RE: kernel sound

[Paul Sims <nospam [at] lombard.co.uk>]

I'd like to point out that SpireLUG, a close neighbour of ShefLUG (I'm a
member of both) meets every fortnight, school hols permitting, at Meadows
Community School, Old Whittington, nr Chesterfield. Anyone facing problems
they can't resovle is more than welcome to bring their PC along (with modem
etc if applicable) we'll do our best to sort the problems hands on.

I don't like to see folk give up because of one or two difficulties when
one-on-one help is probably all that is needed.

Paul.

Having to recompile your kernel just to get sound up running is the
second
main reason why Linux is a long way from being able to challenge Win in the
desktop market - ppp being the first. How can a person new to the OS be
expected to learn about it through exploration when they don't have a fully
configured system to play with? A friend a mine to whom I introduced Linux
(rh6) has just told be he's jacking it in, having exhausted his initial
enthusiasm in the struggle for ppp sound configuration. He'll try Linux
again, he says, when basic stuff like this is as straightforward as it is
with Windows.
