Of all operating systems i've dealt with so far, Linux seems to consistently choose the worst methods for installing new drivers, updating them, etc. Even Windows for Workgroups was better in this regard. This is probably the biggest remaining issue with making Linux accessible to non-tech users (well, some might argue that a software installer that makes sense is a bigger problem, and i actually won't argue back). -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
