hehehe...

i gave redhat8 a spin when it first came out. it was nice, and i still have it installed on another computer. i tried it out because at the time i wanted to get into and audio program called CSound, and another called JMax and i knew i could get free, reliable versions on linux. alas, hardware issues (my sound card didn't work at all for linux) forced me to abandon the project. i have since installed a new card (audigy2) and am procrastinating on the reinstalling redhat so everything will work right from the beginning, rather than trying to find drivers and go through all that

tar_gz or whatever the command was...

also, i like my XPpro box. it's nice and perty! and it does all of the things i need it to do pretty flawlessly.

given the problems i've had with linux, i'd say bikes are more like macs. but, given that macintoshes are privvy to quit working with NO notice, and NO error message, i would say that a bicycle is in no way like a computer.

i wish MS would get on the BSD tip like apple did with OSX.
