Let me go over some Linux Distro's
Fedora Core 4 - Will not find a FAT drive automatically. - Missing functionality in KDE. - Uses a forked Java that is not 100% compatile with Sun's Java - Does not load USB Flash drives - UpToDate does not always works. - If you update the kernal, that becomes the default boot. - Does not come with acrobat. - Is not compatile with previos RPM's from FreshMeat or other places
Yep, ready for the desktop.
Just seen this on a U.K. site:- ------------------------------------ It«s a sad reality that many people out...
DFS wrote something like: Doesn't really cover a lot of the functionality I have now...
Linspire 4.5 - Keyboard did not work on laptop (works in Mepis, Debian, and Xandros) - Open Office files 1.1.3 from Windows to Linspire are uncompressed into directories. - Sip phone service did not work,and I had to go Vonage. - Did not parbreastion drives (I understand 5.0 does) - Mouse kept disappearing Others, that I wish to forget, as it destroyed my Windows 2000 installation and cost me a lot of time. Yep, ready for the desktop
Xandros 3.0 Installing Serice Pack 2 without uninstalling all your applications destroys the boot manager. Touching the firewall configuration destroyes access to the internet. Does not come with acrobat, you have to know how to install. They have a pdf viewer, and what displays it unreadable. Acrobat is easy to install IF YOU KNOW HOW! Installing Opera 8 from the opera web site does not display Opera in the Menu. Yep, ready for the desktop. Very stable. *rolling eyes*
