It just works. Today I tried yet another installation of Linux and as with every other time there are problems that just seem to be unsolvable. It simply just does not work out of the box. I try it every couple years and it never works. Todays issue was that it came up and ran fine, except it does not see my keyboard. So I can't type anything. I won't be giving up too quickly, I'll go hit the forums and try to find a solution but I don't have high hopes. It is just way to technical for average users, you have to be well above average tech savvy to use linux. My dream to escape microsoft someday is still a dream it seems. By the way, before you jump on me and call me a stupid moron faggot computer illiterate, in a past life I held MCSE and CNE certifications.

How old is your motherboard and keyboard? I'ld try updating the BIOS to the latest version and trying different keyboards if that doesn't work. It's a problem recognizing USB in the BIOS that Linux isn't cleaning up for you like Windows does.

My computer is only about a year old, but I did update the drivers and it worked. I now have it working and plan on exploring it further.

Glad it's working."New" computers often ship with ancient BIOS btw.

That's interesting, in the future I'll check that sooner!
