.
AGAIN though applications are the major thing, they drive the OS and not the
other way around. THAT is the real world.
