Several days ago I wrote a rather scathing article about my utter dismay and disappoint with Mandrake 9.1 and by association, Linux as a whole. Since then I have had many many flames and equally as many agreeing emails (is there a simple opposite word for flame?) Since then I have been trying, really really trying to get my system working fully. But time and again I'm coming up against the same brick wall of (un)usability, computer esotericism and down right idiocy.

To all you Linux Experts. Why don't you do something constructive. If you have got a peticular platform installed, with all of the applications working, lets say on laptop brand xyz model 666. Why don't you make a recovery cd and send it to sourceforge so us f-ing idiots can get past go. (partimage or makerecovercd)
I believe that until linux software is easier to install, that platform specific distro's are the answer. For example, why don't one of you genius's build a home entertainment pc (HTPC) using a via m9000 motherboard which has nearly everything onboard, get everything working just right, make a disk image, then send it to the mirrors for us to download and use.
It will prove that you really do know what your doing and not just a box of farts that's just as bald headed as the rest of us from pulling your f-ing hair out. Who knows, maybe VIA will notice and make you a buncha $$$$$
(p.s. Install the DVD css but disable it in a way that people in countries who can, can enable it easily. ie. add a missing file.)
