I forgot to mention that the box said it didn't say Vista (98 to XP).
Is this true? I don't see how this would not work. What if one wants
to run Linux?

Why would anyone want to run Linux? Just asking.



People get curious, hear the nonsense about it, try it out, and once they
install it are willing to overlook the fact that half their hardware doesn't
work or at least not at full capacity .. then realize it takes just a moment
to change the screen resolution (just like Windows - whoopee) then go ahead
and do it a couple times only to have it crash on the third time and then
they have to spend hours and hours an hours trying to find the innumerable
and diverse config files to fix the buggered up screen resolution and once
they do find them they look at the config files and try to figure out how to
fix it and get snubbed at the Linux newsgroups with their "if you don't
already know you are stupid and beneath us attittude" .. so they go ahead
and try something only to have quagmire get thicker until they give up in
complete frustration and install Windows, what, with a few drivers install
runs fine and updates automatically.
