WC>-> what is the REAL Alterniatiave. Adn don't tell me LINUX or the Mac OS
WC>-> becauee they fall short. LInux in undrstandign the fool operating system
WC>-> and the Mac becaue of ALL the little favorate programs you MUST give up.
WC>-> A compromise I certenly am not going to make.

WC>Some of the latest bootable CD-ROM Linux releases are dead easy to
WC>install.
WC>From boot to fully configured my Linux CD takes 8 minutes.
WC>No problems here.

Sure NO problem to stick in the CD with the BIOS set to CD first Boot
Device and have a LINUX versionb come up. BUT it is a big step form that
and printing a doculent or going onto the Internet. And it is FAR less
automated then Windows.

WC>To install to hard drive takesd maybe 40 minutes.

IF yuo made it Work Congratualtions. I have several friends that
couldn't get it to work. Now this was wity v 3.6 and earlier. I haven't
looked into it for v 3.9
