I'm really getting sick of this though. The RPMDrake lockups, the fact that I get an invalid page fault when I try to start Ghaleon (shades of Win9x), the slowness and buggyness of KDE and almost all the other programs that come with Mandrake 8. The fact that Sawfish locked up when starting today (I have *NO* clue what's up with that). I just want my computer to work right, and Linux has been a complete bitch to set up properly. I've already spent money on two distributions. If I spend any more, I'll be fast approching the cost of an MS Windows upgrade. Everytime I get a new peice of Linux software, it's not good enough or has major bugs and I have to do it all over again. eon (shades of Win9x), the slowness and buggyness of KDE and almost all the other programs that come with Mandrake 8.

I've already spent money on two distributions. If I spend any more, I'll be fast approching the cost of an MS Windows product. Everytime I get a new peice of Linux software, it's not good enough or has major bugs and I have to do it all over again. So far the only thing that makes it better than Win9x is the fact that I can leave it running without having the reboot every couple of hours. That's not good enough. I've been fighting the urge to tear it from my HD and switch to NT. - John
