I have an OLD IBM PS/1 and it has NEVER frose/crashed/lostinformation etc etc.. it's ran flawlessly! AND IT'S Y2K READY!:) it's the best pc i've ever owned!
Ok.. I don't think this guy is in any place to say "Linux is hard to install" he doesn't know crap about computers (it's not that hard to figure out that the card the monitor is pluged into is the video card) and from my understanding has never installed any other os. I'm 15 years old.. and i had no problem installing Linux on sevral difrent Computers.. . I will admit that to the "webUser" (users who only use a computer for word processing/email/web) Linux can seem dificult.. But what about win98? the only Reason it was easyer for them is because it came PREINSTALLED. these people are the type of people who want to run linux to make themselfs look like a hacker or a computer wiz.. . well, right now.. linux is not the right os for those people.. . linux is a powerful network/server os w/ alot of featurs and stabelity.. . not some AOL style user interface.. made for only email and web browsing.. . althoue companies like RedHat and SuSE are makeing Linux much easyer to install and configure.. there's still the fact that people just don't want to see a prompt and type 'startx' to get into a gui.. these are the type of people who would be beter off w/ an imac.. Linux is not some "fad" it's an os that was designed to offer the power of the unix os for the pc.. and it's exceeded that expectation.. Linux is getting more user freindly.. but do we really want it to be? when it gets to the point that we need to click throw 20 questions to delete a file or hear a cute little message whenever we have new mail.. or even see a nice little animation when copying files.. then it becomes annoying.. and loses some of it speed and power.. people were forced to learn how to use a mouse and how to use windows.. why cant they learn linux and like it for what it is.. if they want a "computer game" of an os they can stick with windows and suffer the countless lockup's and data loss's.. or they can do a little work and learn a bit about there computer and linux and be rewarded with a much more powerful os.. if i can learn it they can as well.. i spent a grate deal of time learning linux.. and most of them spent even more learning windows.. they just want a free windows.. thats what it all comes down to. anyone with a little common sence and a bit of knolage can install linux. i love linux the way it is.. i admit.. there are somethings that i would want to change.. or add.. but thats reserved for the years when i decide to make myself my own distro;) for now.. my hat goes off to SuSE for provideing one of the Best overall distro's of linux i've seen.
AMD has always put out good products, I'm a die-hard AMD fan and this new Athlon processor blow's p3's away. One problem that AMD has is most people who don't know much about computers don't know who AMD is.. . meanwhile kids which are 4years old know what intel is. I think AMD should go on an advertiseing campaine to promote the new Athlon stateing the facts, if not to bost sales then to let everyone know there still around:) the k6 2 was well marketed.. lets hope the same is instore for the Athlon.
