After five months of Linux, I do Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| My "Windows Update" is hanging ... literally ... but now that I can
| actually use IE, I'm downloading all the open-source software I'll
| need for my test. Compared to the average Linux distribution's
| package management, this is brutal ... a hanging Web page. I've
| encountered this in the past, and what I do is start the Windows
| Update process and then walk away from the computer for as many
| hours as it takes. I'm not all that confident at the moment.

| So I download the PDF manual on the thin client (I found it on my
| Dell box while the updates were rolling). ... and I can't open it.
| Windows 2000 doesn't come with a PDF reader. ... Gotta go to Adobe
| and download one. I've gotten used to not needing to do that -- once
| again, every Linux distro I've tried has built-in PDF support, all
| for reading PDFs and most for creating them, too.
