I guess im going back to windows. I have been trying to run Linux since red hat in about 1996. If you ever get a working version I would love to try it but so far every version fails. I dont have time to spend days or weeks searching for the fix or help on these forums. I have spent the last week downloading and installing the latest versions as well as trying some of my older versions.
Suse kind of worked, but I just spent the last 5 hours trying to install a printer. In windows Its a wireless network printer. I load the disk, tell it were its at and Im done. Linux cant find it on the network. None of the versions I have had will work. Finally I plugged it in on a usb cable. Suse found it but refuses to install it. It says I have to select a driver. It cant find a driver. The printer came came with linux drivers but linux refuses to use them. I told linux to use the driver anyway but it refuses to put in the driver list and I cant go on.
Im tired of spending hours and hours and even days, on simple problems. This stuff just works on windows. On Linux it seems to be an unsolvable problem. On windows I connect the device load the disk and im done! I hate windows and I really wish to run linux, but I need to have version that works. I have tried red hat, mandrake ,icepack , ubuntu, kubuntu, and now suse. I have been trying them since the mid 90s. I really hate windows. I would really like linux, if it would just work!!!
