...The new Gentoo liveCD has a GUI and everything... it's /just/ as easy to use as knoppix...

I wasn't suggesting installing it! ;)

well that linsux bolloxs looks like a complete pain in the arse and not worth it.
clearly {for once} tinpoo had the rite idea.
way easier to backup, format and reinstall.
even though its proper old i thought id bash a shit OS like linsux.
here ends the lesson

Let's think about how many drivers that aren't part of a standard WinXP install that are required to get all the important devices working in Windows:

- Sound drivers
- LAN drivers
- Graphics card (to get above VGA)
- CPU for power saving modes

These have to be installed separately from the main OS. And how many for Linux?

-

nuff said (OK, perhaps the nVidia ones to get graphics acceleration, but that's it).
