I`ve just tried for the fifth time to install a version of Linux,
and for the fifth time I`ve failed.
The reason ?.
I`ve got a Creative x-fi sound card, and it`s not supported !
I`ve got a PrinterScannerCopier that`s not properly supported !
Both these items work perfectly in XP.
Of course Linux is OK if your hardware fits, but check it out
