#EPSON PRINTER DRIVERS FOR LINUX DRIVER#

Luckily a few days later slashdot published an article about the new installer relased by nVidia, based on the Loki installer designed to make driver installation painless. At this point my patience had run out and I decided to forget about the whole thing. nVidia provided the drivers, but installation instructions ran into several pages. Google is your friend and I found host of problems people were having with nForce. By this time it was clear to me that it had something to do with my video card (integrated GeForce2 on nForce chipset). At startup the system froze again when trying to bring up X. Did a fresh re-install again and this time did not try to test X. When it reached X configuration, I decided to test it and the whole thing froze again. Tried different installer resolutions, and finally got the installer to proceed in text mode. I decided to give it another try (this time carefully reading all the options). The whole experience left me with an unhealthy desire for green snakes.Ī few days later I found the Red Hat CDs again lying on my desk. A few monitor clicks… and, nothing! Waited a few a few minutes and reboot, and reboot, and reboot – the same thing happened again and again. I downloaded Red Hat 8: the installer started off by asking a couple of simple questions, and then went into ‘starting anaconda…’ mode. So, all the hype about Linux must be true after all! Larry Elison proclaimed that Linux with decimate MS (and my admiration for Larry Ellison is second only to Bill Gates). I realized that I have really come to like the open source applications that I have been using for a couple of years now – Mozilla: I love all the functionality that was provided by Netscape 4 (no popping weasels, and no dancing monkeys or zipping cars) with added stability Gimp: No more need for expensive photoshop and OpenOffice: My wife uses it for her school work.

I have been thinking of trying Linux at home for some time, and got the final impetus when: I do not have the option to choose OS at work – I primarily do database work for large corporations using expensive commercial databases.

I have been hearing and reading for a long time that Linux is great, that Linux is cool, and that Linux is free (as in live free or die).

These are my requirements for the home PC: “Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.” –Voltaire Although it was not easy, it does show that a novice can make Linux work with a little persistence. The whole experience reminded me of all the fun I used to have playing with Windows 3.1. This is the experience of someone who tried using Linux for the first time (most Linux veterans will probably find nothing surprising here). Here is – at times frustrating, and at times exhilarating – the journey I made trying to get Linux working on my desktop.
