'painful computing wint Windows'? - Linux isn't for stupids.. And aparently
Windows isn't either..:-)
My Raid controller works just fine with Mandrake - No problems!
My Via-BIOS works fine - No problems..

I tried Windows XP. It works for a period, then comes all the problems.
- lost files, system lock-up at boot, etc.
Linux - NO PROBLEMS!!
I'm never returning to WinBlows!!
