“In 1998 Silicon Prairie tested the installation of RedHat Linux
5.1 and found it difficult to understand-especially for people who
don’t think in 0s and 1s. With the introduction of an upgraded
version, 5.2, marketed as being easier to install, Silicon Prairie
tried again. Not only did we find similar problems with the new
version, we also found new ones.”
“The installation program proceeded smoothly until we tried to
partition the hard disk. Each time we tried, the program would
freeze. After a few trips to the Red Hat errata Web page and an
e-mail exchange with a helpful support engineer, we discovered that
the version of RedHat Linux that is shipping in early 1999 doesn’t
fully support Windows 98, which shipped last summer. In fact, it
also does not support the FAT32 file system, which has been
available for two years.”
