Subject: Redhat, Mandrake, Suse
I recently got a new Compaq laptop, I fought with it for
days trying to install redhat, finaly gave up and tryed mandrake
both totaly locked up after incorectly installing a driver for
the firewire port(1394) which I did not want anyway, but there
was no way to turn it off, I got ticked and sent the thing back
and got a new HP laptop, more $$ more features, but Unfortunatly
I couldnt get a amd cpu with out waiting another month by special
order so I have to put up with the intel (p4) at anyrate it does
excatly the same thing and redhat or mandrake refuses to install
I sent e-mail till I was blue in the face, Called redhat, all they
would say was send us big bucks and we will give you tech support
no they would not garenty they could/would fix it... they was rude
and totaly worthless on the phone. D/loaded suse... Guess what
installed flawlessly, works perfectly, FREE ONLINE UPGRADES. can do rpms
, the installer program ( Yast2 ) is wonderfull. I'll leave Cobra alone
but all the rest of my systems are going to SUSE.
