If expee install without apps took you 57 minutes in your fast machine, then
I have news for you. Linux installs the OS with apps and utils
and a lot more in 40 minutes. You can try this with Ubuntu, or the
Knoppix DVD and then go suck eggs for your idiocy.
The apps are just too numerous to mention. For example, Open Office,
PDF readers, several window managers, ssh, webserver, xmaxima,
gimp, gcc, dd, audacity, kontact, k3b, qcad, etc..

Yes it is a big laugh isn't it, now that it can be proven
to management that windummies appear to be spending
a vast amount of company time having to hunt web shites
for micoshaft drivers and updates to get a simple PC working.
If it were down to me, I wouldn't allow windopw zealots
anywhere near a PC - I'd get one of the Linux guys
to wipe it and install the relevant apps from Linux
repository.

posting on behalf of micoshaft corporation in a Linux newsgroup.
