Hi Dave, Like you, I`ve had endless problems with Linux.
I`ve just Dloaded KUbuntu (yes both).
They both boot nicely, and give me the option to install to
Hdrive. That`s a great improvement, `cos I`ve always had GFX
problems before.
I still can`t resolve my printerscannercopier problems tho`.
And there is no hope for my creative x-FI sound card, until
mid 2007.
Sadly these are not the Linux communities` fault.
If the manufacturers, ie. Epson, and Creative won`t release
the code to the open source programmers, they can`t produce
what we need, YET.
It will happen though. It`s just a case of being patient.
