Linux 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've always had problems getting Redhat and Mandrake to work on my hardware, yet good old boring "it doesn't have a GUI installer" Slackware has ALWAYS worked properly from the start. Same with FreeBSD.
