I am trying to learn linux for other reasons, but until I can get a fully accesable version I guess I won't be.
I got on better with Suze, better than Red Hat or Ubuntu.
Secure wireless was fun, whenever I tried to use WEP etc it from linux it would kill the router! Lovely.
So had to run unsecured with a MAC access list on the router, wasn't what I wanted.

Got fed up having to cut and paste reems of code to get things to work with no one actually explaining anything, and of course not knowing if within that code someone had put anything malicious, or just made a mistake which would screw everything up, or just not work.
Posts after posts in forums of similar hardware problems I was experiencing, with either no feedback, or "Got it sorted" and no explaination.

Wanted to use the 64bit version as I've got an AMD 64, but ran into the same problems as Win64, lack of 64bit drivers.
