Hi Mav
Thanks for the advice and I sincerely mean that.
But! Let me explain.
I do not like SuSE. I was willing to give SuSE a third chance. The first time
I tried SuSE Red Hat 5.3 was going strong. You can figurt the years I can
not. The second time was when Red Hat came out with 8.0 and the Blue curve.
For some reason maybe it was my first experience I just feel that I should be
elseware.
The last time I was this discusted with commerical Linux was the second time I
gave SuSE a chance. I finally settled on Mandrake as an apporiate
distribution.
What I now see happening is that Mandriva is going to be as buggie as a
collonie of bed bugs honoring me by allowing me to be the guest of honor. I
just do not believe I want to go through that hell a third time,
I tried SuSE; it did not work out of the box; to bad; good by SuSE ant that is
exactly the way I feel.
Thanks again for the technical advice.
