As a long time computer user, and non-professional programmer for many
years, my biggest gripe about Linux is NOT that it doesn't work out of
the box, but that the help is written in a non-problem solving way.
The help simply describes the "anatomy" of the system, failing totally
to deal with the "diseases".
e.g. It should have things like...
If your USB ports hang the system,
check the following.
It doesn't.
I now have Ubuntu doing what I need it for,
i.e. accessing the internet and wordprocessing in which macros I've
defined convert standard Irish into old Irish type with the dots
instead of Hs.
It works with USB, but slowly. I can't find out how to speed it up.
Suse would not work reliably on 2 of my computers with USB, at all.
Suse 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2.
Suse is probably the word for Donkey Shit in Bayerisch!
