| 130900 | 2003-03-26 00:43:00 | Very well put, Ive had sound-card troubles too, using my Laptops Crystal soundcard... I simply chose a different driver. Hald the problem is people dont know where to go coz they're like: Where do I go to find the control panel and adjust the volume? Sorry pal's, its not the Control Panel in Linux and you dont adjust the volume in it usually :-) Its likely a seperate program, and Linux is different - that's what people find harder coming to grips with. |

| 130901 | 2003-03-26 00:45:00 | Yeah, Im currently on Win2K too.. Reverting two PC's at home that were on XP to it... That, and both will Dual-Boot with Lycoris. Lycoris natively supports WinModems so that's gotta be a real plus! And the thing is that a lot of hardware already has drivers in Linux, which could be why :-) In saying that, Im most at home with Win2K Pro ;-) |

CDrom drives that dident detect, running out of disk space, runnign out of ram, not being able to play some dos games, not being able to find drivers , win-modems that dident work, crashes by the thousand. this was ment to be microsofts best OS ever. Yes linux has some problems when you start out but which OS dident have problems in the first few versions. I dont run linux because i cant get my sound to work, i still like liunx for what it is, a expermental OS that is more stable than windows. in the current world if you dont like linux then dont use it. if you dont like windows then try linux or beos. five years ago if you dident like windows then you had no other choice. right now I dont see linux as a desktop solution for everone but if about 3 years it might be. linux might not be the choice for everone but I like the fact the we have the choice. |

It would be great if Lycoris and Linux in general supported most winmodems but it doesn't yet does it... or does it??? |

| 130906 | 2003-03-26 03:28:00 | Well.. That's good then for the users of those 75% of WinModems, the rest are in the poo... ;-) Yeah, right now its not an extremely large Desktop-OS threat to MS, however in the server market it reigns supreme AFAIK. Im with the idea of 'Give it 3 years', and you never know, by then there may be another contender to the market that makes Linux users feel a bit awkward about it :-) |
