I make a point of comparing hardware/software installs on windows vs linux (
same machine/same functionality [sort of]).
As a rule, windows has taken about 5x longer (and much more grief!) than linux
to do the same thing. But last weekend was the most extreme example: I
installed a voodoo3 3500 AGP card. After a day and a half of 2 dozen reboots,
numerous re-installs, lousy documentation and support on the web, window's sound
is messed up and the whole system is unstable and hanging every few minutes.
And this is with the software provided by the manufacturer! In utter
frustration I booted into linux and had it up and working (2D & 3D, still have
to do TV/Radio support) in 4 minutes!
Has anyone else installed the Voodoo3? ie, the 3500 on an overclocked LX mb??
TV/Radio support?
