"If you're going to be a member of a horde, it might as well be a horde of intelligent programmers rather than a horde of halfwits who need that little message that says "click here" bouncing next to the Windows Start button to figure out what to do." I reasoned. So I ordered a copy of Red Hat Linux 6.0, which arrived today at 12:42. Seven hours and thirteen minutes later, I have accomplished the following:
1. created a boot disk to run the installation program
2. deleted one of my windows partitions so I could repartition it into a couple of linux partitions
3. selected the things I wanted to install from a long list of incredibly arcane choices
4. waited for said choices to install
5. been forced to abort because the program makes some kind of error while looking for my mouse
6. repeated above 10+ times
Currently am incredibly frustrated. Supposedly everything will be wunderbar if I can get the bally thing to install, but it refuses to install.
