I thought I had a alternative to Win95 when I first intalled Linux. But
after days of use I am determined to delete it.  Linux is just like DOS
vs APPLE to install and use when comparing it to Win95. I have other
friend who did the same thing.  Linux just won't beat Win95, never, not
even in another life if it continues to be such user-unfriendly.  The
moral: Never have high expectations for something like this.

Be careful. I knew a person who willingly removed Linux
from his hard drive and his house has been haunted with
strange daemons since then, and every night the same nightmare
comes over and over again: a hord of big and hungry penguins
with knives and forks are chasing him all over a snow desert.
He went through all kinds of terapeutic and pcychoatric
treatments: nothing helped until he installed it again.

Beware!!!

This sounds a lot like you didn't even try.

Is "user-friendliness" the only criteria which you use to compare one OS
to another? If so, then yes.. you should go back to Win95. Even if you
are finding it difficult to interface with Linux, then just get someone
who knows what they're doing to set it up and configure it all for you,
then just run fvwm95 or some similar window manager which will make life
easier for you, I prefer console mode to be honest. Still things will and do
break, so you need to be able to handle it when things*up.

Frank,
  I am concerned by your post. I don't like seeing anyone giving
up on Linux. I truly believe Linux is the finest full and complete
operating system on the planet. However, I do realize Linux is still
a work in progress. I will give more full definition to this belief
if you request.

I can suggest that in future, should you decide to give Linux a reasonable
try and full evaluation, you use one of the readily available sources of
assistance. I would also suggest, you clearly develope what your
expectations are and ASK ahead of time. There are some excellent people
in the Linux newsgroups that I have watched and learned from over the past
several years and they consistently respond with high quality answers to
specific questions. They are one of Linux's greatest resources...

Regards,

Harley

I agree.  I am currently booting 95, NT4, and Linux.  I am new to Linux
(and any sort of Un*x).  It's hard for me.  But the goal is worth the
effort.  I *hate* being tied to Microsoft.  One day I will be free.  Why
give up when multiple-OS configuration is an option?  I'm just taking my
time, learning a little bit every day.
