Why I dumped Linux and Went Back to Windows. 99
On Tue, 22 Feb 2005 22:06:07 -0500, narrowswhitefish I had no difficulty installing a Brother HL1440 on one of my towers - and it immediately appeared on the other...
Epiphany isn't really that bad... I just like firefox for all around browsing though. And as far as crashing, like I said, it has gotten better and it may be a result of excessive optimization... I'm going to try and reinstall it with less optimization, and see if that makes a difference.
Why would firefox be preloaded? I thought only IE and office did that
Like I said - it seems to be faster, but I haven't done any benchmarks to prove it.
Again, they've gotten better, but their still there. By the way, I also notice some of these in Mozilla as well (particularly the alt-tab thing).

Well, it was like Mandrake 8 something or other. And it kept hanging while it tried to update it self (even though, I kept telling it not to). It would hang for a while and then crash and never come back up. About the 3rd time I tried, it actually booted up, but then X kept crashing. So, I just gave up on it. Actually, I did install Mandrake once under MS's Virtual PC. It looked ok...
To be honest, Liam, I'm not that thrilled about RPM based distro's now that I have had a taste of Gentoo - Yast seemed nixe, but I just like Gentoo's portage better. That is probably why I didn't really like SuSE that much. It also didn't start off on the right foot by messing up the boot sector so that XP wouldn't boot anymore. Fortuantely, it was a known issue with 2.6 kernels and parted, and SuSE provided a fix for it.
Tony Hwang Hi, You want to know what's wrong with it? About 8 hours ago, it destroyed my computer. That's right...after running PM and...
Well I just did... SuSE 9.1 most definately was. I don't know about Mandrake cause it never installed right on my machine. RH wasn't to hot either.
I've never had too many issues... XP is somewhat sluggish on the little 900 MHz Duron I have it running on one machine at work - but that only has 128 MB of RAM...
I guess I can agree on that. I just wish OO could be made somewhat faster, then it wouldn't be just nice, it might actually be great.
Well I do on Gentoo... A quick google search shows that I'm not the only one, but on the RH Bugzilla they blame it on KDE. What ever :)
