Come on now, haven't you ever used an IBM Aptiva c66? That's what I'm
using right now-- took me (I am NOT lying) about 48 hours non-stop to get
X working with it's crappy video driver on board. I fried the parallel
port by unplugging something. It won't boot without that crappy
sound/modem card, and Linux doesn't like it. It it just an all-around
crappy computer, especially for Linux.
