My attitude on this sort of thing is changing lately.  If I am going to
program, I program.  If I am going to be a "user", I use.  No more editing
XFree86 config files, and other wasted time for me.  It's watsed because:
If I write a program, it works, and continues to work.  It's work that
produced some product.  If I spend 4 hours playing with XFree86 to get
dual monitor working.. I probably didn't even learn something... I should
have just used a distro or script that made it work.  I like "hacking",
but it has to be interesting, not drudgery.  Editing XFree86Config every
single time I installed linux.. that was drudgery.
