At least you are able to configure Linux. If "wizards" failed in Windoze,
I was almost never able to do it manually. With Linux you can do everything
you ever can dream, _if_ you know how to do it.
BTW, I think Linux has much richer and nicer (=ineffient, yes) GUIs than Windose.

I have been tortured by crashing Windows 95 for many, many years and my
mental stability may have been suffered, so my views may be too b&w.

Let me tell you why I use Linux: Some time ago, I made a mistake and
tried to access data on a cdrom using a well-known commercial os. It
totally freezed! Only by pressing eject button of the cd-drive I
managed to reboot my machine. - Esko Lehtonen
