[Gllug] Frustrated with Linux - Gllug #2621

[Frank Kelly]

Only a part-time geek so please understand if my teccy talk is sub-optimal!

I understand exactly how you feel - and the pressure to switch back to 
Windows!  I built my own machine (1Gig AMD, 80 Gig HD, 0.5 Gig RAM) and, on 
the whole, am happy with it's performance.  I run Suse Professional 8.0 
which, is a package I'd recommend - especially where ease of printing is 
concerned.  However, I have now had Linux for a year and still don't have a 
working floppy disk, still can't run certain sound packages, can't burn a CD 
and so on.  I help my partner operate a business and this does create a bit 
of pressure and, like you, I just don't have time to investigate.  

On the other hand, I like the control and the independence from Bill Gates!  
Times are hard - but this is a war after all.

My suggestions: Suse Professional 8.0 is good.  A faster machine would help.  
Suse includes Star Office, which seems to be able to deal with MS Office 
documents.
