Linux Is So Bad it Has To Be a Joke... Exposing the Linux Myth, or

I'm sorry that you've had a less than stellar experience with Linux. My experiences have all been very positive. I've set up three computers in our home network, and all is working very well - much more stable than when we ran MS Windows and it crashed every day or two. My have has no difficulty browsing the web, doing e-mail, printing color pictures, etc. The Apollo P2200 inkjet printer works flawlessly, as does the Brother HL1440 Laser printer. We share an Epson Perfection 2400 scanner over the network, as well. I installed Mandrake 10.1 OE on the public access internet computers at the local library, and after three months, there have been NO complaints. The library director tells me that the biggest difference is that before, when they were running MS, she had to be out on the floor three or four times to help patrons with internet problems - now, they just run. I drop by every week or so just to see if there are any difficulties and do the updates. Then when I need a relief from the boredom, I try to straighten out some MS computers they have for games in the children's area (no internet access allowed).
