That's it, I've had enough!

Hello feedback,

  There's nothing more that can piss off a User than "not" having adequate information per Distro. 

You're missing info on packages/appz included with each Distro and descriptions per each. Switching from CD to CD problems if any on install etc. 

Most ppl are regular users that just want to stick in a CD and it installs automatically with little intervention. They want all their hardware to be picked up automatically, including peripherals like: scanners, mice, sound cards, printers, monitors, NIC's, TV-tuners, LAN's, USB, CD's, cameras, PDA's, Internet-cams, floppies and anything else they attach to their PC. Lots of them have picked up PC's that have been discarded and need replacement OS for those mixed and matched hardware and Winblows boxes. 

They want to have choices of a Workstation, Servers, Science appz, firewalls, backtracking intruders/spammers, cluster appz, tarpits/honeypots, easy updates/patches, anti-spam appz, etc. Mainly free of bloatware [as anything C++ tends to get], easy user interfaces, popups per function and examples per each. So an average Joe or Jane "off the street" can sit at one and just use it without hassles. 

I know it's possible to accommodate these 386/486/P1/P2 boxes and make 'em work much faster than any Winblows box if someone would design Linux with proper [fast] operating systems and with all points included. 

I wouldn't mind taking a shit load of 386's to P2's and making them into comprehensive super computer, distributed computing and or shared resource LAN. And these's lots of us out here!

To this point I've checked half the Distro's listed, that seemed like they would be OK at www.linux.org and every one has problems with something. Not one have I been able to install on an i386 to i586 without major pissin' around! Most just plain wouldn't work with basic hardware as stated above. 

That's pretty bad when Winblows gets higher marks for ease of setup and use compared to Linux :(  And I thought Linux users wanted to put Microcrap out of business. HA!
