But thanks for the answer! (2a) Mate - if you like Windows so much then go back to it? Rapidly losing time for idiots that come onto a development version of Linux and critise it - they should go back to Redmond and keep working on Longhorn! Your Microsoft cape is sticking out of your undies, my friend. (2b) If you're not a Windoze fan but want a version of Linux which will just work, then have a look at the enterprise version <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.redhat.com/">http://www.redhat.com/</a> - they'll even support you included in the price! Otherwise I think I speak for all of us that knowing about problems is good - people whining about them is unwelcome. (2c) Since when did Linux have to be better than Windoze? If you want Windoze - hey - go buy it! No-one is going to miss you if you do.
