Linux Adventures
I spent some time today trying to get Red Hat 8 working on my laptop. It works fine, but I couldn't get it to recognize my wireless card properly. Oh well. Also, I don't like the way the interface looks on my wimpy 800x600 display. Oh, and there seem to be a number of bugs in various things. I probably could get it all running well, given enough time, but I'm getting lazy in my old age, so I wiped it out. I may try Madrake 9 on the laptop next. I'm curious. It sounds like a lot of people are using Mandrake now. I can't do any Linux stuff on my desktop right now, since I'm just about out of room on my hard drive. Maybe I'll get a new one and set something up next weekend.
