off topic : WinLinux
I am proudly announcing my 87th failure to penetrate the Linux
universe. Well, to tell the truth, I lost the count long time ago.
Mercifully I don't remember where I read about WinLinux universal
remedy, a sure fire thing, a piece of cake. I spent all Sunday
downloading it, all 145 Mbytes. I should have known better.
First of all, it did not recognize my Cirrus Logic card, the most
common, cheap alternative around here two years ago. It offered me a
*16 color* generic driver instead. Ok, great, I thought, I can always
fire my old Amiga in the basement, if I want to see a rainbow. It did
not notice my cdrom either. Not a problem, finally I found some use
for the retired 486 across the room.
The rest was plain sailing, as promised. It took only ten minutes and
about 800 Mbytes of space, and it even installed a pretty icon on my
desktop.
Then I double clicked it and the whole bloody thing disappeared into a
black hole...
Deep depression is setting in fast, I am almost suicidal. All I need
to tip me right over is reassurance I am the only twit around who is
denied entry into this paradise.
