No wonder why people hate Linux.

Crikey on a stick, but that freaking sucked! Ugh, the stupid mandrake linux installer I got from Dr. Scott was supposed to have made things easy. And Russ told me how simple it was. What a damn liar. Honestly. Okay, so some things weren't too hard, but some are completely impossible. For one thing, I haven't the foggiest how the hell to get it to figure out how to connect to the net. You can't just pick a wireless card from a list or anything. But I can circumvent that. But then, I keep testing my graphic stuff, and it never passed the test. But I just said screw it, because none of the options fixed it. And when it's all done installing (at least I figured out how to make windows the default boot), I find that it doesn't boot to the graphical type of thing. I mean, I come to a prompt that makes me log in. And haven't the foggiest clue in hell how to go from the command prompt to something like the KDE interface or whatever the graphical interface is called. All that sucks beyond the telling of it towards actually getting any work done on it. And to top it off, apparently by having linux recognize my printer, it stopped Windows from recognizing it. Now I have to track down the disk for my printer if I ever want to print from it. Oh joy of joys. I'd try to fix it tomorrow, but the power guy is supposed to come over tomorrow to install the extra powerage that my dad needs for his shop, so the power should be out for up to like 8 hours at the most. *faceplant*
