Somebody had trouble installing Linux on Dell PCs at work, but in the
end he succeeded.

I'm trying Linux atm (RH9) Running on it's own HD with XP on another drive in the same box. It's a real culture
shock going back to command lines for configuring the system and trying to find my way around the machine.
Otherwise most things installed OK and work OK apart from the onboard sound and the Winmodem - now replaced by a
real modem. The configuration and system management will need to be made much more intuitive before Linux causes Mr
Gates to have any sleepless nights. Though £18.00 for the OS and some very good office and network software +
security +tweakability + no limit to the number of machines you can put it on and the Open Source aspect is already
tempting to some. As a Windows user who only knows how to push buttons it's a very steep learning curve.
