Window XP Home ... wacko ...

Linux is actually very HW compatible ... for example my Creative soundcard just burned (the fucking piece of shit !!!) and I went out and bough a decent but cheap one. I was doubting it would work straight off with Linux, but it did ! Maybe I was just lucky ? So far Linux has succesfully detected any hardware I've thrown at it. (Note that the "not recognizing my laptop's HDD" bit was due to the 2.4 kernel being loaded by Debian based systems by default ... the 2.6 kernels support it just fine) :thumbup:

perhaps... I will have to check the version documentation. Don't see how ubuntu worked fine,

Linux can detect some weird things, I have this really old pcmcia external cdrom, worked fine first time with Damn Small Linux.

Win98SE doesn't care. Why the hell does everyone think they need XP for games when 98 works just as well?

Alot of games now, actually do no work win 9x, plus in a lot of cases win2k/XP is faster then win98 on some newer hardware
