Hi It's J.
I have owned an HP i2000 ( Intel Itaninum dual 800
mhz) for months, the seller had stripped the acompaning software, to only parts
of the HP-UX system, only the MS-XP-64-bit video driver cd, and a hand full of
papers.
---- IT's still not running, I bought and
tried Debian, and MS-XP-64bit.
I purchased Debian Woody 3.x got a plasid screen
with a big "X" for a cursor. My disappointment, was not dampended for this
was the same result from Red-Hat linux, I purchased just 4 years before,
for on a pentium dual 333mhz system. BOY what
progress we have made since then, RIGHT.
Now I have read the stats. on the percentage of
systems, using linux running the internet, being in the high " 80's
." NOW ! ! ! ! I thought, I would try again and
got the same results.
I read the Debian " Code of Contact " some what
conflicting, stating to be extra nice and give a multitude of thanks before
asking for help. BUT, also to expect beligerence on the part of
experienced 'Debianites' to bash the ignorant 'NEW comers'
I had just a similar experence, in trying to
directly contact, one who normally comments, on most subject matter on this
forum. Yes I got bashed ! ! ! ! and for a
FEE my queries, may get consideration. Maybe this type
of actions over the years, is why for a start-up system, linux just wont load up
on systems any better than years ago.
THE HEART OF QUEST
-- Was to be FREE in experssion, just as the free
software we were all working toward creating ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? SO AS
to get away from restrictive propritary systems, like MS, HP, and SUN ? ? ?
?
Ian Wienand, seems like the first breath of fresh
air on this forum, below I relate his remarks:

=
" but I will need to relook at the Debian package
build to find what else is wrong in the way
it builds. " =
=
=
Now how about you old timers, as you call
yourselves, get out of the beligerent mode, and take "UP the TORCH" and work
with us new-bee's and MEN like Ian, and let get this "System Install" in a
"USER" condition.
I Thank you all for putting up with my trashing of
the forum's progress, but some of us are users not Professers, or System
Administrators.
THANKS TO ALL
J.
PS. Ian go get 'em'.
