fails to crash on each and every day. The 'upgrade' was forced by M$'s embrace and extend tactic... I know what you mean there. We are now having NT forced on us and this is one of the reasons I really want to learn Linux and make it work for us here.
To each his own. I don't follow. I am not saying that I prefer MS, I only want to see Linux work without so many problems.
I don't see any problems in Linux to 'fix'. From my zip drive and That is difficult to accept. Just look at all the problems discussed on this mailing list. Maybe your system works well for you but I bet you had to do some work to get it there.
I spent a lot of time fixing problems and getting the Linux system to work. With 6.2 I had to manually tamper with rc.config because SuSE 6.2 didn't propery handle DHCP with two NICs. With 6.3 I found that lprold was defective. I struggled a long time with Kdevelop before I got it to work, and that was only after I upgraded from the one that was on the CD. I also wasted a lot of time with the firewall in 6.3 and no one except Lenz Grimmer came close to helping me to find that the firewall was rejecting the DHCP offers from my ISP. I never did get the SB AWE32 card working in 6.3. Finally in 6.4 things are working fairly well but now kpackage is broke.
