HI all
I am a huge fan of Linux and Fedora in particular. I just bought another low budget pc with windows xp on so I could test how my software (php/xml) looks on internet explorer. Again it filled me with joy that I switched to Linux almost a year ago, for that windows box BSODed on me within the first fifteen minutes! (actually while trying to uninstall AOL) (BSOD=Blue Screen of Death = Kernel Error)
Still, one thing that windows handles well are bad cd's. When a cd fails, the whole os doesn't come crashing down. I was just ripping the cd Europe 1982-1992 on my Linux box and listening to my collection with amaroK. Suddenly the system got in an endless loop. The 5 seconds of music in the play buffer were repeated over and over again. I ejected the cd but that didn't save the system. I tried also to ssh in but that wasn't possible either. It didn't respond to pusing the poweroff button and the only solution was forced power off.
With kind regards
Andy
