> Original body cut out to preserve space While you're right about RH not including mp3 and video apps out of the box turning off many new users, I disagree with other observations. (BTW, I converted all my music to ogg-vorbis format which gives me better quality and uses less disk so I no longer care about that.)
1) Windows is easier to install: I've installed Windows and Linux several times on several different computers and have always found that I've gotten Linux to work with less trouble and time than Windows. Admittedly, this can be more troublesom with some hardware which Linux hasn't caught up to yet. 2) Upgrading Windows: My daughter had to upgrade her Thinkpad T21 from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 a few months ago because she needed to install an application which required Windows 2000 or Windows XP. She had the following problems after: Display would only display 800x600, CD Burner wouldn't work, modem wouldn't work, HP Printer wouldn't work, HP Scanner wouldn't work, Zip drive wouldn' work. The External Hard Drive she uses to back up the system crashes her system whenever she plugs it in now. I've located updated drivers to fix everything except the modem. For some reason, the system won't even recognize that it exists. 3) Upgrading Windows: I've got an AMD K2-400 which I loaded Windows 2000 on. Worked fine. Installed Service pack 2 and it won't boot. I've re-installed several times and it always hangs hard during the boot after installing SP2. I've had a MSCE who I know is very good look at it and he hasn't been able to figure out what is going on. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
