Linsux and Winbloze - There is no decent operating system for the PC!

WHAT? Certainly not. Mandrake is more bloated than Redhat...I installed Mdk and had 85 processes running (with KDE), and Fedora with KDE was 65. But indeed, the default kernel is a bloat problem.

When I was a n00b I learned how within a week though it may be tougher with today's hardware. Also, kernel 2.6 will speed everything up, though it currently has a nasty problem that messes up dual boots, so don't touch that for the moment.

yea, I agree! I think I waited for the 2.4 kernel hit around the teens. Think i'm gonna do that for the 2.6 as well

Nope. You have to edit c:\msdos.sys, and add a line called Splash=o to it. Can't remember what section, though.

Sounds like a good idea, and would fit in with me because I like telling people how to fix stuff when they should know already. :D
However, helping Windows...is not in our interests here.

Ok I'm an idiot, perhaps Linux doesn't suck quite so much after all!
Sorry, I should have been more patient with Linux!
Sorry, WMD if you thought my last post was dumb, the last bit was a joke though, well in fact the whole post sucked. I often say silly things when I'm pissed off, I just was just a bit fed-up and disappointed. I was expecting some sort of miracle OS that would solve all the problems I had with Microcock Winbloze Xpee!
The last thing I expected was more problems!
Oh by the way I've had a play around with Linux on a friend's computer, it looks pretty smart to me!
The games look cool and they run reasonably fast too! (well it is a 2.5GHz 1GB RAM monster so I'm not going to get my hopes up too much, I mean it's nearly powerful enough to run Wronghorn!)
Linux proberly wasn't keen on my computer it has a label on the case that says
