We all may be more comfortable with the usability, look, feel, etc. of one 
distro vs. the next, but your statement is just simply ignorant. 

The stock 7.2 compiler is 2.95.3, and works just fine. I have compiled many 
packages with it, including KDE2.1beta2, and have had no compiler-related 
errors. 

I've been running 7.2 since it came out, and have had no problems. What's 
"terrible" about the menu system? It is clear, concise, and well-organized 
IMHO. And certainly easy enough to customize. 

Bob, I'm confused as to why it is you feel that your distribution that is not 
detecting a secondary drive. Please explain.
