Linux sucks ass.
At least, mandrake linux 10.0 on my machine does. Holy shit, I never had so much trouble installing programs in my life. It was screen after screen of, "Oh, you need this .rpm file to install this .rpm file". It went on and on. I'm talking about 10 hours of trying to install the latest GCC compiler or GAIM and getting borderline hysterical ranting to my friends about how all these god damn linux cheerleaders do nothing but talk about how awful windows is, when two weeks 3 trials of different linuxes (I forget the name of the other two, but Mandrake Linux was the first let-down) later and I'm still frustrated as hell and regretting ever even converting.
I'm sure linux is more functional and all, which is great, but holy shit. I've never been so frustrated with a computer in my life.
