is ubuntu good?

[Hank Smith, and Seeing-eye dog Iona]

I also forgot to mention in my last message that I also tried going to 
the gparted program from mate itself using the alt f 1 and going to 
system tools, if memory serves that is where it is located
it then launches and the same behavior happens as described in last 
email that I sent out.
once again I am not trying to miss spread info but I have trying to 
figure this stuff out for several weeks and am about to give up on linux 
intirely I really don't want to cause I really like the stuff that linux 
offers the blind comunity
thanks
Hank
