I got a HP in 2001. had it for a few months and the slid that is used to open the lid broke off. So i sent it in to have it fix. they sent it back to me charged me $25 for shipping and told me that i abused it so they wouldn't fix it. Don't know about you but when the slide brakes i think its from using it not abusing it. Best part of it was the battery wouldn't not hold a charge when i got it back it took me 2 months to get them to send me a new one. will NEVER own another HP.
i been trying to install debian for about 3 weeks now. just got it up and running but cant get any aps to run on it. trying to get apache postfix and mysql working, thinking about going back to mandravia just to get it working.
What it comes out to is that intel has been around far longer then AMD and it the early years intel was able to start those love hate friendships that everyone talks about. AMD cators to the computer geek end users and we all know how the advrige geek is, broke or they hord all there moeny. I think that if, big if, AMD wins there law suite aganst intel that there stock will go up along with there RnD budget and with that they will make better cheeper chips that will give them a better market share. I dont think that it will ever be 50-50, and to be honsit I hope that it never is. Being that AMD has to make up ground in the market place gives them the push to make better chips. If they over take intel I dont think intel will make the push to make things better to over take AMD and at that point I think that things will slow way down. IMHO
Mandrake is the first linux system that I installed my my system that worked. I tryed suse 9.1 but it was full of bugs, which I have sence heard that is now fixed in 10.x and later. But I have not had much of a poblom with mandrake other then the newbie user errors that I caused. I am now getting ready to move fully over to linux on my desk top and I plan on useing mandrak for the time being
