Such a dissapointment.
Over the recent weeks I have really put in the
hours getting to grips with Linux by way of Fedora, having progressed from FC3-4
and now FC5.
Being more than satisfied with results until now.
Big problem.
I went and bought a PCMCIA card for my laptop
hoping to be able to use it.
My HDD is divided into two - Windows XP and Fedora
5.
It took probably about 2 minutes to install
the card, up and running under XP.
Some six hours later, after reading through
numerous internet descriptions on how one might install such a device,
downloading and installing gigabytes of files, wrappers etc. etc... still
nothing! Eventually giving up in despair I decided that some of my original
fears about Linux have to be correct. It is just a muddle of half cooked amateur
computer files cobbled together to resemmble an OS that probably performs
somewhere at about 60% compared to that of Bill Gates' Windows.
Over the past years I have tried linux, different
flavours, different version, always the same frustrating result.
One wonders when the linux comunity will either
ever get it right or give it up as a bad job.
Such as what by todays technology standards should
be such a simple affair, as Microsoft have proved - plug in and install a PCMCIA
wireless card within three minutes - no typing fingers to the bone wearing out
keyboards in the process, for no result in six hours!!!! Guiness Book of Records
stuff me thinks!
