I'm afraid that after persevering with Linux
(Redhat) I'm giving up and returning to the Windows fold!
I got Linux running but the work involved in
getting peripherals running such as IDSN cards, printers, CD burners, Zip
drives, USB ports, Digital Cameras, Sound cards etc is prohibitive.
Ignoring all the software that doesn't come in a Linux version.
I'm not speaking as a computing novice but someone
with experience of computers since before the PC and some (I admit just a
little, but some) experience of UNIX.
In my opinion LINUX will remain a niche OS, used
only by techies and UNIX professionals. It will never attain widespread
recognition and remove Microsoft's dominance until it has been made much much
much easier to install.
Sadly, I have removed all trace of Linux and
reinstalled Windows 98, a job which took a few hours.
