I first got involved with Linux nearly 10 years ago when a co-worker introduced me to it. Since then, I have tried about a dozen different flavors on half a dozen different platforms. I have spent days and weeks at a time configuring, debugging and tweaking my systems. And I have to say, after all this hope and effort, I have had almost zero success with Linux. Sure, the basics work OK, if not a little buggy. But to get Linux to do wifi, or to sync with my PDA, or to recognize the various cameras I use, or to do video has all been an exercise in frustration. At this point, the only reason I stick with Linux at all is because I've become obsessed. I am determined to get some version of Linux working for me to see what people like you have been raving about. OK, so I don't really hate you; I'm just a little envious. And I hate you, too.
