Linux and me

Why do you want to try Linux? Are you really fed up with Windows?

Do you have any reason to leave the simplicity of installing Windows programs?

Just out of interest, what kind of dependecy problems do you have, or what RPMs are you missing? I've never had any dependency issues in Mandrake or Red Hat that I can remember that couldn't be resolved with what's on the distro CDs.

Hmmm 90% sounds pretty fucking good. How does Wine run DOS stuff that windows 95 would normally run in a  DOS box? If WineX worked good enough(or I learnt how to configure it and Linux), I would say f0ck it, and not bother to install W95 or W98(had to remove it to format my 8 gig)

What about Win4Lin...

Ok, so what is the point of compiling your own emulator instead of having a pre-made install exe? What good is being able to configure it for your system when you can barely make a hello world program, and you don't know shit about Linux so you don't have anything TO optimize it for? Unless compiling it on your own system gives a magic performance boost automatically. Seems illogical, but if it was true... that would rock.  :D
