Why I dumped Linux and Went Back to Windows. 96

I have never heard of hardware for Windows that you didn't need to install drivers for first.

Except *maybe* USB.

Matter of preferences I suppose.

I can't possibly imagine how.

Likely, did on my older version of SuSE before I switched back to Mandrake. And on Mandrake I never had any problem with audio. Just put them in, and they work. DVD works similarly, didn't have to tinker with mountpoints or other garbage, just put them in and they work.

Hmmm, maybe the newer OO is just faster than the old one I was using before...but it certainly seems to work better in GNOME than KDE though. Maybe it's my imagination.

Yeah. I was using SuSE 8.2 (which didn't include GNOME and I wasn't going to go to the hbuttle, especially given my prior experience) before switching back to Mandrake which I had used before, and my experience on Mandrake had been entirely pre-2.0 GNOME. Coming back to Mandrake (10.1) I gave it a try and....it's nice.

Mainly tried it out again because it was included in Mandrake 10.1 and when I saw it I instantly though, "woah, this looks rather Mac like..." And the more I've played around with it the more I like it. It's very polished, very smooth.
