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.

I know that my friend has had a hell of time getting his Ethernet card to work with XP even with vaunted vendor support.
I know that I have gotten application crashes and stuff that is only supposed to relegated to less unstable versions of Windows.
I know that XP is better. But still, it seems like crap shoot some of our XP and 2000 boxes run just fine like champs and others give us nothing but grief.
