Ahh yes, finally I purchased linux. No more downloading hundreds of MB on a stupid AOL connection.
Windows For Linux seemed perfect for me. I would still want windows, but I wanted Linux on the same partition. Ahhhh, plain old happiness.
While browsing in CompUSA I come over to Windows For Linux, Mandrake Linux that does what I said above, installs Linux on the same Windows partition, with no formatting needed!
There I go, home happy, paying only $20.00 for 7.1 Mandrake. Oh well, 7.2 may be the newest, but how much of a difference can it be?
I open the box. There I find a regular software box. A Manual, a CD. I read the manuel, and do what it says.
I restart with the CD in the drive. I start the installation.
Whats this? An Error? How could it? It says on the cover easy installation and that it does support my computer. But could it be the CD? I test it on another computer. No, it isn't. What to do?
E-mail Tech Support, thats what. But you need to register to e-mail them. What the heck, I go ahead and register. It asks me computer information, personal information and my ISBN number. What's this, wrong ISBN number? It looks correct. Why, it is correct.
So, there I am, tech support free. With it being a holiday and all, I havent got an e-mail I sent to them about the problem with registration.
Oh well. Here I am sitting, hoping that right now I could be on my loving Linux, yes, just hoping.
Maybe tomorrow I will get a response. I pretty much am thinking that I won't get one.
Bye bye $20.
Just think, Linux and Windows, along with beOS. That would be my dream computer. Impossible you say? Think NOT!
I will accomplish my goal, whether I cannot eat for days. I will. I WILL. I CAN. I WILL. IF IT IS POSSIBLE I WILL DO IT. BECAUSE I AM...CHICKENMAN.

Okay, thats enough.
So I am still waiting for a response. Right now I could be playing Civilization, the game that comes with Linux. Too bad.
