The Value of Play

| I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but this simply isn?t going to

| play, and being willing to engage in it, even if that involves risk.

| My advice to anyone who is as nervous about moving from the Live CD state
| to an "installed" state is this; back up your critical files onto a USB
| key or writeable CD and go for it. Yes, there is an overhead if not all
| of your devices are instantly detected by Linux; to be perfectly honest,
| Linux is better at this than Windows. I have never been in a situation
| when I?ve installed Windows and not had to have a packet full of CDs
| with device drivers on them.

I heard similar arguments in the context of VMWare. The other issue is an
assessment based on first reactions and incompatibility with 'Windows
habits', as bad as they may be.
