147237 2003-05-24 22:35:00 You probably haven't set it up properly and it is waking up for an even such as data on the network (Wake up on LAN) or Keyboard (cat jumped on it), etc.

99% of problems are caused by people not setting things up properly and taking the simple option of blaming someone else.

147238 2003-05-24 23:47:00 In the last 3 years, I have NEVER been able to get a Linux system up and running, let alone installed. Tried on 2 different computers, and 3 different distros (RedHat6.2, Redhat 7.2, Slackware). All of them die halfway through installation.

At least Windows installs properly.

Maybe i'm doing something wrong, or my computers simply hate Linux. (they were designed for Windows though)

No problems here. I've got different distributions running on 5 different computers here (i686's and i586's). I've also install GNU/Linux on about 10 different computers at an installfest without a problem. Someone else did have a problem with the installation locking up, but it seems uncommon.
