Currently I have a box with Fedora Core 3 and a laptop with Simply Mepis. I upgraded to Windows 95 but was still unhappy with the instability of the OS, so I switched to Red Hat Linux, and have been using Linux ever since, although like many of us I still fix my relatives’ Windows machines every few months. For the first time since the power supply in my beloved Mac Plus had gone wonky back in Ô93, I had a Macintosh.Īfter the Plus died I was lured over to the Windows world by the promise of cheap multimedia, and was bitterly disappointed by the horroble gui of Windows for Workgroups 3.11. When I opened it, the package was neat and trendy, with a cute little setup book I didn’t need. It was light, as if I had orderd a new hard drive. The box arrived at my home in the Southern US two days after leaving Shenzhen. The following is the experience of a user of Linux for the desktop who got a Mac Mini.
