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.

//s. So, it is up to the CD media! I do not watch DivXs on my desktop since it is 300 MHz, bla, bla, ... Then, I watch the movie on the laptop directly from the CD. Everything goes OK until the same place where the CD is "destroyed" and XP freezes. Reset! Here comes the interesting part. I fire up Debian and copy the contents of the CD with no and absolutely no problems at all!!! I started ProFTP daemon, copied the movie on the laptop, watched the movie and went to bed

Boy, your system must be frustrating! All that work to watch a video. I can watch DivXs through my 32" TV in about 15 seconds. Lounge on the couch, eat some popcorn, fall asleep. It's great!
