Is how much time I waste with the flakey wireless on my XP laptop compared to (these days) most distributions being almost trouble free on my (main) desktop machine. |

oh goodie, let us whine together! XP Pro gives me absolute fits over connecting to unsecured access points. In classic Windows fashion, it thinks it knows better and insists that I need a WEP key. Heck, you'd think it would love an open WAP, so the malware can get there faster. |

The thing I find amusing is the number of things that just run on Linux, that require that you first install drivers from the supplied CD, on windows. |

*points to huge pile of Windows driver disks (or is that "discs"?) * Yah... I too prefer things to just work. And our new system I went and picked the hardware veeery carefully to make sure every piece of it will work with me desktop OS of choice. |

>That's what the AOL, People PC, and NetZero CD's are for. Well, OK then. |

At least in the olden daze you could re-use those AOL floppy disks. Though hanging the CDs on fruit trees helps keep the birds out. |

Hey I give all my old Linux CDs and DVDs away to people who want free coasters (social clubs for example), any windows ones, such as those that come with the hardware i buy, is either binned or removed from the packet at the shop, and given back to the shop owner, with the comment "I won't be needing this, I've got Linux". |
