I have been lurking on alt.linux for some time, and I
have seen alot of folk complaining about Linux.
It's just really beginning to annoy me. Yes, Linux can
be a bit difficult for newcomers and Windoze-users to
set up properly, and for example driver installation
is not as easy as in Windoze. There are also many
non-consistent things, depending on which desktop
environment one chooses to use, but so what? If you
can't set up Linux up properly, you still don't have to
say Linux sucks, doesn't work or such! Ask for help, or
just revert back to what you used before. Simple as
that. I myself have been using Linux since -96,
converted already my little bro to use it too. I also
have some trouble at times, for example when I bought
a new digital camera. But after I had it set up
properly, it worked even better than under Windoze!
Oh, and I noticed someone complaining about sluggishness.
Well, I assume he meant sluggishness in X. The problem
probably is just that he didn't use the right driver for
his graphics card. Just have to mention that I watch
movies, I play games, I have a web-server and so forth..

Just, if you are not ready for Linux, don't blame it for
that!
