thanks for this. watching microsoft continue down its evil road with Vista, which I've been watching with growing horror on my girlfriend's computer, I was very close to buying a linux machine from Dell. this thread has turned me off from it forever. not only are all the technical issues beyond my ken (I am only half a geek, though there was some question about that in middle school), but the attitude of pro-linux users on this site is just awful. It is impossible for me to understand the flaming warfare from Linux loyalists against those who just want smooth, user friendly access to the internet, which after all is a necessary condition to accessing support and getting help if there is a problem. Forget it -- I'll give another look at apple or stick with windows xp, which after all usually works pretty smoothly and does what I want it to, though I know from experience it is very slow and inefficient...................
And, ah, hats off to you Linux underdogs who can't get the right information about the chips and whatnot. That's a tough break. There's a steep uphill climb to create a viable 3rd party. But it's a good test and a good quest. I'll come back 5 years from now and see how you're doing.
